I guess it is because I am old. I am now 53 years old, and see a Republican President about to make the same mistake that George W. Bush made with Iraq.
Trump is now threatening war with Iran, while promoting peace in the Middle East. This via New York Post:
WASHINGTON — A defiant Iran has teamed up with fellow anti-West rogue nation Russia for a series of naval drills in the critical oil chokepoint of the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman — despite the Trump administration warning Tehran it’d be “very wise” to cut a deal now.
Russia and Iran have held joint naval exercises annually since 2019, but this time they come amid a growing American military buildup in the region and possible strikes.
The drills are intended to “prevent any unilateral action in the region,” Iranian navy Rear Adm. Hassan Maqsudlu told reporters, RadioFreeEurope reported.
The show of military might comes as the White House warned that “there are many reasons one could make for a strike against Iran.”
“The president has been very clear with respect to Iran or any country around the world, diplomacy is always his first option,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Wednesday.
“Iran would be very wise to make a deal with President Trump and with this administration.”
The Trump administration is about to learn a very important lesson, that you cannot use mob-type tactics with hostile nations. Now, with Iraq, they had old Soviet era airplanes, tanks and weapons. Iran is another story, they have modern airplanes, sold to them by Russia and there are Russians there as well, working with the Iran, doing these military exercises.
If you do not think that Russia would jump at the chance to join into a war with Iran, against the United States, you are very highly mistaken. Another thing to consider is; what about China? If you think that Iran and Russia would not put a call into China for help, if the USA started getting the upper hand, you are very highly mistaken. China’s military is three times the size of the United States Military.
I voted for America first policies, I voted for a President who would put America first. I did not vote for a President who would pursue Neoconservative style foreign policy. I did not vote for a Bush type President.
I just hope and pray that the Trump Administration does not overplay their hand.
