While we don’t know whether Trump will decide to attack Iran, these are exactly the movements we’ve been expecting, but so far not seeing, in advance of a sustained operation, both defensive and offensive.

    Prolonged wars in the middle east aren’t popular either as we only very recently ended two of them, but this administration has no imagination and is just copying what W Bush did.

    I agree it has already been decided as we’re seeing the very same manufactured consent in the media as we did before Iraq and Afghanistan, and Democrats are always willing to jump on board with whatever the Republicans want, so there isn’t really anyone around to stop it from happening.

      An easy win against an unpopular country will get you at least 4% approval rating Mr trump.

      It just feels a lot like the boys.
