It feels like the world is in a mess. The war between Iran and Israel now has the United States military involved, with men and women soldiers headed to the region to carry out military operations, including gathering information (intelligence).<\/p>\n
Depending on who you listen to, the United States is accomplishing its objectives. Others will tell you our President shouldn\u2019t be getting our military involved.<\/p>\n
The U.S. has had concerns over Iran\u2019s nuclear capabilities for many years. There have been hostile actions blamed on Iran for over 45 years, and we now have a President who is saying, enough is enough.<\/p>\n
Iran has been attacking oil tankers trying to leave the region through the Strait of Hormuz, and we\u2019re all paying the price at the pump. Gasoline in Florida is hovering just below $4.00 per gallon.<\/p>\n
Higher gas prices have far-reaching effects on all of us. It costs more to get to work, it costs more to ship goods, and it costs more for anything relying on fuel.<\/p>\n
In my opinion, there\u2019s little doubt Iran couldn\u2019t be trusted to honor agreements when it comes to nuclear weapons, and there\u2019s no doubt that efforts have been made to work with Iran regarding its nuclear weapons. If we can believe what we\u2019re being told year after year, Iran hasn\u2019t abided by the agreements, and something had to be done.<\/p>\n
Since Americans have been told over and over that the wars we\u2019ve been involved in won\u2019t last long, we can only hope this will be the first time that comes true, and our troops will be back home with limited loss of life. We can also hope the results of this war will be beneficial, if any war can be beneficial.<\/p>\n
It feels like, since COVID and the rising cost of living, a break for the average American is less and less likely \u2013 I hope I\u2019m wrong.<\/p>\n
