    The answer for all Non Americans: there was no reason.

    The answer for all Us Americans: because one person has decided it.

      Or because Israel has leverage over the US and it would be very uncomfortable for the US if they did not go to war against Iran with them.

            Sure, I’m just saying that there have been some major bribes like crypto laundering and a fucking jumbo plane, and what are the chances that this is what they bought…

          None of the Gulf states are able to drill for oil, and even if they could they wouldn’t be able to ship it out. Look at a map of where all the middle east oil fields are

      It is very clearly either to distract from them, or it is their contents being used as leverage to control America.

    No reason? Of course there was: distract from Trump being accused in the Trump-Epstein files.

    Lies, lies, lies as innocent people die for USA to play its game! USA is a dead country and anyone failing to see that, has a big problem.

      Make the counter argument. What if the US are competent and know what they are doing? Is that possible?

        US are competent and know what they are doing?

        That was actually true from ~80 years ago to ~50 years ago.

          ~80 years ago they handed their country to the MIC. What could the MIC have done better during the last 50 years?

            Well, if you say it was them, then they would better have done nothing at all, because doing nothing is usually better than destroying everything.

    I wonder at which level of ridiculousness of this US administration that even the complete and utter regards that vote for it will realise that it is damaging their country quite seriously

    Have we reached it yet? Attacking the judiciary? No? Ignoring laws? No? Deporting farm workers? No? Murdering people on the streets? No? A war for no reason, surely that suffices? No? When?
