Whoopi Goldberg Criticizes Trump’s War In Iran

In late February, Donald Trump launched war on Iran, launching missiles in collaboration with Israel. Yesterday, Whoopi Goldberg and the other co-hosts of The View were debating the merits of the war, with all in agreement that it’s a disastrous choice from President Trump.

“Basically, we are sending people in to lose their lives,” Whoopi explained. “Because we have seen how fighting goes. We knew we shouldn’t have gone into Afghanistan. We knew that, and they decided to do it anyway. So now we are in the same position where someone who doesn’t seem to care that human beings are being sent to war and people’s sons and daughters. His kids aren’t going.”

“So I don’t want anybody’s son and daughter to go,” she continued. “I don’t want anybody to go because this is not what we should be doing.”

Across social media platforms, many users reacted with shock to Goldberg’s claims. “These women on @TheView get dumber every day,” one person wrote on X. “Whoopi what exactly do u think our military does??? People sign up for the military fully knowing day 1 they could be called to help defend our country. They don’t get up every day to train & shoot guns for fun.”

“Stick to acting!” another person tweeted.

“Whoopi is a lunatic!” a third user agreed.

“Can anybody tell me what qualifications Whoopi Goldberg has to make this prediction about the Invasion of Iran?” the next person asked. “Was she in a SEAL Team? Did she work in military intelligence? Why should Trump and Hegseth listen to her? Why did anybody report on it?”
