No clear rationale as to why Israel would be nuking anyone in the middle of a Saudi/Iranian conflict, or why Russia would literally sign its own death sentence as a nation for the sake of "avenging" Iran, or why the Middle East would be in "complete chaos" any more than it was during eight years of one of the longest, bloodiest and most intense conflicts since the end of WWII: the Iran-Iraq War.

Why are we even considering starting another war in the Middle East? Why do we even still have troops there?

They're not that small tbqh. 80m population, 17th in area, 27th in GDP. Big enough that a war wouldn't be pretty anyway.

This is what happens when your foreign policy can be summed up with the word "BANG!!!". Dumb assholes love it because it's reassuring, it's something simple they can understand in a world that confuses them because it's full of strange foreigners.

This is an example of Trump solving his own problems. If he never left the Iran nuclear deal he wouldn't even have to consider attacking.

Wrong. Dumbama should have never made that horrible deal, Iran made a fool out of the USA with that garbage.

The US population is roughly a quarter of India's, which I guess makes the United States a "tiny country".

it was part of his plan "trump wasn't gaining any benefit from it" on his end so he decided to shift odds in his favor by leaving the deal.

Compared to India we are by population. We have a lot more land though.

It's Iran starting the war. The USA would use retaliatory strikes on Iran for shooting down $100,000,000+ drones in unprovoked attacks. What other options to they have other than let Iran trample all over them? Then Iran would likely escalate from that point.

It's never been in "complete chaos", but it has had a lot of regional conflicts, and Uncle Sam has put boots in on the ground several times since 1958, even during the Cold War -- when the planet was polarized between two deadlocked superpowers that had their fingers poised over the nuclear button. It never led to World War 3, which is why we're alive.

World War 3 might be an exaggeration, but he still made a good decision. As far as I'm concerned, this was Trump fulfilling a campaign promise. He promised to get us out of pointless wars and that's exactly what he did.
