Trump's saber-rattling with Iran is both reckless and dangerous. Iran has one of the most powerful armies in the world, and our going to war with them would be utter catastrophe -- not only for them but also for us.

You might notice we aren't going to war, although Iran is already waging war throughout the Mideast. The US is imposing crippling economic sanctions that limit Iran's ability to support wars and terrorism while making its government unpopular at home.

No, the sanctions are not making the government unpopular with the Iranian people; they're only making US unpopular with the Iranian people.

Exactly, EVERYTIME WE get involved over there, the mulas gain strength and the average people lose it. Trump needs to stop. The original nuclear deal was working. like everything he does, he throws it all into literal chaos.

Actually not. There is a lot of civil unrest and the leadership is old and will be replaced soon; Khamenei, 79, has been in power 30 yrs. It also limits there ability to support wars against allies. issuesinsights.com/2019/05/0…

This Could Be the Year of Regime Change in Iran

Fear is clearly taking hold within the halls of power in Tehran, and one wonders if both the Ayatollah and the U.S. are thinking hard about the year 2019.
