Israel launches attack on Iran | US bombs Iran nuke sites

Maybe we should start a different thread for the political implications but I’m interested to see the initial polls in a couple of days. Other than brain dead lemmings like Ram and calla, this seems to be deeply unpopular on both ends of the spectrum. I’m also interested to see what impact this has on the Joe Rogans, Andrew Schultzes, etc. They’ve been pretty adamantly anti-foreign war, and if they start trashing Trump for this, it could have a big impact on the youth vote in the midterms.

Am I the only one that thinks the US military would annihilate any attempts by Iran to block the Strait? They sure couldn’t stop Israel from invading their airspace at will, why is the Strait any different?

That would be extraordinarily escalating even over what happened last night. If we take out Iran’s “navy,” we’re undoubtedly in a full-scale war.
 
Anyone who has been paying attention could see this coming. I called this during Trump's first term. All his bluster about "No more endless wars" and "peacetime president" were always just a shuck and jive. He has wanted to be a wartime president since he first came down that elevator to announce he was running. And being the bully that he is, he wanted to be able to choose his adversary for the easiest path to victory. You could see during his first term how he had this unnatural obsession with Iran, even though they posed almost no threat to us. Pulling out of the nuke deal was just the beginning. I believe the assassination of Soleimani was him trying to goad them into a war in 2020 so he could use it to his advantage during the election later that year. It's completely transparent.
