I Don't Want America To Go To War Against Iran

In a war with Iran, the U.S. would very likely destroy the Iranian military, eventually. The U.S. has 100x the military budget of Iran. But it will be a far more bloody, difficult, costly conflict than the Iraq war. Iran has a much bigger, more effective military than Iraq did. Many U.S. military personnel will die and be wounded. The big losers include the civilian population of Iran. Thousands would die. The financial cost for the U.S. will be in the countless $ billions.

The long-term repercussions will be great. The Iranians could jam up the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, preventing oil tankers from leaving the region, which throw a money wrench into the world economy. And the U.S. and Europe will be the target of terrorist attacks as never before. Trump, of course, will be safe inside a bunker.

We in the U.S. must demand Congress restrain, and remove Trump and deescalate the situation with Iran before it's too late. A war with Iran would be a very ugly business.

They have no basis

Iran is not very stable. It has all kinds of factions just waiting to rebel against its leaders.

@badminton Not really in this case. Most of them don't identify as Iranians at all. They would love to be rid of the regime that has killed their family members.

@hippyjoe1955 "Iran is not very stable. It has all kinds of factions just waiting to rebel against its leaders." The same could be said of the U.S.

@badminton Not in the same way. Very very different circumstances. The US government hasn't been controlling the various regions and ethnicities through terror and murder and torture.

@MarmeeMarch That will cost a great deal of money. We will certainly need to reverse the Trump 2017 tax cut for the wealthy. Also all off-shore tax havens will need to be outlawed, the country will need that tax revenue for the war effort. The will be thousands of maimed and wounded veterans coming back from the fighting, they will need care. More billions.

This whole thing makes me sad. The way I see it, it's too late now. Yes starting a war so he won't get removed and that is all I have to say.

☝️They will likely retaliate against our allies, #Israel.
Then, it will be gloves off.😔
