We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

There's a 100% chance that Trump will send troops to Iran in the next year.

No there's not. Where are you getting this absolute certainty from?

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Trump's relationship with Netanyahu and the relationship between Israel and Iran.

That doesn't necessarily equate to there being a 100% certainty of boots on the ground in Iran though, does it?

The Israeli government pushed for "judicial reform" last year prior to the war with Palestine. People were saying that they were doing it in order to go into Palestine and then the big attack by Hamas happened and gave them an excuse. Tensions with Iran and Israel have escalated when Israel assassinated a Hamas leader in Iran over the summer and Iran responded with missile attacks on Israel. I believe that after Trump takes office there will be something that happens that will be "the last straw." Maybe it will be "WMDs", hiding Hamas leaders, or some big attack by Iran. It's going to happen.

I'm still not sure why you're so certain about this. You're speculating that something might happen and yet you said that there's a "100%" chance of US boots on the ground in Iran.

As awful as Trump is, his first term wasn't nearly as hawkish at that of other republican presidents.
