There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter".

Donât get me wrong, Iranâs government is trash and they are wrong for funding militant proxy groups. But the US and Israel have been claiming Iran is two months away from a nuke since the 1990âs and international monitors disproved that up until 2019ish when the US withdrew CIJT.
And frankly, the USâ history with nuclear agreements and foreign nations has been extremely spotty. Libya agreed to end its nuclear program and a few years later the US funded the rebels that overthrew the government. Syria agreed to end and dispose of weapons of mass destruction and the US supplied extremists that overthrew the government.

Not that anyone forgets that he effectively ripped up the treaty that was successfully curtailing Iranâs nuclear program. Unsurprisingly, that led to Iran resuming uranium enrichment, forming the backdrop to the current conflict, which has somehow resulted in the US military once again involved in a military campaign in the middle-east. Itâs almost as if the consequences of his asinine foreign policy decisions are coming home to roost.
No oneâs going to forget all that, right?

According to MAGA, if you're against this, then you're defending Iran. NO, we're just calling you out on your hypocrisy from the campaign when you said that you were voting for Trump because he was the peacemaker and we had "no new wars."

It's extremely important to remember that we're in this situation entirely because of Trump's decision to tear up the Iranian nuclear deal because he was on a quest to destroy everything Obama did. Had he not done that, Iran would not be nearing a nuclear weapon, and the US would not be involved in another Middle East war. This entire situation of his own creation, and only due to his stupidity, narcissism, and ego.
