She claimed that the US would have the most lethal force in the world. The only way you get and maintain that lethality is continual practice. You have to continuously fight wars if you want to stay the most lethal military in the world. This is one of the biggest reasons the US is so militaristic. People aren’t in the military for all that long. 4-8 years is typical. If you don’t fight wars all the time, you quickly lose your advantage. There’s no way to have the most lethal military without using it regularly.
So, if Kamala wasn’t talking about attacking Iran, who was she talking about? Who else was she intending to bomb in order to maintain US military lethality?
How far do you think she would have gotten if she said “we need like a C- tier fighting force?”
Literally every president in my lifetime, and basically since we had a standing army, has talked about how strong our military should be.
Considering that almost none of them (with one very notable exception) started a war with Iran, equating a strong military with a desire to attack Iran seems far-fetched.
Yeah, you’re not really selling it. Multi-national military action against the Houthis after they attacked civilian ships (in response to Israel attacking Gaza) is not the same as an elective war started by two dictators with no goals or obectives at all. If those two very different events are indistinguishable to you, then we have nothing to talk about further.

I’ve heard this line before.

Why would a US attack on Iran under Kamala be farfetched?

Trump didn’t start this war. He ramped it up, but he’s fighting the same proxy war with Iran that Biden was.

Because they’re all shitbags.
