Surely:

This will make the US safer.

This will make stuff cheaper.

This is a well thought out war.

It will improve the US economoy.

It will not destabilise the region.

This will make life better for Americans.

It will in no way make people hate the USA.

Personally I do have serious concerns about the direction 'the west' is going with the current issues of immigration, violence, and general migration to a lower trust environment...however trying to burn a capital to the ground definitely seems like the wrong approach making it any better.

I think in reality they don't want to make it better...

Great use of tax dollars while the American people face all time cost of living highs among a plethora of many other problems. It’s sickening.

Did you, after all you've seen, think the people currently in power in the USA are capable of making reasonable decisions?

Vote these people out please.

I fear that with this people in power we are past that already. We'll see soon, I suppose. Trump and his goons will not leave power through elections.

Problem is, it's not being paid with tax dollars. The USA spent 10 trillion on wars over the last decades and none of it was paid with tax dollars.

It is all borrowed or printed. And the wars wouldn't have happened without them having those options, because Americans don't even want this.

Price of a nation disagreeing from turning its people into lowly peasants of the Global Liberal Borg (TM)'s and not accepting its "assigned" role of satrap-y. In contrast, look at the ignominious history in India (-n subcontinent) over the past millennia - whose moron elites are so deluded that they end up selling even more Anglo-American colonization in the name of decolonization. Fascinating evolution of these two…

Tell me: is the US supposed to stand idly by while the Iranian regime develops nuclear weapons? They pursue nuclear weapons of their own volition, by the way. There are paranuclear states and nuclear threshold states which have not pursued nuclear weapons and have delivered on providing for their people in every manner in which a human society needs. So what does Iran hope to achieve that diplomacy cannot?

At what point does it turn from a "disagreement" to a credible existential threat that an adversary cannot ignore?
