Comment on Trump moves more military might to the Middle East as Iran fails to make deal ahead of key deadline

I thought we were looking at a scenario where there would likely be no war but the division between conservative/liberal media on this is pretty stark.
I still don’t really know what will happen.
Could go either way.

usa is going to invade iran before the midterms. because of the midterms. “iran is building nukes!!!!” has been the same worn out bullshit fox news talking point for what, 20+ years now? and of course we learned nothing from the “iraq has WMDs” lie that led us into that complete dumpster fire that accomplished nothing.
the difference is iran is NOT iraq, and they’ve been gearing up for exactly this for 20+ years.

right, I totally get what you are saying, but the amount of people in the diaspora desperate for regime chang and desiring freedom, not continued life under an autocratic theocratic regime, is through the roof. It is also the same that the protest movement is huge in Iran.
If we were to view this solely through the lens of diplomacy, I would agree with you, but I am seeing it more broadly.

i don’t get what you’re trying to say. that war isn’t likely? that it could go either way, not because of diplomacy, but because “more broadly”?
there will be war. i wish i was wrong.

I agree with criticizing the war if it is purely about geopolitics.
Btu we also have to think of the perspectives of the Iranian people and the Iranian diaspora.
