Ahem are you sure I wasn’t right about iran [1]

I recently wrote a story saying that maybe trump was right and the Iran bombing was a good move. I asserted that Iran didn’t really have the means to retaliate. And that degrading irans potential nuclear weapons capability wasn’t such a bad idea.
tonight there are stories about a cease fire deal. Iran has done little or nothing in the way of retaliating. Stock market up. The world seems to have gone on.
And as far as congress and the powers of the presidency, let’s be honest. This is the way the us has operated from Kennedy to Nixon to bush, Obama, Biden… I mean you can complain about it but it is just they way it has been under both democrats and republicans.
as far as the rule of law, that one country shouldn’t invade another, im unsure. I mean honestly what does this mean? Not much. And everyone universally hates irans government, including its own citizens. What fearsome action did China or Russia take? Zero.
so anyways I’m looking forward to everyone who wrote about how awful I was, how I’m on the wrong site, how I have the knowledge of a 2nd grader, to perhaps reconsider.
well I don’t care that much.
but I think it is necessary to realize that the Middle East power dynamic is changing. We used to think of Iran as a regional superpower and that is clearly no longer the case. Israel is the regional superpower. They have eaten Iran for lunch.
