The next time someone tells you that Iran is ahead in the war with the U.S. and Israel, remember these things. Yes, challenges remain, but the points made here are true:
Extending the blockade while also giving Iran more time -- ostensibly because it's dysfunctional -- is a brilliant power move. It makes Trump look magnanimous, makes the Iranian regime look weak, and increases economic pressure. Plus time is on America's side, thanks to the Navy.
Sorry Jonah. I actually sat in the room for the first half of the movie.
For 24 polite years, Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama diplomatically asked NATO members to increase defense spending. For 24 years, it was one excuse after another, all focused in Western Europe on how they wish they could spend more, but their social welfare spending priorities wouldn’t let them. In other words, you the US will spend on defense and protect us.
Along comes rude Donald Trump. Finally, someone made clear that if Europe kept freeloading the US was done. It took a bill in the China shop to move Europe. Diplomacy failed. Trump prevailed. That’s reality whether you or I like it.
NATO self-withered after 75 years. If Spain, England, Italy and France won’t spend what’s necessary to have a real military, it’s time for something new.
🚨NOW: Trump-backed challenger Ed Gallrein GOES OFF on Thomas Massie for siding with Radical Leftists over President Trump FREEING Venezuela from Nicolás Maduro: "That is not leadership, and it is not what the people of this district expect from a Republican."
"Once again, Thomas Massie has shown his true colors. Instead of standing with America’s military and the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect this country, Massie chose to side with Democrats and the Squad—criticizing our armed forces while excusing criminals, tolerating the intolerable, and defending the indefensible. That is not leadership, and it is not what the people of this district expect from a Republican.
"This operation sends a clear message: the United States will not allow rogue regimes to enable criminal networks or use oil and other resources to fuel our global adversaries. Holding bad actors accountable is how we restore law and order, deter aggression, and protect American families.
"It also opens the door to a new chapter for the people of Venezuela—one defined not by decades of oppression, but by the possibility of peace and prosperity. That outcome is owed to the courage of our service members and the professionalism of our inter-agency partners who carried out this mission with precision and resolve."
— Ed Gallrein on X
Seriously though, what happened to Thomas Massie & why is he such an unhinged liberal nowadays?
Kentucky, you have the chance of a lifetime to replace this career politician with an actual America First Patriot, @EdGallrein.
Thomas Massie sides with the they/thems. Ed Gallrein sides with you.
Under Massie’s worldview, if a communist takes power via a coup or rigged election, then American interests must be swept aside. NO THANK YOU. This is embarrassing slop. 👇👇👇
