So, why are we at war with Iran? Anyone have any reasonable theories? Let's say Israel was determined to start a war, and Trump just went along with it? Is that a likely scenario? If so, why?
Is it a bunch of old-timers butthurt about the hostage thing 50 years ago who have been waiting to start this war? Are there enough of those around?
Ignore for a moment that this war makes no sense from any logical standpoint. What's the pressing need in the ruling class' mind that produces this war? I'm really at a loss here.
