I still support Iran

The enemy of my enemy is my friend — an alliance that may save the Middle East
The United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia, the keeper of Islam’s Two Holy Cities, are banding together to roll back the tide of Iranian expansionism set loose by Barack Obama, John Kerry and the other American apologists who crafted the ruinous Iranian nuclear deal.
The United States has maintained a robust military presence in the Middle East for a generation. That presence — not only carrier battle groups and special operations forces, but also fixed bases in Turkey, Jordan, Bahrain and Qatar — is being significantly enhanced, and one of the most dramatic signs of that enhancement involves the expansion of an American operating base in Saudi Arabia.
Several hundred US Air Force personnel are already on the ground in Saudi Arabia working on enlarging facilities at Prince Sultan Air Base that will house fighter planes and Patriot missiles. American forces left this facility 15 years ago in the face of tensions caused by radical Islamic forces. The threat of Iranian expansionism and the new, more moderate regime in Riyadh has brought them back.
Sorry, but it was this same deal that got us bombed in 2001.  This whole mess is a Bolton disaser, untold expenses and we will lose anyway.

Israel is not the USA, Israel is an independent state and can protect itself. We have history ignorant buffoons in the Repub party pushing this costly mess, and Trump is quite confused.
