Should this turn out that Americans are killed due to Trump's madness, God help us.

Iran was once the massive and powerful Persian Empire. This is no small country. They have a history that goes back to Darius in the Ancient world.

Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. ... {T}he war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. {It} is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory...but to keep the very structure of society intact.”

― George Orwell, "1984" (1949)
