Is there a Defense Treaty with Saudi Arabia that we signed and ratified? I’m pretty sure there isn’t one.
And Congress has not declared a State of War with Iran. That I’m certain of.
Iran is obviously a hostile regime and make no secret of their hatred for the U.S. but this simply isn’t our fight. The Saudis have billions of dollars in American war fighting equipment and decades of training supplied by the US military.
If Iran is responsible for this attack, and I do not doubt that btw, then let the Saudis respond. Their Air Force is more than capable of blasting Iranian oil facilities to rubble, or at least they should be. If they aren’t then let Europe and Japan do the heavy lifting for once.
It’s their problem they’re dependent on ME oil. Not ours.

We only get 10% of our oil from the Middle East now, and we are the world’s number 1 exporter.
Both Iran and Saudi Arabia do not like the U.S. because we are not Muslim society.
Saudi Arabia will talk to us though, and use our military might for their wars.
Right now our borders are getting flooded. Our National Debt is at an all time high. We have spent over 1 Trillion dollars in Afghanistan. Our country is going broke. It is Cloward–Piven strategy of financially breaking us is working.
The last thing we need is another Trillion dollar war that does not get us anywhere.
I am all for quick and devastating hits though. To scare the crap out of our enemies.
A long endless ground war is not the answer. Well according to the late McCain it should last around 100 years. This is what the Roman Empire did before it fell. Lets not make the same mistakes.
