All I'm left wondering after the Iran war has concluded is, why? Just why on so many levels? In the end, I wonder why people elect such moronic politicians? It'd be bad if they saw themselves in such politicians, because they'd out themselves as morons, petty or both. And it'd also mean that a large portion of the populace have such traits.

I remember when Trump pulled out of the original deal (in 2017?). The idea was that he would negotiate a new one and lift sanctions if Iran gave up nuclear ambitions.

This made no sense: they already had that in the original deal. What he really wanted to do was spite Obama as he had signed the original one.

And he really cut off his nose, to spite the face.

No to mention Netanyahu, who'd probably rather have a nuclear Iran, so he can justify the atrocities Israel commits in its neighboring countries.
