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.
