this is still ABSOLUTELY FUCKING EVIL
Devil's advocate (lol): Trump has, both in the prior term and this one with the Houthis, killed many groups of people working against American interests. Almost every president has. Assuming it was just taking out nuclear sites and not indiscriminate bombing of cities, what makes this time different?
I feel betrayed... Trump fucked up... this is a FUCKING BIG ONE
MAGA is a big tent with this issue having become a massive chasm in the middle. The people on the other side feel just as strongly about it as you do. If he did what you want he would be betraying them. Both sides are his "base", why should he listen to us over them?
I'll admit most of the pro-war types are elite donors, neocon influencers, and Israel First evangelicals, but if you talk to people there are plenty of American Joes who just want to grill AND bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.🎵
This was evil... Iran was not week away from The Bomb. But, even if they were, we could have waited a bit more
Would waiting have made it less evil?
I didn't want us joining Israel's campaign. I personally don't care if Iran gets the bomb and don't think they would actually be a danger to us. Now you can call the other side zionist boomers brainwashed by Faux News or whatever, but A MEGATON of Trump voters do believe that and think it's important for us to stop any "rogue state" from getting nukes no matter the cost. You may not like it but from a Realpolitik perspective I'm not sure he's wrong. Is it even going back on his campaign promises? He did say he would not to get us involved in new wars, but he never said he would give up America's position as the supreme world military power. He's always been on the "unipolar world" side.
