but there’s virtually no way the USA under Harris would have engaged twice in military adventurism in Iran. www.youtube.com/watch?v=48DxQTPOouU she wouldn’t have alienated beforehand every single potential ally through tariffs and belligerent rhetoric, Trump is just treating the US’ allies as they always has been; vassal states. He’s mask off and the vassal states can not do anything about it for that reason. It’s why Denmark won’t do anything but bark for their master when it comes to Greenland as an example.

Even if she as President had a stroke causing her to take Bibi’s bait and start a war with Iran, she wouldn’t have alienated beforehand every single potential ally through tariffs and belligerent rhetoric, that most nations would provide the USA some token support which would keep it from being as disastrous for the USA as it is. That’s a point against. I don’t want the war to be done competently. I would rather we get our asses kicked so badly that the administration gives up, and even talking about fucking with them again becomes politically toxic. We had an international coalition going into Afghanistan, and then we were there for 20 years and accomplished nothing but blood and death. If Europe had reacted like they’re doing with Iran, how many lives might have been saved by the war being cut short? Since the war is unjustified, surely it’s better that we lose. Or are you saying, “My country, right or wrong?” Granted, I don’t fully agree with the other person’s position. I think that Trump is doing more damage than Harris would have, I just don’t believe that you should automatically support the “lesser evil.” And I don’t know really know how unlikely it really is that she’d stay out of Iran with her rhetoric about “the most lethal military in the world,” her campaigning with Cheyney, and with Biden increasing the military budget to an all time high. I’m not aware of anything she ever actually said that indicated that she was inclined to a peaceful foreign policy.

“How can you say Harris would be the same as Trump? She would have prosecuted the brutal war of aggression competently!” And this is why BlueMaga are just as fascist as their red counterpart

The person who’s a fervent supporter of Israel, genocide, who said “Iran is the biggest threat to the US” AND “we will have the most lethal military in the world” could never conceivably start a war with Iran. Even if she as President had a stroke causing her to take Bibi’s bait and start a war with Iran You’re right, looking at her history we can safely conclude she would remain sceptical of Israel and not just do whatever they wanted her to do. she wouldn’t have alienated beforehand every single potential ally through tariffs and belligerent rhetoric, Yes, the issue with the war in Iran is that it hasn’t been waged correctly. Im John Kerry and I’m reporting for duty.

Israel would have gone alone but with additional billions dollars from the USA and naturally Iran will blame the usa too leading to the same result. I can’t wait for dems to win to see how they will not stop the war. It is a shame that allies did not left you before Trump because you are the worst terrorist empire since the end of the british empire
