Say, Iran...would be a very hard sell given the last 16 years and the fact the R's sold the US population on Iraq based on cherry-picked data,

Everyone on the left, many independents, and a small (and I think growing) percentage on the moderate right do not trust Orange Voldemort at all and would be very skeptical of any premise for war. I think the Intel communities would push back very hard against OV's administration if they attempted to cherry-pick data to fit some meme, especially after the way Useful Idiot has dissed their analysis of the Russki hacks.
