War by Any Other Name

**Submission Statement:** We are not at war with Iran. We are performing a special military operation. American soldiers are not in harms way, except for when they are. The Strait of Hormuz is open, except for when it is closed, but that’s because we closed it, not Iran. Hormuz will be free for transit, except for when Iran collects tolls. Or Oman. Or the U.S. The war with Iran, which is not really a war, will be over in ~~2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months,~~ *6 months*, but it’s ok because it’s not really a war. Our goals are simple: We will not let Iran strangle Hormuz. Or build a nuclear weapon. Or continue to arm proxies. Or threaten Israel. The ayatollah is dead and we’ve achieved regime change. Tomato-tomato / Khamenei-Khamenei, same difference. Iranians should rise up and overthrow the regime, we will be right there behind them… maybe….probably not. By the way, we need $70 billion more to fund this war that’s not really a war.
