That’s exactly what the Dims would suggest: DefinE the cOnflict as a criminal matter, to be dealt with by the courts, rather than a military matter, requiring a miltary response. That’s EXACTLY the approach the Clintonistas took in the 90s, and look where it got us.
Uh, that would be “Define the conflict....”
I suggest this only to provoke a response from Iran. Get them to officially declare they are interfering with sovereign nation. Bring them out into the open. If that does not work then I’m okay with sudden lead poisoning.
