On Monday Marco Rubio said that we cannot allow Iran to have control over the strait of Hormuz, picking and choosing who enters and what currency they use.
There is a very important reason why the administration feels this way: because it would be the greatest military defeat in US history.
We lost in Vietnam and Afghanistan in a sense but never like this. If we leave now with the new status quo being Iran controls the strait then we have transformed a relegated, isolated, sanction crippled nation into a global power.
Leaving now is an admission of a tremendous defeat and it’s also the best possible thing to do.
This is the trap that Trump is now in all because he listened to Netanyahu and launched the insane war of choice.
@BobMurphyEcon The Bible also says that Israel should not trust other nations for military aid. But I guess he forgot to read that part. Isaiah 31:1-3.
@ComicDaveSmith@elonmusk@X Free Dan! The system always tries to silence the voices that cut through the noise.
I bet Dan would love this—it highlights the exact 'Uniparty' grift he fights against every day. Hope to see him back soon. #FreeDan
Senator, while you focus on the regime in Iran, we are funding our own invasion through federal entitlements.
It’s not just 'non-profits'—it is government programs creating the magnet. We are subsidizing the very breach you claim to oppose. You cannot have a welfare state and a secure border. #SCPol #AmericaLast
Listen to what they say But watch who they pay.
@LindseyGrahamSC talks security, but the cash flow tells a different story.
You can't close the border while you're subsidizing the breach. Rhetoric means nothing when you fund socialist incentives. #AmericaLast#SCPol#Uniparty
