@BrettErickson28 We’ve all fallen into the habit of simplifying complex events, narratives, and realities. Even our Secretary of State is not immune to it.

Marco Rubio on Iran:

5 years from now, everyone would be saying, I can't believe they allowed Iran behind a conventional shield to build and develop a nuclear weapons program, and now you have North Korea in the Middle East.

That's what we were on the verge of. That's what Trump has prevented.

@infolibnews Merging the U.S. military with Israel’s sounds strategic only if you ignore the map and skip the history.
Once you know both, “endless war” sounds almost optimistic.
Washington is being asked to sign America up for an eternal regional conflict.

@FoxNews Apparently, steering U.S. foreign policy and campaigning in our elections like a domestic interest group wasn’t enough.

Now Israel’s advocates have promoted themselves to America’s pastors and parenting coaches, complete with an approved list of children’s entertainers.

@mtgreenee @brianglenntv If Republicans ignore their voters and dismiss dissenters as antisemites or RINOs, they will create a public that no longer believes voting can change anything.

Foreign wars remain the GOP’s greatest weakness, and have cost conservatives two decades of reform at home.

@joekent16jan19 The tragedy of the neocon approach is that it turns American power into a calculation on paper. Lives, deployments, and resources become costs to be managed, yet the country still ends up carrying the debt when reality refuses to follow the plan.

We’ve seen this movie before.

@dbongino 🛑All true. That’s why we voted for Trump in 2024. But none of it means we should stop worrying about where this war leads.

2003 should be warning enough: a Republican administration started a war that became a disaster, and helped put Barack Hussein Obama in the White House.

@NEWSMAX The danger is not just political violence. It is the rise of the powerless ballot: when people begin to believe voting no longer changes outcomes, politics stops being a competition over ideas and becomes a struggle for survival.

🌗 Iran offered a seven-day plan to reopen Hormuz. Trump reportedly rejected it and may resume bombing after the midterms.
🌓 Seven months in, this war is still multiplying obligations faster than leverage. But sure, one more round should do it.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump just MIC DROPPED Iran's proposal to "reopen the Strait of Hormuz" in exchange for peace talks

"I'm REJECTING their deal! They want to open the Strait because THEY'RE LOSING."

"Massive amounts of oil are now coming out...THEY OUTSMARTED THEMSELVES. They said, 'let's close it and cause a problem for the world.' And then I CAME ALONG!" 🔥

"And we put up the greatest blockade ever in military history. It's a wall of steel. And we'll put it up. And guess what? They don't have any MONEY now because they wanted to close the Strait. And I said, that's fine. We're going to close it on YOU."

CHECK MATE!!

This comes after 40 MILLION barrels of oil came out across 2 days, and Trump knows.

IRAN knows. They have massive inflation, no money and basically no oil exports...the blockade is working and their leverage is GONE, if they ever had any.

The blockade is one of the largest successes in history! 🇺🇸

🛑 Greenland shows what “peace through strength” is supposed to produce: pressure converted into a defined political outcome.

🎯 Seven months into the Iran war, Washington still hasn’t answered the harder question, what condition actually ends it?

@BrettErickson28 I think it’s been more than 30 years now that international conferences have been booking Netanyahu for the same talk: “Iran is two weeks away from a nuclear bomb.”

[Travis Lynch @iamTravisLynch]

@FoxNews How exactly did you codify the war with Iran in this legislation?

[Travis Lynch @iamTravisLynch]

@polanskydj He talks like someone asked about his ex and he just doesn’t want to revisit those toxic days. Bro, you were one of al-Qaeda’s top guys. You were out there killing people—you remember that, right?

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The Neocons, Globalists, and Corporate Cronies want libertarians, moderates, common sense Americans, and conservatives back in the tent… after throwing us out.

[Travis Lynch @iamTravisLynch]

@RepThomasMassie Ted Cruz has probably lost track of how many times he’s played the innocent, wronged victim to win votes. But they only try to unite people against Democrats and the Left when it’s election time. Once they’re in power, it’s all about Israel and its agenda.

[Travis Lynch @iamTravisLynch]

@EricLDaugh Honestly, this may be the most candid Trump speech I’ve heard. If midterms were driving policy, the Iran war and the dead ends that followed would've forced a retreat. The deeper mistake was thinking Iran could become another Venezuela. We’re living with that bet now.

[Travis Lynch @iamTravisLynch]

@RealAlexJones Is this the war Trump promised he’d end in just a few days? Or was he talking about Gaza—maybe Iran?

Either way, it looks like they’ve borrowed a page from the playbook for a war with Iran: target its infrastructure to force its surrender, pushing it toward a point of no return.
