Why should the same people who opted twice in favour of Israel and Trump suddenly vote against the war on Iran in a third voting?Yeah, I do remember some of the military actions that Obama took. But declaring all-out war on another country? I can't remember any.
Trump declared war on Iran, attempted regime change and is discussing sending troops to Iran for invasion. I cannot remember anything remotely similar to this done by Obama.
Let's use deconstruction to analyze this problem.Iran has shown it prioritizes sovereignty and justice over the number of states calling for its capitulation. Whether two hundred or two hundred and one makes little difference from Iran's perspective. Moreover, this number is likely exaggerated in light of recent events. When a nuclear armed nation cautions a historically rooted state like Iran against pursuing similar capabilities, it raises questions about the consistency and intent behind that stance.
At this point a ground invasion seems imminent, making hypotheticals about nuclear deterrence largely irrelevant.
Major powers tend to act expediently, if not opportunistically. This is well understood in Tehran. As a result, any support extended to Iran is understood to be driven by the interests of these allies (perhaps more accurately described as strategic partners) rather than by principle or goodwill.
