At that point you have already declared your idiocy - or your subhuman political/religious bent.
Nothing said will enter your limited capacity for understanding unless it favors the intent of the anti-American forces at work in the democrat party in cohort with the jihadist and socialist forces at work in the world.
You need to give up your irrational hatred of Israel - and accept them as probably the most steadfast ally we have in this world since WWII.
Are they perfect?? == hell no.
Are we perfect?????? = HELL NO!!!
We have to pick the least evil options available.
It all depends on your definition of "evil" - you have chosen the side that rapes little girls - beheads anyone who disagrees - treats women like cattle, or goats - believes there will be a bunch of virgins in the hereafter if only they murder a bunch of 'nonbelievers' - Has no capacity for anything but abject surrender to their current mind-set - honors a duty to lie and mislead in any kind of 'peace' negation - has never demonstrated anything but the most evil intent of any nation on earth that has ever existed.
BUT - Netanyahu supports ISRAEL - so he MUST be destroyed.
You are a nice little jihadist.
But - since your loyalty is to the current democrat party, you will accept and degrading belief system as long as it can be used against Trump.
I pity you and your cohorts.

Hurts China who sucks donkey dicks
This is such a dumb take. We are currently expending our stockpiles of anti-air interceptors and missiles for who knows how long, while China sits back and watches. When they choose to take Taiwan, the U.S. will be in a much weaker position as a result of this war with Iran. China is more than happy to watch this war is take place, just as they were with Ukraine and Russia.

More control over global oil supply
This is a long-term future we benefit from only if the regime change is actually successful. If it ends like most of our regime changes have, the country will be too destabilized to function. Continued random acts of terror in the Persian Gulf would absolutely not help our global oil supply.

Iran won't get a nuke
If you want peace in the Middle East, you should be more concerned with the nukes Israel already has.

It depends on how this shakes out for me.
If it’s a month or so military campaign with no US boots on the ground and the Iranian people are able to rebuild their govt and country anew without sponsoring more terrorism? Then I think it’ll be a success
If this is the beginning of a new Iraq war that will cost the US billions, countless loss of military lives, and ultimately destabilizes the region even further? Failure and Trump will have taken the bait of the MIC, neocons, and Israel.
Also, however this situation in Iran ends, it’s time for the US to tell Israel to piss off. We’ve gotten entangled in so much bullshite for them over the past 40 years, and Netanyahu has been singing the same tune for as long as I can remember.
Israel wanted Iran attacked and they got their wish. Now they must own the ramifications.

China and Russia have been dominating the US and comprising its national security and economy.
Military actions in the US hemisphere and abroad are designed to checkmate or stalemate the aforementioned superpowers.
This is an America first campaign with many moving parts.

Degradation of Military Threats: U.S. Central Command reported the destruction of hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles, launchers, and drones, which are viewed as direct threats to U.S. forces and regional stability.
Nuclear Non-Proliferation: A primary objective of the strikes is to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, which the administration argues would pose an existential threat to global security.
Restoration of Deterrence: Decisive military action restores "red lines" and convinces adversaries that there are severe consequences for aggression, potentially preventing future attacks on U.S. assets.
Counter-Terrorism: Strikes aim to "annihilate" the Iranian navy and dismantle its ability to fund, arm, or direct proxy groups (often termed "terrorist armies") that target U.S. allies.
Support for Democratic Change: The U.S. administration has expressed support for the Iranian people to "take over" their government, seeing a potential regime change as a way to end decades of hostility and human rights violations.
Strengthening Alliances: Actions against a shared adversary can lead to stronger regional alignment among Gulf states and Israel against Iranian influence.
Global Influence: Some analysts suggest that demonstrating military power against a key Russian ally applies psychological pressure on other adversaries, like Russia, by reminding them of U.S. combat capabilities.
Ensuring Energy Flow: The U.S. Navy has been directed to escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz to ensure the "free flow of energy to the world," aimed at preventing long-term global energy supply disruptions.
Negotiating Leverage: The administration has used military pressure as a tool to try and force Iran back to the negotiating table with a weakened hand, seeking a deal that more strictly limits its nuclear and missile programs.

So how's this working out so far?
I don't think we clearly thought this through, and now we're seeing the repercussions.
I wouldn't be surprised if the economic repercussions of the war help the Dems in Nov.
