I've already said plenty of times why its a bad idea.
I'll offer a response which I declined previously.
And.... are you insane? iran shitting bricks? Iran is 4 times larger than iraq, has over twice its population, far more complicated terrain AND they also happen to have a real military (unlike iraq). Iraq was an unmitigated disaster and a stain on US history... But going to war with iran would dwarf that in every regard. As for trump not sending soldiers there.... I assume you mean the US can just do drone strikes and whatnot. But... to do that the US would still need allies over there to do the fighting. Now, I certainly don't know too much about the situation there but it doesn't seem likely that trump will find someone to do that for him after what he did to the kurds. I mean, you'd have to be pretty damn stupid to trust the US at all after that. So IF there is a war the US will almost certainly have to send soldiers over there. With no expectation of help from most allied countries at that since this would end up being a consequence of trump backing out of the iran deal. Which almost every non US country on earth regards as catastrophically stupid.
The 2nd war with iraq was initially labeled an overwhelming success.
Where things went wrong was the US deciding to occupy iraq rather than withdrawing or utilizing an exit strategy.
The US has allies in the region like israel who have a high probability of participating due to their own self interests being aligned.
Democrats never called for war with russia. That is just false...
After the alleged russian collusion. Democrats labeled russian meddling in US elections an act of war. They criticized Trump as being too "soft" on Putin for utilizing diplomacy.
The warfare accusations fit into a larger narrative that casts President Trump as weak on Russia

What normally happens after one country commits an act of war against another? War?
When did democrats propose war with iran? At least on the obama end that was never an option (only trump LIED about obama being willing to do this for political gain)... As for isis, it did get strength during obama's years but its decline also started during obama's years. The bulk of victories the US had over isis during the first two years of trump's presidency were over stuff that started over the obama years.
As for that third paragraph.... everything in it is absurd. If there was a war out there worth fighting (which at the moment I would argue is exclusively ISIS and nothing else) it shouldn't matter who is president. And I can't stress enough that it is simply factually incorrect that democrats wanted a war with iran or russia. Dunno about people who would support a war with either under trump but not under other presidents. i've never heard of such people but the very notion sounds outright moronic.
If I remember right. There was a situation years ago where iran purportedly hacked US drone communications and flew one of america's advanced protoype drones onto the ayatollah's front lawn. Recovering it intact so that iran could reverse engineer and replicate its hardware. Sometime after this occurred there was a media call for the US to declare war on iran. I don't remember 100% if democrats were involved but I think a few were. Americans were not fond of the idea knowing full well that the US military was very capable of increasing the deficit by many trillions without producing any tangible positive gains to society or civilization at large.
This is the type of event which normally occurs when democrats have a President in office. Weapons, hardware and billions of dollars are mysteriously lost and find their way into the hands of mexican drug cartels and terrorist groups. This is a big part of the reason why ISIS grew so large and powerful when Obama was President. Large sums of money, military grade weapons and equipment all disappeared from US military depots and mysterious found their way into the hands of groups like ISIS while the US military turned a blind eye to it.
Needless to say things are the complete opposite with Trump running things. ISIS is no longer receiving free aid from the US and its allies and troops are now making a serious effort to hunt and destroy terrorists in ISIS, iran and all over the world. Something that never happened when either Obama or Bush was acting President.
