Subject: Who Could Have Predicted??
The reasons other presidents avoided war against Iran —

-economic cost to the U.S.,

-bombardment of our Gulf allies,

-closure of the Strait of Hormuz and soaring oil prices,
-high civilian casualties,

-a vengeful regime still in place but more determined to pursue a nuclear weapon, and

-Russia’s economic bonanza —

all have surprised Trump and his regime of lickspittles.

“When past presidents balked at the possibility of war with Iran, they weren’t just dodging a hard choice; they were deterred by all of the obvious reasons a conflict could perilously spiral,” Franklin Foer wrote recently. “Nobody should be shocked that the expected is now coming to pass.”

Except the least competent president ever.
