Not a lot, but I don't like this.
Stay out of other countries.
Stop sending money to other countries.
Focus on America.

It’s only 500 which really isn’t a lot. But it adds more depth to the already 3500 we have in UAE. If Iran’s going to keep being aggressive we need to increase our footprint to better respond.

Why should we keep pressure on Iran?
12
Are you not paying attention to the recent news?
-5
But why is it the business of the US?
10
Letting a major shipping lane fall would have global economic issues.
Letting Iran push towards a nuclear bomb when they threaten us and allies threatens regional stability.
I do not understand NS defending Iran’s actions. Is it because Obama struck a deal with them and Trump tore it up?

Because the United States is the leader of the post-WW2 liberal international order.

What in particular are you upset about that Iran has done?

> What in particular are you upset about that Iran has done?
Sponsoring terrorism across the globe, perusing a nuclear bomb, threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz, and attacking our allies

No we don't.

Makes sense with the escalating tensions with Iran.
-3
Why? What responsibility does the US have in the region?
5
The US has a personal interest in the Strait of Hormuz being open, don't we? $15/gallon gas doesn't sound good for anyone.
3
Sure, but we can say we have an 'Interest' in EVERYTHING to justify sending our military. Why isn't the Saudi, Iraqi, Qatari, UAE, Kuwaiti Navy in charge of its freedom?
2
Is a Sunni-Shia war in the Middle East good for the US?

Dude, its 500 troops. Such a minor issue.

I understand wanting to stay out of the region, but they are breaking the stockpile limit thus working towards a nuke which would threaten our allies in the region. Their antics in the straight threaten to destabilize the global oil market which also threatens our allies. America has found it self as the protector of every one of its allies and we have to respect that title. If people lose faith in America then we loss our global standing and trade power.
-1
We're they breaking the stockpile limits before or after the US broke the deal?
3
They are breaking the limits now, after the US left the deal, but Iran and the Europeans agreed to remain in the deal. I don't particularly care about the deal, frankly it is ridiculous to think that Iran should get a deal for delaying their nuclear program. How many other countries should we sign deals with so they delay their nuclear weapons program by 10 years?
1
The deal you are referring to was basically paying Iran to build nukes. Trump was right about this one, the Iran deal was absolutely crap. Obama was never known for his foreign policy.

Why? This just escalates things more.
1
So? Iran is a pinprick comparatively. If they want to anger the United States fine, but you should expect retaliation.
1
I don't want to do anything that could lead us into a war with Iran.
6
They are the ones doing stuff America is retaliating. If we don’t then stronger people than Iran might feel emboldened to try to attack American assets.

I agree that it's probably necessary and give Trump credit that it's a pretty proportional response. Setting aside the launch then cancel of a strike, I'm pretty happy with his response so far.
I'm curious what you think about war. Specifically, if it meant we needed to return to a draft like in Vietnam, would you support war with Iran?
0
What is your issue with the cancellation of a strike?
0
He didn't get an authorization to use military force by Congress.
?
2
But he didn't do the strike?
I could see not liking the decision if he did it, but he didn't.
-1
I don't like it.
How come?
I don't want to escalate tensions, especially because it could lead to a war with Iran.
