Cool, crash the price of oil right be fore the election.
Biden is trying to make Harris lose. He hates her for taking his job.

If anyone wants, here’s an extremely optimistic 2009 Brookings Institute white paper on how various hostile actions against Iran would play out based off numbers and history.
Chapter 3 analyses a “boots on the ground” invasion (the occupation would require a draft), Chapters 4-6 analyze American and Israeli airstrikes. Neither of them expect Iran to employ masses of drones or close the strait, and they consider ballistic missiles against US assets unlikely.
While they have an extreme western bias, there’s no way you can twist the numbers to look good.

Good luck, I’m defecting as soon as they don’t have eyes on me.
It makes it pretty clear how insanely unfeasible a ground invasion of Iran would be even with the most optimistic assumptions.
1.3 million just for the occupation of an 88 million pop country, and that number just comes from other occupations, without taking into consideration the terrain or people or last 50 years of preparation for asymmetrical warfare.
Why is still president?
Because the term isn’t up yet and taking him down for being unable to perform his duties would be greatly damaging to US optics-based politics.
You’re right. But how is it not damaging to US optics-based politics to have a dementia addled old man start a war with Iran?
I don’t know, i never seen starting a war being damaging to US politics, it usually gets their numbers up.
Iran really should be preemptively striking Israel; I mean Israel is literally drawing up invasion plans.
It’s called deescalation through escalation.
America supports it when Israel does it, that means it’s okay.
Iran, go right ahead. Lebanon, go right ahead. Hamas, go right ahead.
Israel and America have already stated this is a perfectly valid reasoning. The rules of war go both ways.
Again: If America is the world ethics, these actions are perfectly valid. This is what America does.
This is what America does.
Except it isn’t. USA does not preemptively attack countries which plan to attack USA, since nobody is doing that. USA wrecks and coups countries because they are either trying to leave the US hegemonic control or the ones that are simply appealing targets for imperialism.
