Exactly. This idiotic strategy will only unite Syria, Iraq and Turkey with Iran.
Hopefully Trump will find a way to get out of Syria.
If we really wanted to limit Iranian influence in the region, we need to do the opposite of what we have been doing since 2003.
Everything that had been done by the neocons and globalists has empowered Iran. Now the neocons and globalists are pushing some huge apocalyptic war in the Middle East to “stop Iran” after years of their policies making Iran powerful and giving Iran allies.
Reality check: Most people will choose Iran over al-Qadea or even Saudi Arabia. You don’t want to set that up as the choice for people. You isolate Iran by reducing Sunni terrorism and instability in the region. Then other countries and factions don’t need Iranian help to fight those things. Once that’s has been achieved, countries like Iraq and Syria and can be peeled away from Iranian influence.
If this war neocons are cooking up breaks out, most right wing people under 60 will take Iran’s side openly. That’s true of both American and Europe.
Saddam Hussain was a real deal to contain Iran.
