The United States has attacked another country. I doubt anyone is shocked by this. The U.S. has a history of telling the rest of the world how to govern their own countries. The war in Iran is exactly that.
President Donald Trump began bombing Iran June 22, 2025, for the first time. But the United States’ relationship with Iran has been a presidential stronghold since way before this American regime. It goes back seven decades and has often included economic sanctions on the country, according to USA Today.
The truth? I do not believe in war. At all. We should not be sending what is often children to fight a battle that is really between Trump and Netanyahu.
And let us not pretend that this war is not about oil, about resources this regime wants for themselves.
Who gets hurt? Us. We cannot afford health care, to put gas in our cars or to find a place to live. The money from this war could feed a whole community for years. But instead, we are funding a war that takes lives both at home and in Iran.
This regime bombed a school — a school full of children who are now gone. There is no compassion for human life or regard for safety. This is just a power grab.
The United States is usually at war. And that is just the cold, hard truth. War did not start because Donald Trump became president. No, the United States continues to wreak havoc all over the world.
I stand in solidarity with the people of Iran. I also care about our troops here at home who are being sent to fight an unjust war. Did I mention Trump just sent 2,000 U.S. troops to Iran?
That is the thing. War does not hurt those who demand it. No, the casualties of war are tremendous. The soldiers on both sides, those who lose their lives, and people at home are powerless to do anything to stop it.
The U.S. has invaded another country. And I, for one, dissent.
