Not that I'm in favor of attacking Iran, but we're on our own if we do (except for Israel, who'd be overjoyed).

We could always count on the free nations of the world as allies. It's always been that way, at least in my lifetime. No more, though.
tRump and the MAGAts "America First" bullshit are going to insure that the U.S. slides into the abyss.

Thanks, tRump and your brain dead cult. 🖕
