Reuters: Half of American adults expect war with Iran 'within next few years': Reuters/Ipsos poll
Half of all Americans believe that the United States will go to war with Iran “within the next few years,” according to a Reuters/Ipsos public opinion poll released on Tuesday amid increased tensions between the two countries.
While Americans are more concerned about Iran as a security threat to the United States now than they were last year, few would be in favor of a pre-emptive attack on the Iranian military. But if Iran attacked U.S. military forces first, four out of five believed the United States should respond militarily in a full or limited way, the May 17-20 poll showed.
Historically tense relations between Washington and Tehran worsened in May after U.S. President Donald Trump hardened his anti-Iran stance and restored all sanctions on Iranian oil exports following his decision a year ago to pull the United States out of a 2015 international nuclear accord with Tehran.

Most Americans are clueless and dumb about foreign policy.
Why? Because the TV media is dumber and more clueless than their readers.
Yep, totally agree. With Hillary winning the raw majority in 2016, its clear that most leftists do believe believe everything they see on CNN, MSM, etc.... Hence the wide spread ignorance and stupidity.
/I've been expecting war with Iran since 2005.
You've got to have a lot of faith in Trump to resist his Israeli "advisors" on this one issue when he's already given them everything else they've wanted from a US president and then some. He's going to give them their usual one-sided "peace plan" which allows to occupation to continue unopposed for another term (though this one will be uncharacteristically cartoonish in how little Palestine will be offered). He's going to continue the endless war without a goal so that Israel's neighbors linger in stagnation for another half decade. And depending on how much dirt they have on him Trump will give them their war, so long as he believes that will keep whatever secrets he actually does have safe.
Wanna bet that 80% of Americans couldn't point out Iran on the map?
I would of attack a long time ago

Good comment. I'm from Europe. ..to me, the sad thing is:
the left -really believes- that the 'right'/ Republicans are all a bunch of racists. It is so sad that they don't see what they're doing, saying about fellow Americans.
But the Democrats cheered even when Maxine Waters, Hillary Clinton both called for an end to civility and to harass people. .it's unbelievable. The fake hate crime and handling (Smollet was only believe on CNN). The suspension of due process for Kavanaugh hearing. The sexist shouting of "I believe HER" (do they even realise SHE was his senior and he was considerably younger? And no witnesses. And her own friends talked about "her truth", not "the truth"..omg blind to the truth! And the Democrats ruined this man's reputation in front of his young children. Without evidence they talked about gang rape when Avenatti produced the fake victim. .and he's going to 200 years prison now - but CNN gave him airtime more than 50 times and the leftist media together more than 150 times. .he was even Democrat presidential candidate for a brief time. ..they loved him. ..now they have forgotten what they did. .what they allowed to happen to him and his family).
It is so weird what's going on. They don't see what they're doing. They are obsessed, wild , hysterical and absolutely do not respect other people's opinion, yet call themselves inclusive and progressive. Only if you're on their team.
The lies about the boys in the red MAGA caps. How the media portrayed them as the attackers/offenders for several days and then only backtracked after the 500 million USD major lawsuit.
The lies and election meddling that actually happened in 2016. The FISA abuses. How hillary got town hall questions by Donna Brazille (DNC operative and CNN contributor at the time and only got fired when others broke the story and they couldn't keep her)..how they gave Bermie the boot because he's Jewish - think ofthat. Think if a republican did that. the list is ENDLESS.. but they keep watching CNN which is now the lowest ranked news network!!! It's ranking lower in trustworthiness than comedy central which is 24/7 Comics, Cartoons and Fiction...ffs cnn is worse than before Fox news hit rock bottom 15 years ago, but they changed big time. No race card, sex card, class baiting on Fox. They are much more about everyone than the so claimed progressives. Because they don't bend in the wind. They stick with liberal principles, freedoms for everyone (!), a powerful America that projects moral justice beyond its borders. Not some fabricated cultural warfare in which half the country is called racist or sexist. The balls they have. Calling half the country deplorable and rednecks and flyover states etc. All for disagreeing. But they call themselves "liberals" or "social Democrats"..all a disguise.
They have not truly accepted that other people have other opinions and their own facts and research. The indoctrinated mind of the leftist "liberal" thinks he owns facts - yours are fake. You're a racist or denier or backward idiot for believing in other solutions or route causes. It is sickening to watch what's going on in your country.
Well said!
Well said indeed!!
