We’re not currently at war with Iran so this would be a new war. Surprised taking out their general (which I wasn’t opposed to) didn’t spark a bigger conflict in 2020

It would have, but then Iran knocked out a passenger airliner and there were rumors of this new virus spreading in Asia and then Europe which dominated news and government priorities for a couple years.

Ah true, I forgot all of that happened (well not the pandemic, but the passenger airliner)

Kinda wild that incompetence spared us from a war instead of leading to one for a change, huh?
