The opinion in https://acoup.blog/2026/03/25/miscellanea-the-war-in-iran/ is interesting here.

Read the section titled 'The Gamble' if you want that opinion, but the tl;dr is that our 2025 strike against Iran ceded our ability to claim dis-involvement in Israeli strikes, and so Israel was able to draw us into this war whether we wanted to or not.

It's not the voter. It's the system.

The constitution is old and not democratic.

Russia, Turkey, Phillipines, Belarus, Nicaragua, etc, etc.

Presidential republics are a disaster waiting the right people to break them.

By voting for a party that refuses to promise this?

> Or demand representatives impeach them.

We both know this will do nothing.

Vote for the party least likely to actually start wars. Regardless of their words.

> We both know this will do nothing.

Pardon my imprecise language. I meant impeach, convict, and remove from power.
