    The fact that their is a video clip of Kamala talking about Iran when she was running for Girlboss in Chief leads me to believe the decision was already made a while ago.

      Any such long running state conspiracy to topple Iran militarily (which definitely appears to be real) would at least need a president willing to launch it.

      Between Kamala and Trump, I’m honestly partly convinced that the latter is the only one that is willing to not give the order despite everyone around them baying for blood. Kamala and Biden may not be the kind that post “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!!!” but they’re the kind that would let their advisors convince them of pulling the trigger anyway.

      Ahe reminds me of Obama in a way, that he presented himself as the sensible and charismatic politician to his opponent, who even criticised things like Guantanamo, but in office quietly ramped up any war that his advisors were sure wouldn’t bite them in the ass.
