The people who are “swamp” are not Paul and probably not Lee. The swamp would be the establishment people who can’t give any straight answers about “imminent attack” (didn’t we hear that before with Iraq), who are intent on stopping President Trump’s campaign pledge of withdrawal, who want all the globalist organizations Trump opposed to survive. These are the same neocons who want us to stay in Syria, a place we have no right to be (and the BS “failed state” argument some used here in the past is no longer valid, is it?)
What on Earth does NATO have to do with the Middle East??
The same swamp people could also order a hit on a US citizen and use the same patriotism argument to defend their decision.
*We* will be a failed state is we don’t stop running trillion dollar deficits.
“What on Earth does NATO have to do with the Middle East??”
Germany (if not other members of NATO is doing an oil / gas deal with Russia.
Most of NATO does not stand with us in demanding Iran never have nuclear weapons. Many of them (Germany and France at least) trade with Iran.
Some in NATO get their oil through the Gulf that Iran is trying to control.
We are a part of NATO.
It’s all tied together.
