Folks, CALM DOWN, this is still in the workshopping phase ok? First we bomb them, then we workshop WHY we bombed them, do you not understand the plan!?
Democrats, predictably, were apoplectic. “There was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians,” said Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, who had received classified briefings from Rubio. “There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States, then we are in uncharted territory.”

Well, if we were to equate the threat of icebergs to an imminent threat to our ship, then we would be in uncharted territory! - a well dressed crew member with an officer’s hat calmly explains to a passenger.
Hypothetically, if a world leader were to ask for advice on such a grave matter, the most responsible and ethical response would be to emphasize the following principles:
1. Diplomacy First
Military action should always be a last resort. Exhaust all diplomatic channels, negotiations, and international cooperation to address conflicts and protect national and global security.
2. Humanitarian and Ethical Considerations
Any decision involving military force must weigh the potential human cost—both for civilians and military personnel—and adhere to international laws, including the principles of proportionality and distinction.
3. Legal and International Obligations
The use of force is governed by international law, including the UN Charter, which permits military action only in self-defense or with Security Council authorization. Unilateral military action without just cause or legal basis risks destabilizing regions and violating international norms.
4. Strategic Consequences
Military action can have far-reaching, unintended consequences, including escalation, regional instability, and long-term geopolitical repercussions. A thorough analysis of risks, benefits, and alternatives is essential.
5. Consultation and Consensus
Engage with allies, international organizations, and domestic stakeholders to ensure any action is justified, proportional, and supported by a broad coalition.
6. Focus on Long-Term Solutions
Address root causes of conflict through economic, political, and social means to achieve sustainable peace and security.
7. Transparency and Accountability
Leaders must be accountable to their citizens and the international community, ensuring that any action is transparent, justified, and aligned with democratic values.
In any real-world scenario, such decisions require input from military, intelligence, legal, and humanitarian experts, as well as public and congressional oversight.

Hypothetical Conclusion
Even under an “America First” doctrine, bombing Iran would likely be considered only if:
Final Thought: “America First” does not mean acting recklessly—it means prioritizing U.S. security, prosperity, and sovereignty. Military force is a tool, not a strategy, and its use must be calculated to avoid unintended consequences that could ultimately harm America’s standing and safety.
