As always I only support military action anywhere, in any context, if it directly serves the interests of American citizens. It’s troubling that the arguments we’re hearing for this war in Iran, including from Trump himself, seem to revolve primarily around “bringing freedom to the Iranian people.” As Americans, the freedom of Iranians is not our responsibility. If a single American life is lost in the service of that goal, it will be a travesty.
What nobody has even come close to sufficiently explaining is how this war will first and foremost directly benefit American citizens. That is a case that needed to have been made clearly and convincingly before this move, and it wasn’t. We’re also told how this will benefit Israel, and I’m sure it will. But Israel is not America. What does it do for America? How does it help us? That needs to be explained to us. And it isn’t “panicking” or demonstrating “disloyalty” to demand those very basic answers about how American tax money, and potentially American lives, are being spent.
We hear about the danger of a nuclear Iran, but that’s odd because we were told that Iran’s nuclear capabilities had already been set back decades. We hear that this war will be over quickly and easily because Iran is powerless, which I hope and pray is the case, and maybe it will be. But that’s odd, too, because if Iran is such a paper tiger then how were they a danger to us in the first place? It seems hard to argue both that Iran is an existential threat to the United States and that we can topple them in 20 minutes with no casualties or negative downstream effects.
Also the political calculation really matters here. A huge majority of American oppose this. That’s just a fact. If it costs Republicans in 26 and 28, then, no matter how things work out in Iran, it will not have been worth it. A free Iran at the cost of Democrat rule here at home is a bad deal. A free Iran for an unfree America would be just about the worst trade of the century.
I’m praying for our great country today.
Important segment starting at 25 : 39 in Tucker’s video on who is a “Heritage American”, a now necessary term.
A young Anthony Scalia, future Supreme Court justice, upholding Anglo-American law, consciously bristled at his ethnic and religious distinction from the WASPs whom foreign professors assigned a foundational status. But then he went to England and saw it and felt it;
@JDVance I’m all for deportations but being honest no one pays illegal’s $6.50 lol they typically make between $20 and $40 an hour in construction trades.
Now that Venezuela has been liberated we must send every single Venezuelan illegal, refugee, and criminal back home.
Take the oil, remigrate the foreigners.
If they actually introduce 15year car loans it will just increase the cost of cars. Very similar to when they started giving everyone student loans, just increased the cost of university. Price inflation through easy credit.
That steely glare on this kid's face? Pure fury. One punch to drop the harassing migrant—and boom, that's the breaking point for our whole damn country. Sick of the entitlement. Time to ship 'em ALL home! 💥 Enough Is Enough Send Them Back
This was a racist verdict by a racist judge.
The simple test to apply is if the races has been reversed, the White kids would be in prison.
Equal justice for all!
