The year is 2018. Iran isn't the USSR. Most Americans haven't forgotten the Iraq War. Doubt there's a lot of enthusiasm for more military adventurism there. And didn't Trump campaign on disengaging from the Middle East? Did Reagan campaign on not confronting the USSR?

 

President Reagan and “Iran Contra” was a well known deal. 

Perhaps you see that why king of Iran was replace easily under name of revolution. By US, UK and with cooperation of France and Germany and Iran was left in hand of hardliners to do their mission that was war with Iraq.

And you think Iran Contra was a winning campaign issue?

You can interpret it the way you understand, “if” you understand things beyond your understanding level.

I just tried to educate you by some history that were in fact related to what is happening now. 

What I believe is not important and does not matter.

So much "balls" that after Iran shot down the US drone, Trump thanked the Iranians for shooting it down instead of shooting down a plane with Americans in it. Nice piece of a** kissing that was.

But maybe real because as far as I know the score, what shooting passenger planes of each other concerns, is 0-1 for the US ...

Clearly you need reminding of how you characterized those "facts"

 

"History always repeats. Just like what President Reagan did. Dealing with an evil regime to win the election in his own country."

 

Apparently you think Trump's current adventure in the Gulf is going to be a winning issue for him.

I wasn't aware that he campaigned on getting more deeply involved in the Mideast. Didn't seem that standing up to Iran mattered much to him when he drew down the troops in Syria.
