John Bolton's moustache and John McCain in Hell are having orgasms over the idea of starting a war between Iran and Saudi Arabia with the hopes of dragging the US into the fray so young, working class Americans can die unnecessarily in another pointless foreign war.
Right now Trump has said he does not want to go to war with Iran, and with good reason. After two decades of fighting the US military is depleted. Trillions of dollars and thousands of lives have been spent on nation building or winning hearts and minds for nothing. Yes, Trump has diverted a lot of money to rebuild the military, but there's just no way a war with Iran could possibly end well.
Any attack on Iran will escalate to a larger regional war, disrupting the world oil trade and lead to a recession, maybe even a depression, which will kill any hope Trump has of re-election. Even a small-scale war will inevitably lead to the US becoming entangled in another counter-insurgency lasting decades. On top of that, Iran is friends with Russia and China. The possibility of a war with Iran turning into a Third World War is very high. Needless to say, any war with Russia or China would involve nuclear weapons, resulting in hundreds of millions of deaths.
There is no good outcome for war with Iran.
So far all of Trump's military actions have been posturing. He's bombed abandoned airstrips in Syria, and launched cruise missiles to the middle of nowhere to placate the chickenhawks in Washington all the while trying, desperately I think, to keep the US out of another pointless foreign war. Any sane individual can only pray that he takes no further actions against Iran beyond the sanctions.

Glenn Beck Back Again
Never-Trumper Glennard Beck has wiped the Cheeto dust off his face and has returned to his senses.
Glenn Beck has always supported his magic underwear cult, and anyone who dares to run against his fellow travelers he despises. Beck spent years mocking Trump, and cozied up to extreme far leftist communists on TV to try to save his sinking ship of a media empire.
Remember, Beck started out as a leftist and moved to the right (or "libertarian" as he called himself for a time) when he saw it was profitable. He moved from HLN (a CNN sister channel) to Fox, started talking about blond haired, blue eyed Egyptians visiting America 9,000 years ago with the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, and his show started losing advertisers. Beck may or may not have been fired from Fox, started The Blaze, and lost a tremendous amount of money trying to compete against the big boys. Beck said in the 2016 election that Donald Trump was Hitler, and he went on a whirlwind tour to try to gain support by kissing the asses of a bunch of dyed in the wool communist "entertainers". That didn't work and Beck lost even more money.
Now Beck says he's had a change of heart when Trump accomplished what he promised to accomplish in his 2016 campaign. In being the first president to keep his promises (mostly on moving the US embassy in Israel), Beck now supports Trump again.
Hear it for yourself straight from the horse's ass, or mouth, whichever.
