The whole WWlll thing and Trump critics perplex me. It's like America has amnesia. In Barack's 2nd term the US had military operations in 7 countries. In addition to dropping tens of millions of pounds of bombs in several of those countries.
I feel as if government and corporations couple with a few ally nations and prioritize an imperial agenda no matter what. And that will always come first over domestic well being.
Allies? What allies? Trump has single handedly jerked them all around, pissed on them, and strong armed them. AND ON THE WHOLE IRAN DEAL TO BEGIN WITH!

Who wins here without WWIII? Iran becomes tighter with Iraq. Russia becomes tighter with Iran. How far is Trump willing to go and what’s the objective? Where’s the exit strategy?

The Iranians were behind bombing oilfields, attacking tankers, killing hundreds of Americans and untold thousands of others. We not only have allies in the region, but they are thankful someone finally took the bastard out. Appeasement and cash on unmarked planes in the night get you nowhere.

Who are the happy allies? It’s not Germany, Great Britain, France, or any other NATO member.
Who are these allies in the region who are happy to see Iran and Iraq pushed closer together?

The Sunnis are very glad that it happened. And get up to speed. Taking out Hussein put Iraq in Shia control. They're already friendly with the Iranian Shia. The bombing took place at the Baghdad airport after all.

The Sunnis are glad that Iran and Iraq (with Russian backing) are now closer aligned?

The Sunnis are very much fearful of Iran's influence and growing dominance in the region. It's a given that Iran already has significant influence over Iraq. Iran and Saudi Arabia are not only mortal enemies but fear of Iran has allied the Saudis with Israel. Yes, there are elements in Saudi Arabia that hate the U.S. and Israel but their government fears the Iranians more.

This has done nothing to reduce Iran’s influence in the region. That’s the point. If anything, it increases Iran’s strength in the region.
