The American people are not onboard with what's going on in Iran.

The war is turning into the ultimate test of an operating principle that has guided Trump for decades: construct a narrative, declare it to be true and relentlessly force the world to submit to it. It has proved effective in Manhattan boardrooms, on reality television and even at the heart of power in Washington.

Trump is an influencer who believes in the power of suggestion. The American people are not on board with what’s going on because he cannot articulate an argument for why we’re there or what victory actually looks like. Above all it is immoral both in substance as well as in execution.

Actually you are sadly mistaken. Can you honestly tell me you would feel safe if Iran had nuclear capabilities? And that you are happy with the 90,000 civilian's they killed just for protesting the regime?

90,000? Who fed you this shit? It must be the same people who told you that only 13 US servicemen were killed.

@Musicman Please stop following Faux News and get some real information. Iran did not kill its civilians. Its civilians were killed by weapons supplied by and in the hands of Mossad/CIA operatives. Iran has not attacked any countries. Israel and the US has attacked other nations since the end of WWII. They just attacked Iran despite the fact that Iran was following all the rules of the IAC and was adhering to the non proliferation treaty. You are cheering for the wrong side.

What nuclear capabilities? MAGAs were celebrating last summer because Iran''s nuclear capabilities were "completely obliterate". Or have you forgotten?

@hippyjoe1955 I don't watch Fox news, but even if I did they are light years better than CNN. You truly need a much better news source. I'm sorry you believe the lies they spread. However you still never answered my question. How safe would you feel if Iran had nuclear capabilities??? Please answer the question honestly. I am not interested in CNN's opinion.

@Musicman I don't follow any of the MSM but I do know what is going on in the world because of the people I do follow. They have a remarkable record of being correct even predicting the ruination of Ukraine when everyone else was sure that Russia would lose. Some of the ones I follow are personal acquaintances of people like Trump and Putin and Lavarov. Some have met Bibi and to a man detest him with a passion. Some are out of the US some are out of Europe and some are even Iranians.

I would feel as safe if a cobra has venom and a bee can sting. Don't mess with them and kick them around the way we Americans are wont to do.

@sree251 I'm sorry it took so long for Obama to reply to your email telling you what to say. All I asked for was your honest opinion and sadly you can't form your own opinion. I think it's time we part company. I truly feel bad for you.
