I agree with you on it appearing to be an ill conceived war. But, if we look at history and we take President Eisenhower at his final address warning about the dangers of the military industrial complex and add in the current axiom "follow the money" it becomes clear. Once again the billionaire investors come to the fore. What we see historically right before all major military conflicts is financial instability on a national and global basis. Followed by sudden needs for emergency funding for weaponry with rumors of shortages for more and the wealthy who are invested in or own the associated industries become the winners in the end at the expense of the citizenry. Yes, jobs are created which helps the economy but, at the cost of humanity. The rich can afford draft dodging and the poor become fodder and bullet catchers.

Just look at the markets and companies who produce equipment, components and supplies needed to wage war and who is invested in these in government. They want to do what has been done in Gaza and iraq to Iran using nukes as an excuse when they are number three behind the saudi's in oil exports. Tear it down , distract so they can profit later and make money on both ends. Iran will be multiple times more difficult than iraq was and to complicate things more, we have no allies to assist and rely on any more thanks to Mr. Trump.

Impeachment, prosecution, removal and massive legal reforms need to transpire to prevent dictatorship in America ever again.

Good work. Succinct and to the point--grim as the point is. Sigh.

You wrote, "He is now perpetrating the biggest lie in a history of his lies...." What's scary is that the Iran War may just be the biggest lie to-date.
