Da Fuq! None of the states in the middle east are proxies for Russia or China? Bombing Iran or Syria won’t lead to a great conflagration?

Dude, what the fuck.

1. For China, no. China’s relations with Iran and Syria are strictly business. Russia has a patron relationship with Syria but not with Iran.

2. We’re already bombing Syria, just not the parts that Bashar Assad’s forces control. And once again, no one is saying we should bomb those places.

3. While agitation over Iran continues, no one of stature is advocating military action at this time. Sanctions, yes. Saying the nuclear agreement was a bad idea, also. But no one in prominent is claiming we should just start bombing, and not even Louis Gohmert thinks we should invade Iran.

Republicans do not want World War III.
