@Maureen Greer I agree, NATO has 28 countries in Europe (including Turkey) all of which we protect, which is silly. We should go back to pre-WWII times in most cases, like going after Al-Queda for attacking our homeland on 9/11 However, Iran is an especially dangerous case who took our countrymen hostage in 1979-80. They a an evil regional power with allies, Russia/China/others. I am however frustrated that President Trump is apparently okay with the “limited war”, assassination of the Ayotallah Komani and destroying Iran’s nuclear facilities, whilteaving those poor Iranian rebels to sit there. Also, I am annoyed with $4.30-4.50 gallon gas because of a military operation that now we are allowing Iran to block the straights of Hormuz without sinking their ships. Didn’t we elect Trump to deal with difficult situations like this! No future President, Republican or Democrat will have the “guts” to outright overthrow Iran , which we can accomplish now.
