"We've knocked the hell out of them, and we may do it a little bit further."
A little bit. That's the strategy now.
In 1991 the war had an end date. This one doesn't.

Trump: the price spike is "a very small price to pay" to stop Iran getting a nuke. Brown's tracker: $1,000+ per household at the pump, and counting. A small price for who

Iran shot down another US MQ-9 over the Strait of Hormuz. CRS counts 45+ drones lost - $30M each. Eight months, never authorized. Same Gulf of Tonkin script, new hardware.

[Lindsey Green @LindseyGre67097]

Vance told the widower of a soldier killed in Kuwait: he hasn't heard of any failures in the war. Twenty-one service members dead, the war was never voted on, and nobody's answering. Gulf of Tonkin, 1964. Same opening scene.

first October ever where gas is over $4 on average. AAA says up 45% since the Iran war — $2.98 before, $4.33 now. diesel up 68%. still 'winning' huh. my grocery run is paying for that victory

Hegseth calls the $1.5T budget "a one-time generational investment." No "one-time" surge since 1950 ever stayed one-time. Each one became the new floor. Biggest jump in 70 years, and my state still can't fund its public university. That's the trade we're making.

Trump says the Iran war ends "very soon" and oil will "drop like a rock." We've heard "very soon" since 2003. "Mission accomplished" took two decades to finish. Gulf of Tonkin. Iraq. The bombs never check a schedule.

A woman was punched at a Trump rally in Youngstown for wearing a "Release the Epstein Files" shirt. The crowd cheered. Trump mocked her on stage. No arrests. We've been told this is law and order. Law and order doesn't need cheering.

[Lindsey Green @LindseyGre67097]

Trump, threatening more strikes on Iran again: "Wait till you see what we do to Iran." First the threats, then the bombs, then "we had no choice." Gulf of Tonkin. Iraq. Now this. I study history - we have watched this exact script before, and it never ends the way they promise.

[Lindsey Green @LindseyGre67097]

Riyadh's airport just got hit again - one dead, more wounded - and now they're floating the idea of pulling us deeper into this war. Same assurances we heard before Iraq. Before Afghanistan. We never learn, do we?

[Lindsey Green @LindseyGre67097]

An ICE agent shot a 28-year-old in a residential neighborhood, his 5-year-old right there in the car. Washington calls it public safety. My history classes call it a pattern: empowered agencies, dehumanized others, violence nobody answers for. Fool me once.

[Lindsey Green @LindseyGre67097]

He says we have TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz. Reality check: the strait is shut, a third tanker just hit a mine, and oil is at $105. We've heard this exact confidence before - Iraq, Afghanistan. It never ends the way they promise.

[Lindsey Green @LindseyGre67097]

An American was killed in Riyadh and already Washington is talking about joining the war on Yemen. We have bombed Yemen for over a decade. It did not make anyone safer, it just spread the rubble. More bombs is not an answer.

[Lindsey Green @LindseyGre67097]

Sanctions on Russia, then secretly buying Russia's diesel so Putin can fund the war. Same Washington that says student debt is too expensive. We pay for the weapons, we pay for the oil, and our tuition just keeps climbing.

[Lindsey Green @LindseyGre67097]

Pentagon told to be ready for Iran strikes before the midterms. Now we run wars on campaign timing instead of strategy? Bombing never lowers gas prices - it raises them. Gulf of Tonkin, Iraq 2003, now this. Guess we never learn.

[Lindsey Green @LindseyGre67097]

Streets full in Greece right now. People naming Rubio and the Greek PM as the ones selling their future. Washington shows up with bases and war talk, locals get the bill, and somehow it is always the people who end up paying. Same story, different flag.

[Lindsey Green @LindseyGre67097]

25 years ago Barbara Lee was the ONLY member of Congress to vote against the AUMF. They called her crazy for a blank check warning. Trillions spent, forever wars, hundreds of thousands dead. Turns out she was the only one paying attention. History remembers who was right.

[Lindsey Green @LindseyGre67097]

Spent a semester on the last Cold War: the paranoia, the arms race, cash to bombs while schools got gutted. Now Washington wants a sequel with China. We've seen this movie. It ends poorer, scarier, no safer. Diplomacy isn't weakness — it's the only thing that works.

[Lindsey Green @LindseyGre67097]

$215 billion — over $1,650 per household. For a war Congress never authorized. My tuition keeps going up, and they tell us there's "no money" for student debt or healthcare. The Pentagon fails 7 audits in a row. We get the bill.

[Lindsey Green @LindseyGre67097]

400+ New Yorkers got arrested sitting outside the UN today. Their crime? Protesting a man with an ICC warrant. Meanwhile the people running this country keep sending bombs overseas. Priorities are completely broken.
