THE IRAN BOMBING PROTECTS AMERICAN INTERESTS
By: Derek Varsalona
I do not support President Trump's bombing of Iran and its nuclear sites; in my mind, that was an illegal act of war and an impeachable offense. But maybe, just maybe, President Trump is onto something. That something is protecting American interests at home and abroad. It was not even about protecting Israel. It was about protecting the American economy and try to keep American oil prices down by eliminating competition abroad, although less supply abroad might raise oil prices, simply supply and demand side economics shortened.
Over the weekend, President Trump decided to take an illegal act of war against Iran. He did not get the permission from Congress to bomb Iran, and he did not go to Congress either. To me, this is an impeachable offense.
With President Trump striking Iran, which I do not support, there are fears of retaliation. That retaliation is going to come at the hands of American interests in the region, not on the United States homeland, I do not think. But I would not be surprised if Israel is attacked by Ira,n and other American interests are attacked, like taking out an American Embassy. I am not saying I want this to happen, although I would not be surprised if it does happen.
The fear now is that the oil supply will be closed off to the rest of the world. People are afraid that the Straight of Hormuz will close down. That is lethal to the world. In this body of water, 25 % of the world's oil production is released. This is where President Trump comes into play, and his attack on Iran. The United States right now is the leader in oil production around the world. So if President Trump bombs Iran, then this leaves Iran out of the oil game for some time, since they need to rebuild their nuclear facilities. So, the world must rely on American oil partially,y with the rest of the Middle East oil production.
So maybe this was a business decision that I do not agree with. President Trump struck Iran without getting consent from Congress. That is an impeachable offense, and President Trump should be impeached now. As always, comments are accepted.
President Trump should be impeached
