Trust is broken
I'm sure those of us who pay attention to what our governments are up to, are pretty concerned on the fact that we seem to be attempting to find any excuse we possibly can to fight Iran. As it turns out, the voices who are putting forth questions regarding the "conclusions", are being silenced, taken down by youtube an other mainstream social media altogether.
Mind reading
To me the most frustrating thing of all, is that we know so much, and that our intelligence is so "amazing", that as soon as the attacks happened on those Japanese tankers, we already had the guilty people on our crosshairs. You may ask yourself, as do I. The press conference was ready to go, the script was so well put... That seems suspicious. And yes, there's countless people right now who are not happy with the way this is being sold to us.
I can only say that Secretary Pompeo must be a mindreader, there's no other explanation for his XMEN like powers. Funny thing is though, people are not reacting the way that he wanted, so maybe his powers don't work that good after all.
Fabricating Consent
This is precisely what the current administration is trying to do. They are trying to sell us the idea that we 'mericans, have to go free IRAN from their oppressive government, because... Freedom, of course. I don't buy it, and there's thousands of people who don't either.
They can't sell us the bullshit like they used to, the double edged sword of the information world is that narratives can be disproven very quickly. People are more awake to the lies of our government officials, and they've long had a chance to reestablish trust, but it remains broken.
If we go
It will be for two mains reasons: 1) Distractions from the current political mess we are in and 2) To secure the second term of our current president. I will go on the record and say it, but also because he even agrees with me on the "typical political power play" - You see, a president at war always gets a second term, this seems to be historically accurate.
Don't let our politicians play with the life of our soldiers. When they commence the war drum beating, call them out, let them know you are not buying their bullshit.

We don't need anymore young men and women getting killed because of a bunch stupid out dated minds!
Absolutely agree with you. Normally I am so against conspiracy theories etc but in this case it just appears soooo manufactured and convenient to have any credibility. A few grainy pics of a small boat we are told are Iranian marines....not good enough to destroy a country and put millions at risk. I truly hope this all backfires on them.
Interesting to see most of the US allies being slightly hesitant in their condemnation and not using absolutes in their statements.

They had a video of Iranians REMOVING the mine aswell, Trump and his Saudi buddies are amateurs... Anyone remember the journalist Saudis didn't officially murder?
Every American needs to be very vocal about how they see this as a bullshit and how they'd rather get rid of Trump as a president than go to war no one wants except bad politicians and the weapon manufacturers.

The politics and the army is quite related to each other but sometimes a political parties are using them for their personal correspondence to get things done is not so good .

Sickening. At least this time, like you say, it's less credible. Let's see if they end up doing it anyways.
I find it extremely interesting that the proof of the current manipulation exists on his former tweets.
The pressure must be unbearable.
