You’ve described precisely “how” we’re likely to go to war with Iran but not “why” against which I think we should take greater precaution. In this vitriolic environment and with this egocentric administration I suspect we should be most alert to a “Wag the Dog” cause for war, which will be basically to salvage the trump administration from a Democrat victory. As the 2020 campaigns proceed and trump and his courtiers come to realize the strength of his Democratic opponents they’ll increasingly “wrap themselves in the flag” claiming they are the protectors of the nation and their opponents are traitors.
