Everything You Think You Know About War With Iran Is Wrong
According to the media, war with Iran is going to happen. The death of general Hossein Salami — the man who the isolationist heart bleeds for despite the fact they admit they never heard of him — is going to start a third World War.
Wait, didn’t we have this song and dance before? First Trump would start war with Syria over drone strikes — a common practice — then it was because he was mean to North Korea, then it was because he was nice to North Korea, then it was because he was nice to Russia, then it was because he was mean to Russia — I’m starting to notice a pattern.
Threats of a Third World War have existed since the end of the second one. Back during the Cold War, people thought we would have a nuclear war with the Soviets — we didn’t. Then Bush would start World War Three after 9/11 — he didn’t.
Conversation on Iran has been so nonsensical that it’s high time someone set the record straight. Like normal, I guess that someone just has to be me.
