Laura is rage-baiting because the war that she and her benefactors advocated for is going terribly.
One of the fundamental reasons the war in Iran is failing is a lack of basic understanding of both the country we started a war with and of the Middle East as a whole.
Loomer displays this lack of understanding/inability to assess the threat environment, and the sad irony here is that because our leaders have listened to rhetoric like hers we’ve now successfully radicalized the Iranians—so not only are we taking our eye off the very legitimate threats still posed by ISIS and Al-Qaeda, we will almost certainly face blowback terrorism as a result of the Iran war here on U.S. soil.
My late wife was killed by an ISIS suicide bomber. At the time of her death, the Iranian-backed Shia militias & the Assad regime were also actively fighting against ISIS. That is a fact.
Iranians have targeted Americans, but only when we intervened in their region. That is not sympathizing with the enemy—that is also, simply, a fact.
In Trump’s first administration, he exercised restraint—conducting a measured and effective retaliatory response via targeted strikes (Solmani), while having the discipline to not take the bait of a full-blown war with Iran, precisely because we knew it would result in the same disastrous outcome we’re dealing with today.
Unfortunately, this time around POTUS opted to listen to the likes of Laura and the Israeli lobby instead of those who actually understand the region & the threat—and now that we are in this mess and public support has cratered, Loomer & her ilk are blindly screaming “Islam!” as a distraction. It’s the same tired Bush-era “with us or with the terrorists” binary that got us twenty years of failure.
The American people deserve better.
If you’re a conservative political commentator or conservative media and you’re calling out how bad affordability is and you’re calling out neocons BUT unwilling to acknowledge and name Republicans in charge right now and unwilling to call out President Trump and his administration who is directly in charge, waging a war driving inflation and gas prices, then you cannot be taken seriously.
And you just recently got brave enough to dip your little toe in the water and say it out loud.
If you’re afraid you won’t get your little influencer invites, occasional reposts, or might get kicked out of the talking point group chats, then you have no credibility and you’re a big part of the problem.
You are no different than the press during Biden/Harris presidency that never questioned or challenged a thing.
You might want to wake up to reality that Trump won’t be in office much longer so you’re kissing up to a lame duck who has completely lost support of America First and the young generations of voters.
Don’t make me name names.
The future is ours.
Trump is the past.
We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise.
But he’s betrayed us all.
Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center.
The movement has begun.
The U.S. has been significantly weakened by the war with Iran.
This administration depleted our missile defenses, drained our oil reserves, sacrificed our men & women, inflated the price of consumer goods, increased our debt, and neglected our domestic needs…
all for Israel.
