| If you haven’t noticed the Iran war is universally unpopular. They actually do need to fabricate a reason to continue. |

| No they don’t - popularity isn’t all that relevant. The president can just order strikes tomorrow. Besides popularity isn’t the determination of whether something is a good idea or not. The Korean War for example was very unpopular yet it was the right and smart thing to do. |

| ▲ | ericmay an hour ago | parent [-] | | Well that’s wrong. The Korean War is what stopped authoritarianism from spreading and encompassing the entire Korean Peninsula. The blood of the 2.5 million civilians you’re citing falls on the tyrannical governments of China and the Soviet Union and their evil lapdogs in what is now North Korea. |
