Senator Tim Kaine Criticizes Trump's Unilateral Strike on Iran

Published | Video Starts at 02:02

When you're bombing another nation, ask them if they think it's war. They do. Would we think it was war if Iran bombed a U.S. nuclear facility? Of course we would. And The U.S. you know, we've invaded two neighbors of Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq to topple their regimes since 2000. Those were wars. This is the US jumping into a war of choice at Donald Trump's urging, without any compelling national security interest. (02:02–02:12)
