Invading Iran had nothing to do with the middle east, but was just a convenient way to make America war weary.
Trump talks about going after Iran, then Cuba, and rattles his saber a bunch. While this is happening, Russia passes a law saying it can invade other countries (Why not just do it?). By the time Russia actually invades Europe, we are supposed to be sick of high-priced wars and can be sold the "It's not our war" schtick that will fly much better if we are mired down in prolonged conflicts elsewhere. We will have also been hearing about Russian war plans for ages and will just be sick of having to think about it by then, so will be more likely to stay out of it.( like with "But what about the emails?")
