My talk with Republican Neighbor

My neighbor who is Republican but claims she didn’t vote for Trump. Her reason for maybe voting for Trump. “Iran can’t get a nuclear weapon.” I explained to her that Trump is doing nothing to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. All they are doing is hanging out in the Strait of Hormuz and doing nothing about the nuclear material. I told her that the military would have to go “boots on the ground” and would require a huge number of troops to invade Iran which we don’t have and would cause many deaths and that Trump is not going to do that. That we would have to enact the draft.

I could tell that she was mulling this over.. We need to publicize this more. There are people believing that Trump is going to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and that this is all bullshit.

1. By Trumpedo shredding the agreement and attacking Iran all but guarantees that Iran will get a nuke
sooner rather than later, and to top it off, he and Israel have managed to destabilize the ME.

2. The Obama agreement was preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon!
It was Rump who blew up the Obama agreement because he's a racist and couldn't stand a black man getting credit for preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Now we're paying $6/gallon for diesel and $5 and up/gallon for gas because of Rump and no nuclear agreement.

4. And Iran hasn't fought a ground war since when? A really long time
Maybe 35 years. There's tons of healthy, fit men ready and (now) very willing to fight against Trump's invading forces in Iran right now. No one ever points that out, but you gotta have the numbers. They have them. I don't know that we do. Definitely not fresh troops like what they have, that's for sure.
