War With Iran Is Contrary to U.S. National Interests
Israel’s unprovoked attack on Iran was an action that undermined United States national interests and United States involvement in the war is contrary to the national interests of the United States. When the focus is on America First and not Israel First, this statement is obvious.
The back and forth between Israel and Iran has been going on for decades and there is mutual hatred. The leadership of both countries is nuts. It does not serve U.S. national interests to get involved in this conflict. Americans have had it. No more stupid Middle East wars that are designed to bankrupt the United States, and in this case, potentially crash the economy.
Israel’s attack was unprovoked. The argument in favor of the attack rests on the position that Israel has a right to defend itself and that Iran obtaining nuclear weapons is a perceived threat to Israel. Israel has a right to exist. Therefore, a preemptive Pearl Harbor style attack on Iran was justified.
This basis for foreign policy is based on paranoid psychopathy. If the United States and Russia had this approach the world would have been sent back into, the stone age a long time ago. A preemptive attack would be legitimized if you knew your enemy was going to launch in an hour and you beat them to the punch. Even there, there is so much room for error and miscalculation that preemptive attacks are a very dangerous and potentially disastrous road when we are dealing with nuclear weapons.
Unfortunately, President Trump has made statements that he was aware of everything and that he supported the attack on Iran. This statement runs contrary to a statement put out by Secretary of State, Rubio, that the United States had nothing to do with the attacks. To make matters worse, the U.S. air force and navy have been involved in the air defense of Israel. The United States is already involved.
Of course, proponents of the war are creating a false dichotomy between Zionism and Anti Semitism. This is deliberately designed to guilt people and make them
