I’ve said it before. Throw funding and full support to Israel and turn them loose. How do you propose keeping them nuclear free with Russia, China and others willing to provide back door support.

IMO - if we turn Israel loose, Iran will be an oil slick. Civilians will die

If China or Russia wanted Iran to have a Nuke, they would have one.  Putin invaded Ukraine under the Biden Admin, I don't think it is far fetched Russia or China could of slipped a few Nukes to Iran without that administration finding out.......but Both of those countries know Iran can't be trusted......and they are both closer to them than we are.....

We are at a point in this war where we can not win without civilians dying. 
 

Back to the original question. Has this effort been worth the price we’ve paid and still continue to pay? For me, it’s a hard no way. We’ve damaged way more than we’ve accomplished.

I honestly can't answer that because I'm not sure what kind of disaster a nuke would cause if Iran had one. There are only a handful of people that know how close Iran was to a nuke, the rest of the world is speculating. 

I wish prices were lower, but so far it has not stopped me from going places I want or dipping in my savings, and I don't carry balances on my CC's. My Son is doing great. 

Honestly my only big complain is mortgage rates are keeping the used home inventory low.  I want to buy an older home on a couple acres in Hardin County....

I personally have no real financial struggles either but is it worth the many hundreds of billions it’s costing our citizens and country and the global turmoil and the loss of military lives? It’s a hard no.

A lot of focus and effort towards nuclear when our biggest terror threat resides here on American soil.
