A Truly Pointless War

An end to the Iran war would be welcome news. It remains to be seen if the framework announced earlier this week will bring this senseless, illegal war to a close. This administration likes to start wars, but I have no confidence that it knows how to conclude them.

The U.S. and Israel caused massive death and destruction without justification, and they achieved nothing. This war had a devastating effect on the global economy, and it resulted in extensive damage to the entire region. Like the pointless bombing of Yemen last year, this war wreaked havoc and killed thousands of people until the president got bored with it.
