Fisher This is not the group America wants advising Trump after bombing Iran By Anthony L. Fisher We're almost certainly at an inflection point in world history now that the United States has directly struck three Iranian nuclear facilities — officially joining Israel's war, not merely supporting it, and potentially sparking a wider regional conflict. Trump — whose "America First" supporters have long praised him for "not getting America into any new wars" — has now unilaterally struck a sovereign nation without congressional approval. And though a small number of congresspeople are demanding the president seek the advice and consent of Congress, without a major, shocking reset of Republican priorities, Trump may continue making war on his own terms.   Whether you grew up anywhere between the Cold War or the War on Terror, the idea of a hot war with Iran was always understood to be existentially risky. But it's at these moments when expert opinion and rational analysis of data and intelligence are required. We don't appear to have anything approximating that in the Trump administration.   This is a preview of Anthony L. Fisher's latest column. Read the full column here.
