We are currently in a war with Iran, yet we’re considering lifting sanctions so they can sell us their oil. We’re effectively funding the very regime we’re trying to stop. Between the Strait of Hormuz being held hostage and the loss of critical resources like helium and fertilizer, the "plan" is falling apart.Here's five reason's why Trump's Iran war is stupid.
