Violence does not beget peace. [View all]

Let us all understand that an act of war is an act of war, it is not an act of peace.

Whatever the justifications given does not change that fact.

Also, we should note that Donald Trump is sitting atop the worst six months of any presidency in modern memory. He failed with his tariffs. He has armed military in the streets of American cities. He has struck anxiety into the markets. His 'big beautiful bill is on life support. Everything he has touched has turned to crap. When everything is in the crapper, go to war.

Countries that are attacked do not usually rush to the table to talk peace. They seek retaliation and revenge. We should not expect anything differently with this attack upon Iran.
