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.

Except the least competent president ever.

They may profess surprise. I suspect they don't care about those consequences, or they positioned themselves to profit from those consequences.
