Going to war with Iran directly, fomenting regime changes and nation building would most CERTAINLY not an example of isolationism or MAGA/American First foreign policy.

It's neoconism, the same thing that failed miserably in Iraq and Afghanistan under Bush.

In fact, Trump aggressively campaigned against all that.

What Trump campaigned directly against was allowing Iran to develop nuclear weapons. He railed against the Obama/Biden treaty and their policies that rewarded their bad behaviors. Or weren’t you paying attention?

Its past that point now.
With Israel targeting nuclear fscilities exclusively, which is against provisions of the Geneva convention agreements, and the strikes today against energy infrastructure in Iran, it now involves China, Turkey, India, Armenia, Pakistan, UAE, Qatar and others.

It is a regional war now.

Will be interesting the effects of the price of energy here and in Europa.

Russia has their own energy. But, all it will take is one targeted strike against Russian energy infrastructure and away itll go.

No strategic thinking at all.

Israel just took out Putin’s drone factory in Tabriz, Iran.

We don’t need to go to war with Iran. Israel is doing just fine. They have complete control over the skies in Iran. They can just do to be to bomb day after day.

What’s Iran going to do after they blow off their 2000 missiles? They will be unarmed at that point with no way to get more. Russia has none to spare, China is sitting this one out and the logistics of getting missiles from the Norks is complicated. Iran’s fuel mixers got blowed up real good back in October so there’s that.

I think we are hopefully looking at regime change.
