Iran. Trump will be the First Casualty of War

US strikes on Iran are not supported by the vast majority of Americans, according to a breaking news poll.

Most respondents believe the drugged-on war President Donald Trump, who is too willing to use military force.

Only one in four Americans approves of the US military campaign against Iran. This information was indicated by a Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Monday.

Political Assassinations

Massive US-Israeli strikes on Iran began on Saturday, assassinating Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior officials, along with hundreds of civilians.

Tehran has responded with airstrikes on Israel and the Gulf states hosting US military bases.

America’s Last War?

The weekend poll surveyed roughly 1,300 US adults. Only about 27% approved of the strikes. Meanwhile, 43% disapproved, and 29% were unsure.

Moreover, 56% of Americans say US President Donald Trump is too willing to use military force. This group includes one in four Republicans. This is under the pretext of advancing US interests. He struck Venezuela, Syria, and Nigeria in recent months.

US troops are goose-stepping into body bags

55% of Republicans approved of the strikes. However, 42% said they would be less likely to back the Iran campaign if US troops are killed or injured.

The poll closed before the Pentagon confirmed late on Sunday that three US servicemen had been killed and several wounded. In fact, so far, hundreds of US service personnel have been killed and injured since Saturday, 28 February.

All for Israel, US targets costing billions to American taxpayers have been turned into scrap.

Oil Spillover

Fuel price fears also weighed. Forty-five per cent said they would be less likely to support the campaign if gas or oil prices rise. In truth, oil prices are soaring whilst Russia is reaping vast profits.

Global oil prices jumped by up to 13% on Monday. This happened due to concerns over tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. This narrow waterway between Iran and Oman carries about 20% of global oil and gas supplies.

Internationally condemned

The international community of nations, except Israel, is unsupportive of Donald Trump’s war psychosis.

Reaction to the campaign on Capitol Hill has been split. Republican senators largely backed Trump’s decision. War hawk Lindsey Graham praised him for ‘setting in motion the end of evil and darkness’ in the Middle East.

Most Democrats accused the president of bypassing Congress. They believed he was drawing our country into yet another foreign war, as Adam Schiff put it.

Illegal, premeditated and unconstitutional

Bernie Sanders called the strikes an illegal, premeditated and unconstitutional war that violates international law. Tim Kaine labeled them a colossal mistake.

He says he would force a vote this week on a war powers resolution. This is intended to curb Trump’s ability to use force against Iran without congressional approval.

This is a president who ran for election on ending wars. Yet, he has deployed the military in multiple locations without congressional authorization.

How many nations are in Washington’s crosshairs?

And where next? We don’t know. He said this on Sunday. He added that even a failed vote would pressure the White House. It might make them shift course or release more details in advance.

Earlier reports claimed Secretary of State Marco Rubio notified only the ‘Gang of Eight’. This is a small bipartisan group of congressional leaders. He informed them hours before the operation began.
