Why would you think Kamala wouldn't have started a war with Iran, or would/could have run it significantly better. (different perhaps, but better?) We don't know of course.

Remember Trump's first term he was the only president in memory to not send troops for something. If war was your only consideration you could be justified in thinking Trump's proven track record made him the best choice in 2024. We of course know how that turned out, which is a lesson few will learn for next time they put their trust in a president.

    Why would anyone have started a war with Iran?

    • Negotiations were in place for nuclear disarmament, that nobody was projecting failure on.
    • Hormuz was always a known entity to the intelligence communities.
    • Israel has long needed to be told to get back in its box.

    Syria fell, Hezbollah in Lebanon was weakened. This openned air corridor to Iran from Israel. Biden was very supportive to Israel during Gaza. Its hard to imagine Iran operation would not get some support as well. Messaging would probably be about human/women rights so it would be easier for the publicc to swallow.

    And...? That would've changed with Harris how?

    Iran was already fighting a proxy war with Israel. We can debate the best response, but don't claim the war is new. I too opposed this action because bad as Iran is, war is still evil.

    @bluGill @FoxtrotDeltaTango Also I don't know where you get your news, but might want to try something different. Trump didn't send troops anywhere? Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, etc... He also broke his promise to end Afghanistan despite surrendering to the Taliban. You would have to be a special kind of stupid to believe anything that guys says or that he wasn't going to start any wars.

    Yeah, okay. Among the candidates in 2024 who were formerly a president, he was the least warlike! However, this is counter-balanced by the fact that, among the candidates in 2024 were formerly a president, he was also the most warlike!

    I personally don't believe Kamala would have started a war with Iran as the intelligence community wouldn't have recommended it. Were a war started, at the very least it would have included the support of allies.
