I'm going to be blunt. The region would much prefer the US to do the dirty work.
I'm just angry because we got sucked into a war by Israel for reasons we don't know. I've heard the "Iran's going to have a nuclear weapon by ......" argument for too many years. They still don't have one, do they?
Further, MAD is a real thing.
The election has set me off. Just today, or was it yesterday, I believe it was Hannity who once again played the tape of Hillary stating she would attack Iran if she were to become President.
John McCain, whom you all know I despise, pushed President Bush to attack Iran during OIF. He pushed very hard. He also worked in concert with Hillary to supply weapons to the Kurds who in turn were using them on everyone in the region.
No, we got sucked into this. One could speculate there are certain tapes of Trump peeing in the bed of a Russian hotel or there is dirt in the Epstein files that hasn't been made public that left him no choice. Whatever it is, the idea that Iran was close to developing and using a nuclear weapon is IMO highly speculative. And, as the world has seen for 47 years, Mossad has been very effective at dealing with Iran's nuclear ambitions.
