Donald needs a war to secure a 2nd term

[Cobs]

Iran is completely surrounded but we still haven't moved .... for a reason.
Remember America aren't very good at winning wars.

War of independence.
War against Spain that gave America all of Spain’s remaining colonies.
Sorted the Germans and Japanese.
All Total War

Then the politicians and public took charge and ever since it’s been limited war abiding by strict rules.
Send any boxer into the ring with one arm tied behind his back and watch what happens.

You’re an ill informed moron.

HEY,HEY,HEY...Leave rollup alone now. He's a dogs patriarch and every thing he says is gospel and has to be believed.
(Or, he's a doddery old c**t. With barely any education)

One man, one vote.

The biggest reason the US hasn't done anything is we have to finish all of the FEMA camps for Americans that will oppose the war.

As with all domestically failing leaders Donald needs to divert attention away from said failings to make himself popular, and what better way to do that than to go to war.
He has moved US Embassy to Jerusalem and is clearly taking sides in doing so.
He is aligned with the Saudis against Iranian regional mastery.
Turkey is a NATO ally.
With the old adage "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" it seems there could be an odd alliance of US/Israel/Saudi Arabi lining themselves up to deal with a common foe and that can only be Iran.
Iran after all has nuclear ambitions and the Donald has made a first move in withdrawing from Obama's olive branch agreements and is indeed going down the route of crippling sanctions.
The Iranian currency is failing, teachers are striking in Iran and goods and supplies are suffering and the Iranian people are not happy resulting in civil discontent and protests.
More of this is to come with even more sanctions which will cripple the country even more, and this can be done by US pressure on other countries NOT to deal with Iranian oil companies.
When its economy is on its ass and the people in open revolt all that is needed is a pre-emptive strike from Sea and Air to take out all major military infrastructure followed by an attack on civilian infrastructure and they'd be very much in the stone age.
Could Iran stop this with current military assets? No not a hope in hell! And I am sure Tel Aviv and the Saudis would join in to help remove the biggest threat to themselves in the region.
We could end up with another 3rd world shitehole in total disarray with inter-factional fighting and to arms could be sold for cheap oil. Better to deal with factions rather than a strong nation state after all - as per previous cases in recent decades.
Personally I do think plans are being laid and I wouldn't be surprised if Turkey gets involved too. Donald wants a war.
No need for troops on the ground either.

He's not a failing leader, so your premise is baseless, not to mention ridiculous.

Oh I didn't realise he is an extremely popular wonderful universally adored leader of his nation - apologies.

And the Saudi's slaughtering a journalist doesn't really help matters.

They won the war of independence only with the help of the Russians and the French.
I know they won their civil war.
America didn't show up for the second world war till extra time.
Russia won the second world war while Wall st backed Germany.

Really? It must have been decided by a lack of Wall Street Troops then
Russia won the war? No offence old bean but Russia was getting its arse kicked and it was only because of lend lease they managed to hold on.
German Generals admitted that they lost the war because they did not defeat Britain.
And it is true, leaving Britain undefeated was a disaster for the Nazis because they were subjected to 24 hour bombing and the massive lend lease programme that sent so much war materiale to Russia which helped the Russians strengthen their resolve and overcome their darkest hours.
Joe Stalin himself said that without lend lease program the allies would not have won the war.

Russia on its own would have been beaten, the 24 hour bombing of the Nazi war machine and factories is something you fail to appreciate fully.
The amount of men needed to guard the western wall and serve in home defence because they did not conquer Britain meant hundreds of thousands of troops sitting on their arses doing nothing who could have been better used on the eastern front.
And had Britain been subjugated there would have been no American aid and/or forces keeping the Krauts under pressure, plus British factories would have been churning out arms for the Nazis too.
Your very limited views are pretty shocking.
