For years Trump predicted President Obama would attack Iran to get re-elected. That, and the fact that national security advisor John Bolton has been baying for war with Iran for years, is why former Ohio congressman Bob Ney predicts we’ll be at war with Iran soon.

The notion that Trump, an open admirer of brutal dictators like Putin, Kim Jong-un, Rodrigo Duterte and Mohammad Bin Salman, is the least bit concerned about human rights in Iran would be laughable were it not for the massive Iranian casualties it will cause, the likelihood it will serve as a pretext for further erosion of our democracy in the U.S., and of course, possibly World War III.
