I have such mixed feelings about this. I do think that Iran is a threat, and has been for a long time. So is every dictator—a dictator anywhere is a threat to peace everywhere. So, for decades the west has had the moral authority to undermine and do everything possible to eliminate dictatorships. Iran and Russia have been the biggest underminers of peace around the world. To the degree this stops the two of them working together as they have been would likely be a good thing. Morally, we should have supported Ukraine much more strongly, and allowed them to do much more damage to Russia, who has always been a threat not only to all of their neighbours, their people, but also to the world. They have always been a bad actor. So, I do not see this as being a good thing for Russia. It might actually be good for Ukraine, which would be ironic, to say the least. Also, as far as the Middle East being against the US in attacking Iran, I do not believe that will be the case for one major reason. NONE of them trust Iran, and none of them would want the Mullahs to have the ability to threaten them with nuclear weapons, which the Iranians would do. Their goal has been to rule as much of the world as possible. So, I agree with JVL that there is a 30% chance this will actually do good. I'd give it a higher chance, but there is no reason at all to trust this moronic administration with no genuine competency, and equally there is no reason to trust Netanyahu, another evil man. And, I'm dubious that the US has actually accomplished what trump claims, because he always lies, I'd say he prefers to lie, in fact.
