We asked 1,000 Americans if they support U.S. strikes on Iran WP

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/interactive/2025/iran-strike-us-involvement-poll/

What do Americans think about the possibility of launching U.S. airstrikes against Iran, which President Donald Trump threatened this week unless the country dismantles its nuclear program? The Washington Post texted more than 1,000 people on Wednesday to ask.

The poll finds Americans opposing U.S. airstrikes against Iran by a 20 percentage-point margin — 45 percent to 25 percent — At this time, would you support or oppose the U.S. military launching airstrikes against Iran over its nuclear program with a sizable 30 percent saying they are unsure.

I added OTHER to the choices offered by the WP.

And if our pols are complicit in supporting this attack, get ready to pay for it at the polls for some time to come.

because if it wouldn't benefit Bezos financially, the WP wouldn't report it.

It's all a fucking Monopoly game, and we're the little silver pieces.

Nothing will change! The racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT...will change unless and until we make racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy UNPROFITABLE to the corporations, businesses and individuals that fund and enable it.

It's time for a General Strike.

So similar to Putin's unprovoked attack on Ukraine.
