Yes, let's escalate the conflict further, surely this will save lives!

Maybe we could compromise and put landmines in Lindsey Graham's backyard?

It's Iran just the default country to blame when something bad happens?

Trump gave Israeli national defense secrets to Russia, which would love US attention partially diverted from Ukraine, and who happens to be a close ally of Iran (Iran is supplying Russia with weaponry)

Iran is one of the main sponsors of Hamas. Iran has also been under US sanctions of varying degrees for about 45 years, so it would be happy should the US lose face or power.

I'm not saying Iran is responsible, but they were likely middlemen.

Them, Russia, Cuba. Used to be Venezuela, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, but our jackals already messed them up, so no need, now.

He's always so eager to start a war, as long as he's not fighting it.

And yet he's totally fine with the over 2800 Americans dead or injured from domestic mass shootings in 2023 alone.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

What could possibly go wrong. I just can't imagine any negative consequences for US from bombing Iran.
