What is our goal in the Middle East. It looks like they want to turn a few countries into rubble like Gaza.

Take away all infrastructure and turn housing to rubble??? Hegseth is a joke. It’s like I’m watching an SNL skit right now.

I’m sick to my stomach for the people of Iran.

Some suggest that the attacks are to dismantle Iran's influence in the region with proxies and neutralize their impressive military strength.

Another country that is believed to have convinced the US to go to war is Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia aims to curb Iran's expansionism and secure its position as the primary power in the region, countering Iran's influence in countries like Yemen, Syria, and Lebanon. Iran is a threat to their

There is a long history of hostility between Saudi and Iran. And Iran has attacked the Saudi oil facilities and blocked the Gulf previously.

The winner is Putin:
EU is afraid to call this a lawful war, US is using up our weapons, there’s turmoil across the MidEast, stress across the globe, etc.
