The general feeling I get is that the MAGA crowd supports the current Iranian war. Seems the rationale is that a world without a Nuclear Iran is better than the alternative. Hard to argue with that.

The question I have is for those that voted for Trump is - was your vote for Trump in part or entirely because he would use military force to attack Iran?

For sake of reference

At Trumps election-night victory speech, he reiterated:
"I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars."

It's not all MAGA. The older folks (35+) support it, but the younger folks oppose it.

Right, it's a "special military operation", kind of like Russia's

I supported going in and destroying their nuclear program and getting out. That could’ve and should’ve been done in a week.

The Iran war is irrelevant to which administration I support. I support Trump because he's not a communist like the democrats.

You would think the "nothing's happening in Europe" retard would somewhat agree.

Does this mean you didn’t vote for him?

Trump has been firm his whole life, shown many times on this board with examples, saying Iran cannot achieve a nuclear weapon. I understand the sentiment of “Iran is two weeks away” however I don’t know what the intel showed. We don’t have boots on the ground and have shown our military capability with little error.

I support the war. I watched what they did to their own citizens in December and January. They are pure psychopaths.

My big issue was when they stopped to negotiate. Completely pointless. We destroyed their infrastructure and military, but we have no answer for pick axe mountain and they'll have nuclear capabilities in the future based out of there.

The only shot at a fix is total economic collapse and the regular military and citizens taking over and that's not likely right now.

I don't know what's going to happen when the country can't feed itself and there's no commerce. It becomes a humanitarian crisis at that point and the IRGC will kill many more.

No it doesn’t mean that. I voted for him and am massively disappointed.
One of the reasons why I liked and supported Trump was his America first message and change from the globalist agenda where wars means feeding the Military Industrial Complex.

He’s disappointed me in that and several other levels too.

Guessing you just didn’t believe him when he said he was going to end wars and not start any new ones

I am EXTREME right wing and always have been. I don't know what qualifies as MAGA. Trump has been much better than GOP presidents after Reagan. But he hasn't destroyed half of govt. which is my starting point for a great president.

You are asking others if they’re maga that is why I asked.

Please elaborate in great detail how this war with Iran has affected you or will affect you personally to make you very disappointed.

An honest answer and appreciated.

I know several people that wanted us to go to war with Iran for the reasons you point out. Some would call them globalists but I don’t think it’s necessarily a fair assessment. It depends. Some just want war anywhere anytime to feed the MIC. Those are globalists.
Some just see Iran as a real problem that needs to be addressed militarily.
To the latter though, I would point out that a North Korea could be seen as a much worse threat…
