Not a Trump supporter, but if there's a war with Iran, it will only increase the number of refugees from the area, which means more immigration issues.

@deadgerbil True. There is no good reason for going to war. There will be no winners, only losers.

@SimplyTracie Here's a random thought: just imagine all of the wars that could have been avoided(Korean, Vietnman, and middle eastern stuff) if we just took out the USSR right after WW2...

@deadgerbil Hmmm, something to ponder but weren’t we allies with the USSR way back then?

@SimplyTracie Back then, the UK and the US had a very tenuous alliance with the USSR that quickly soured after the war. They had a common enemy(Germany). After Germany was gone, they divided the country up which led to West/East Germany, berlin wall, ba ba ba. The US made sure to expedite the fall of Japan using atom bombs before the USSR could get involved.
I mean, we had a monopoly on atomic weapons at the end of the war. Could've taken out the source of the conflicts that defined the latter part of the 20th century.

@deadgerbil But we weren’t at war with the USSR so we wouldn’t have nuked them. However, if we did, they wouldn’t have meddled in our 2016 election huh? 🤔🤔🤔

@SimplyTracie Exactly. Turn the tables on them when they are at their weakest point(Germany just knocked the crap out of them, we have atomic weapons, etc)
XD yup, no meddling would have happened(!), along with the Korean war, Vietnam, proxy wars in the middle east..., Cuban missile crisis? Not happening without the USSR lol
