War with Iran Would Be Idiotic

The Trump administration is seemingly gearing up for a war on Iran ... Now the Trump regime is ratcheting up tensions some more, in what is pretty clearly a ham-fisted attempt to gin up casus belli for invasion ... More importantly, launching an unprovoked invasion of Iran would be illegal. Wars of aggression are categorically forbidden under the U.N. Charter, which was duly passed by the Senate and is thus constitutionally binding. There is not even any enabling legislation as there was with Iraq in 2002. America also has zero significant international support ... On balance, Iran is acting with remarkable restraint given blatant U.S. provocation, backstabbing, and bullying ... If the United States weren't so powerful it would be seen for what it is - a rogue state and a threat to international peace.
