Do you think the U.S. will be at war with Iran before the 2020 election?

BlueMetalChick26-30, F
I really fucking hope not but with John Bolton as the national security advisor I really wouldn't doubt it. He asked the NSC to draw up plans for a preemptive bombing on Iran long before this situation with the supposed Iranian attacks on the oil tanker ships. Not to mention his repeated attempts to convince both the president and Congress to invade North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua in the last 18 months.

@BlueMetalChick Bolton has never seen a war or a potential war he didn't absolutely salivate over. He'll have us at war if he can possibly manage it.

I don鈥檛 think Iran is ready to be annihilated ... if the US is provoked ... Israel and other NATO countries will also attack
@helenS I would check your sources considering the original statement you reference was debunked a decade ago.

@helenS What I mean by check your sources is check who is doing the translation. The first statement you quoted was deliberately mistranslated or more accurately invented by someone with a political agenda. As someone who reads Russian I can tell you Iran is not the only nation regularly misquoted for a political objective.

And even if true posturing and words are not actions. Iran has not attacked anyone in about a century. The USA and Israel have almost turned it into a sporting event.

Interesting with Iran war is that John Bolton is following the exact same playbook he did with Iraq. Diffrence is nobody thinks this war is a good idea while back in 2003 it was a pretty popular war at first.

Who wants to see a loved one come back in a body bag over this? Really?

@CountScrofula In 2003 I predicted what would happen and was 100% right, but nobody listens to me, noooo
SW-User
True. Iraq was popular because we wanted a nation to punish for 9/11. No such context now. @CountScrofula

I think Trump will pick a war with just about anyone if he thinks it will get him re-elected

I hope not. That would be scary
No. I hope not anyway.

Trump does seem to want to destabilise the world so nothing would surprise me
BlueMetalChick26-30, F
@Dlrannie Trump is very easily swayed by those around him. He's got Bolton, Pompeo, and Abrams talking into his ear so that's a very bad sign.

@BlueMetalChick I agree with your assessment 馃檪
SW-User
If you鈥檙e asking whether I think it will be a political calculation, it would not surprise me.
SW-User
Hoping it will not come to that.
Uhhh, just another thing the world needs right now.馃う鈥嶁檪锔忦煒愶笍
Maybe. Or North Korea. Maybe even Russia.
Let's hope nobody is that stupid.

I certainly hope NOT.
QuixoticSoul41-45, M
I doubt it tbh.
CountScrofula41-45, M
No clue.
