    That would be the 3rd unprovoked attack on a country by the president of peace. Is the US just trying to start wars with weakened countries until they finally win one? Pathetic.

      Way more than three.

      Venezuela: In January 2026, U.S. forces bombed Caracas and captured President Nicolás Maduro after months of a naval buildup, oil tanker blockades, and anti-drug strikes in the Caribbean.

      Iran: The U.S. carried out joint strikes with Israel (including Operation Midnight Hammer) targeting key nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

      Yemen: The U.S. military expanded its air and naval campaign against Houthi forces in Yemen and the Red Sea to protect commercial shipping lanes.

      Somalia: U.S. warplanes launched counterterrorism strikes against Islamic State (IS) operatives hiding in the Golis mountains.

      Iraq and Syria: The military conducted airstrikes to hit ISIS positions and defend U.S. service members from hostile fire.

      Nigeria: U.S. forces executed targeted air strikes against local Islamic State militant groups

      No, Trump is trying to distract from his failures as a human being. He thought Iran would be easy - it wasn’t. So he’s going after someone he thinks is weaker to keep the distractions going & expecting the usual wartime support from “patriotic Americans.” He’s worn them out already & ain’t likely to get much, IMHO.

      I so want out of this shithole.

      Like most autocrats, he’s just trying to get his country bogged down in as many emergency-powers humanitarian nightmares as possible to avoid going to jail.

      No, he just wants people to stop talking about the Epstein Files. He’ll torch the world to achieve that goal.

        Iran will not let them out until after the midterms, there’s your war (undeclared like everything since WW2).
