One thing you can discern from all the Trump cheerleaders on this thread is just how little they understand the Middle East, or the rest of the world, for that matter.
Make no mistake, these same people screamed themselves hoarse cheering on the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Everyone cheered themselves hoarse on invasion because we were told by not only our intelligence community, but England's as well, that there were WMD's, and that Hussein was in part responsible for the deaths of 3K Americans. Hind sight is always 20/20. Don't put yourself on a pedestal of hyperbolic virtuosity.
I don't think you appreciate how big a deal this is to them. This would be on par with the US losing Eisenhower in WW2.
That's a massive stretch

America is not nuking anybody. Also why would they be afraid of the US? They have no reason to be. America would never invade Iran. America's influence in the region is in terminal decline. Also Iran, Russia and China have been getting real chummy as of late. They will evidently force America out of the region in one way shape or form.

The US would never directly attack Iran and they know it. We tried it once back in the early 80's and it was a disaster. Also Iran is much more powerful and connected now then it was back then.
As much as I hate getting more involved in this hellish region but Americans despise and truly hate the ayatollahs, a war, even not full out, guarantees a second term
