Iran and Venezuela challenged the petrodollar. Iran wanted to use currencies from Euros or other countries. Venezuela wanted to accept the yuan from China or any other non-US dollar. Venezuela was already doing that. Iran was about to follow. 

But, it's definitely about removing tyrannical regimes, because the governments of US and Israel are kind, loving, and caring nations who love democracy deeply. That's the only reason. What's that? Iran had nukes. You mean like how Iraq had WMDs? 

At least the people there are grateful...until another tyrannical regime takes over. 

Nothing wrong with bombing, as long as the right people get bombed.

It is indeed quite confusing, with a multitude of differing scenarios. To clarify my stance, I voted for the individual who declared "no new wars," as I possess a strong dislike for conflicts. In my youth, I remember the radio broadcasting "breaking alerts," and just recently, while enjoying one of my favorite songs, I heard a report mentioning "breaking alerts: 2 bodies identified" or something similar.

Do you recall those instances in school when two individuals would engage in a fight "after school"? Once that altercation commenced, it became evident whether the so-called "bad ***" was genuinely formidable or merely a talker. I reflect on the war that Trump led us into and I distinctly remember the term "shock and awe." Frankly, "shock and awe" did not yield favorable results, and from what I observe, this current situation is not progressing well either.

Allegedly, China is interfering, and this conflict appears to be evolving into a proxy war, much like the one occurring in Ukraine. The War Theater
I don't like what's playing

Bomb the school, Kill the children, that's a good start.

Exactly. This war with Iran will first be reframed as "just a conflict."  Iran has landed missiles in Israel. Jordon won't tolerate missiles flying over their nation, even if they weren't meant for them. So, they will join America and Israel. Saudi Arabia doesn't want missiles landing in their nation even if they are aimed at American embassies. So, they also will join in soon. And it begins...
