War with Iran?

That is a concise expression of the paradox and the problem of US politics right now.

How does criticism of president who was elected with some 17 women accusing him of sexual assault, promising to disrupt US foreign policy and ban Muslims, become excessive at the moment he brings the US to the brink of a terrible, unnecessary and economy-crushing war after with Iran after tearing up a treaty involving five other nations--while at the same time ramping up a trade war with China, fielding yet another rape accusation, and obstructing an investigation into his obstruction of an FBI investigation of Russian interference in our election?

The only sensible criticism of "the left" is that some elements don't prioritize.  Paying off porn stars with fixers should be disturbing--even if he was cheating on his 3rd wife "before he ran for office." But it should take back seat to the appt. of Barr and continuing obstruction of justice.  It is very disturbing that Trump pronounced the FBI director "wrong" in stating that US officials running for office should not field offers of help from foreign governments, but publicly, and repeatedly, dismissing his own intel services assessment of Russian attacks on the US elections in favor of the attacker's own word, is PROFOUNDLY disturbing--or should be if wasn't so funny how upset "leftists" get about the risk to national security.

Publicly backing, and lying for, a head of state who murdered a journalist for a US News organization is simply beyond the pale for an American president, but it is still a level below allowing a "personal advisor" to engineer an embargo of a gulf ally which hosts the largest US base in the region. Our friends on the Right respond to the daily chaos as if it were just stuff "said about" Trump, not what Trump has actually done--and very publicly.

Well, I'm getting a little off topic here.  We are on the brink of war, and that is the subject of this thread. There is no danger Iran can beat our Air Force and Marines. "Leftists" are the only ones who think something could go wrong, but they criticize Trump for everything--even pulling back from an air strike after ordering it in an unnecessary war. 

The war threat will go away if Iran will only sign an agreement not to produce nuclear weapons, LOL. "Leftists" can find a little joy in irony.
