Apparently no one but U.S. puppets can control the Middle East. Is it ok for China to control China? Cuba to control Cuba? North Korea to control North Korea? Or do you feel an irresistable urge to screw with them too? For every archair isolationist there appears to be at least one armchair neo-Con.
Sorry to disappoint you but it is not in the national interest of the United States to have Death to America Iran backed by one party state fascist Russia aiming ICBMs at us. That is most certainly the road obama pointed us down and now POTUS is trying to clean up that mess. Naturally, Putin’s fan boi club doesn’t approve. Too bad for them. There is a new sheriff in town.
Sorry, the neobolshevik demographic that dreams of a diminished United States and a world run by the likes of Death to America Iran and fascist Russia is thankfully minuscule. POTUS is going to asert US influence and day dreaming isolationists are going to have to deal with it.

You are delusional if you think that anti-war/conflict movement is small in the U.S. The general public is sick to death of all intervention and wars our leaders have gotten us into over the last (roughly) 20 years. Trumps pre-election rhetoric WAS isolationist. Are you seriously blind to that? If you want to see Trump get canned in 2020, then hope and pray he continues down this route. The same people on the political Left (as well as the neo-Cons on the right) who are praising him for this airstrike will abandon The Donald at first opportunity. He’ll never have their support. Again, Trump was NOT elected by national security hawks....he’d better remember that.
