[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still don't understand why Republicans want this war with Iran. There was a perfectly good deal under Obama that constrained Iran's nuclear program and kept the Strait of Hormuz open for everyone. Every war plan and gaming exercise started with the assumption that Iran would seize control of Hormuz and take control of 20 percent of the world's oil and gas. That's rudimentary geopolitics. So why start a war at all when the US already had everything they wanted under Obama - free passage and no nukes for Iran. And now there is zero change Iran is going to give up control of Hormuz and abstain from pursuing nuclear weapons.

So what was the point? The US - and the world - is the huge strategic loser here. Are Republicans just dumbasses? Are Republicans all servile to Israel, which wants chaos in the Middle East? For America's interests, this may be the dumbest war in modern history.  [/quote]

That you actually think Iran wasn't well on its way to developing nuclear weapons - regardless of any "perfectly good deal under Obama" - just shows how naive you are.  [/quote]

Let’s say Iran did have nuclear weapons during the Obama years and were able to hide this from inspectors. What difference does it make? A decade has gone by and they’ve not attacked anyone with it. Also if they do have nuclears, why are we poking the bear? This is the second time in less than a year that we declared war on Iran. They could’ve easily closed the strait of  Hormuz and attacked all our bases  last year when we first declared war but they showed restraint with the orange clown. Now, they are angry and flexing their muscle throughout the region. This time, after the false peace treaties and our bombings of civilian infrastructure including a school, they were pissed and decided to retaliate with force to serve as a deterrent. [/quote]
