Another war over something that isn't our problem sounds like a great idea. Folks that scream "Death to America" and are developing nuclear weapons is not a problem? I must be missing something here. Zim

Iran will get the Russians to send support for them and that will tie our hands just like it did in Syria just put a few Russians here and there and not much we would do then!
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Zim Also, oil at 150-200 a barrel is not going to be a good thing for the global economy. That sounds like a problem for everyone

I doubt if the Brits will get into a costly confrontation that they cant afford. They will give back Iran its oil and will get theirs back in return,thus de-escalating the tensions. Then they will likely stay out of the Trump sanction policework and let Trump do it himself-The USA can police their own sanctions. As far as hormuz,a few oil tankers scuttled in the main channel and some mines,and it would be closed for good. No commercial ship would get insurance to travel there.And big oil companys wont take the risk. Once that happens escalation involving the Saudis is inevitable.(Saudis also have Nukes as well as Pakistan)

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Zim With this calculus we should start a war with North Korea too. Instead we exchange love letters.

The worst enemy the US will soon face is the progressive socialists of Europe. Supporters of this one world government have already warped many Americans with their promises of welfare for all. Sooner, rather than later, we will have to stop them or lose our identity as a nation.
Keith You may be right Keith. Saw in the headlines where the German Chancellor Merkel feels 'solidarity' with the Anti-Semite Omar. History repeating itself???

Went through this with Iran in 1987-88 on my last cruise on the USS Forrestall operation Earnest Will escorting Kuwaiti tankers. Our F 14's would shred their boston whalers with 20mm hei. J

Merkel is as dumb as all the ragheads she is letting into her country. That's a ready made tinder box right there! And yes, history always repeats it's self!

I would like to see a War Tax paid by all Americans every time we go to war. If that is done politicians would be a lot more careful about deciding which conflicts they decide are of benefit to this country and her people. I would guess most Americans already know that our taxes pay for our wars. Taxes are what provides most of the US budget. Keith

Keith Our taxes don't come close to covering the US budget every year, we have a spending deficit. The deficit/debt used to be a big deal amongst conservatives and republicans, I hardly ever hear about it anymore. Wars add greatly to the deficit and debt, if everyone had to suffer financially the "do their part", it might make some hawks think twice about sending young men to die every time someone does something we don't like.
