Americans Don’t See the Point to This War

Aaron Blake: “The war with Iran is now about two weeks old. And we’re getting a lot of polling data on how Americans feel about the most significant new US military conflict in two decades.”

“It’s still a confusing picture, though — and one that could break either for or against the Trump administration.”

“But at least for now, pessimism and uncertainty about the benefits of this war still seem to be the prevailing takeaway. Perhaps most strikingly, Americans seem to think this war makes us less safe.”
