his dad was a spook trying to open up the middle east market for capital using kuwait getting invaded as an excuse

they probably can but trump is demented and will definitely start firing cruise missiles into iran if they do. its obvious he's trying to provoke them into a full war and actually wants them to do something overt

iran is gonna hit something to do with Saudi oil production because it's probably a softer target and even if it doesn't do any real damage it might spark a panic here in the US

Probably not, but they are definitely in the position to carry out an assassination in foreign countries that us officials regularly visit.

Why are we even in Iraq

The president lied they had WMDs, like how when I walked through a hallway I heard somebody on TV saying "Trump is essentially asking the American public to take his word for it", and all the conservatives asked anyone who dared question "Why do you love Saddam Hussein? Don't you know his sons feed dissidents into shredders feet-first?" Arrested Development even had an episode with a fictitious Saddam Hussein lover, I imagine because they were wanting to update the "literal Communist" political extremist trope to be topical.

edit: but really, keeping Saddam Hussein from excluding the U.S. from Iraqi oil markets. Joe Biden wanted Bush to bring Putin into Iraq by offering him a share of oil revenues.
