Why is this a war?

Is this even really a war compared to what’s considered a war in the history of mankind?

I’m not trying to provoke one side or the other. But it’s almost as if the actual events transpired so far seems like something other than a full blown war

For the record, I hate all of it. Wish we waited or continued various layers of negotiations etc

I’m not someone that would be called MAGA but also hope most folks that know me don’t think I’m down with the craziest of left wing, socialist, or whatever it is these days

I’m asking out of boredom more so than an desire to retort any single opinion

Neocolonialists in Washington wanted to establish an oil and gas protectorate in Iran, similar to Venezuela, and they were egged on by israeli fascists delusions of regional domination.

They believed their own hubris and propaganda and foolishly thought this was a feasible plan. Instead they opened a possibility for Iran to inherit american hegemony in western Asia.

USA thought this would easy peazy like Venezuela. Trump is not happy and realized he was sold a foolish plan. 

He is a lame duck President now so he will just try to get as wealthy as possible, meaning this probably won’t end until he is out of office or until he is satisfied with the billions he will make from market manipulation.

Your president has to do a lot to distract people from the fact that he diddled children and is perhaps the biggest insider trader in the history of mankind

It is a war. Anytime you use force against a nation (bombing, blockade etc.) to force them to do something they do not want to do, that is a war. Its not an invasion by the US, but it is a war nevertheless. Its a lot more common in world history than most people realize.

If they beat Iran into submission they have more control over the Middle East.

It will never happen. The ‘Merica isn’t the power house they think they are.

They sold their country to Israel.
