    The establishment politicians in DC have been absolutely chomping at the bit for war with Iran ever since Trump reneged on the nuclear deal. This is really dumb because unlike Iraq/Afghanistan, Iran is a big country with a serious military backing it. We would need material allied support in such a conflict, and Biden’s “ironclad” stance on Israel has burned bridges rapidly across the globe. If this is the basis for a new war, I suspect it will cause a massive political rift.

    Back down you old fools. If it goes hot, GenZ will not be signing up to save your asses with boots on the ground.

      “The US Navy currently has no defense against hypersonic missiles” needs to be a little memorable bit of wisdom in the same way “The Hamptons are not a defensible location” is.
