There is no analysis, just egging Trump to start a war. No mention that America has pissed all over the poor people of Iran for scores of years dating back to us overthrowing their democratically elected leader Mohamed Mossadegh in 1953 and installing our puppet, the brutal tyrant Shah Mohamed Reza Pahlavi.

No mention that we shot down their civilian aircraft over the Persian gulf killing hundreds of Iranian civilians. No mention that we backed our strongman Saddam Hussein in the Iran-Iraq war, a war which resulted in a million deaths. Heck they don't even mention that Trump ripped up a treaty that they spent years negotiating with the US and our allies, for no good reason other than Obama signed it.

Im dreading hearing the voice of Barbara Starr (gag me), and others offering no analysis of why this is a terrible terrible idea.

It's enough to make me sick.
