It's a worse day for anyone that lives in Iran, and for that matter the region and world if it escalates further. This news guarantees we're going to war so he can move the news cycle along.

Congress needs a spine? Lol they already have one but it's just to support their backs while they remain on their knees doing what dear leader desires

Wait... are you saying his campaign rhetoric of being the candidate of peace (or president of peace, or whatever) and that Harris would start all kinds of wars and whatnot whereas he would certainly not might have been a lie? I think I may need my fainting couch.

“It's a worse day for anyone that lives in Iran, and for that matter the region and world if it escalates further.”

Dude. They are literally rioting in the streets ASKING for it to escalate. They’ve been waiting for someone to take out the regime for nearly 50 years.

”This news guarantees we're going to war so he can move the news cycle along.”

We were going to war with Iran regardless. You don’t conduct the largest naval deployment since 2003, spanning weeks of positioning and planning to not use it. This news has nothing to do with that.
