“Has President Trump learned nothing from decades of U.S. meddling in Iran and forever wars in the Middle East? Is he too mentally incapacitated to realize that we had a diplomatic agreement with Iran that was keeping its nuclear program in check, until he ripped it up during his first term?

“For months, I have raised hell about the fact that the American people want lower prices, not more war—especially wars that aren’t authorized by Congress, as required by the Constitution, and don’t have a clear objective. These strikes are a colossal mistake, and I pray they do not cost our sons and daughters in uniform and at embassies throughout the region their lives. The Senate should immediately return to session and vote on my War Powers Resolution to block the use of U.S. forces in hostilities against Iran. Every single Senator needs to go on the record about this dangerous, unnecessary, and idiotic action.”

8. IMO casualties will change the narrative. If our guys had died in Venezuela that would not be seen as a "success"

The top brass at the Pentagon level should not be subject to the whims of a madman.
When this whole charade of another term began with tsf I honestly thought the top generals and admirals would not be subjected to this circus of not business as usual.
Like the time that JD called them all the DC to speak about something off the wall, what the hell was the main subject? It was so insane; honestly it was just another day in this shitshow we have been subjected to...
Instead the orange blob has been terminating military careers.
