Tulsi Gabbard, one of the minor candidates from the 20-strong field of Democrat presidential hopefuls, has been getting a considerable amount of attention due to Hillary Clintons deranged allegations that she is a Russian asset.
While it is true that Kremlin-backed web sites have published numerous articles about Gabbard, no sober person really believes she is a Russian asset. In my opinion the Russians like her because of her positions on U.S. national security, which, if they ever became policy, would essentially open great opportunities for Vladimir Putin to assert Russian influence in the world at Americas expense.
What warrants much more scrutiny are Gabbards bizarre, dangerous views on Iran. Her public statements on Iran almost amount to shilling for the Ayatollahs. She clearly admires Iran and she takes a blame America first position on relations between Iran and the U.S.

No, but she does oppose the war machine.
So does Bernie Sanders I thought.
Typo on my mobile phone. WOULD NOT VOTE FOR HER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE
I think “commie” is probably too strong - does she oppose all private property? She just strikes me as your typical leftist, but somewhat more honest than the rest.
Oh!
Well that's a little bit different.
Gabbard is a Sanders Democrat who has a few ideas which diverge from the “progressive” canon. When it comes to Iran it isn’t admiration or approval, it’s wise assessment we don’t need to get in any wars in the ME and play the part of Israel’s Gurkhas.
If he can open a jar of pickles on live TV, then he is in just as good shape as Hillary in 2016, right?/s
Really your going to worship her despite her supporting a “medicare of all” Nationalized Health care System?
We must stand up against big pharma and insurance companies who extort those who are sick, who put their profits above the health of our people. We must fight to ensure that every American gets the quality healthcare they need, through Medicare for All.

So you have no problem with the rest of her Neo Facist agenda of Big Government control of everything just as long as she pushed your emotional button on this single issue?
She is the Church of Satan in the guise of an angel
If she is pro-Iran, then she is for the 12th Imam and the total extinction of the human race as we all will be brought to Paradise by the Little Guy from the Well.
No, i don’t like her, but she is standing up to the warmongers.
Granted. She is doing that and smacking the Clintons. You have to admire her for both those things
Dem or swamp dem, no matter. Gabbard is a hard-left prog who backs slavery reparations, destruction of the American way of life in favor of global warming, bans on semi-automatic weapons, and communized health care. Do not be fooled.
Tulsi took out Kamala. Biden is busy taking himself out. Cory Booker is feckless personified. Beto and Buttigieg are boutique candidates who have their (deranged) supporters, but have no broad appeal. Bernie had a goddamn heart attack! Andrew Yang is a one-trick pony. Gillibrand has already woke up an smelled the coffee. Amy Klobachar? The needle aint moving..
...and that leaves Elizabeth Warren. Now, all someone would have to do is torpedo Ma Squaw, and well, the road to the nomination might just open up for a certain cabbage and urine smelling ex firstladysenatorsecretaryof state. And there is plenty of time for that...

FromThe FreeBeacon:
"Bill Clinton's long-time mistress Dolly Kyle candidly spoke about her relationship with the former president, revealing his sex-addiction as well as Hillary's temper and "shocking" body odor, the Daily Mail reported Wednesday.
Kyle, 68, had a decades-long affair with Bill Clinton before and during his marriage to Hillary."
As I remember the story Kyle was picking Bill up in a car, Hillary got in and the place STUNK.
lol
This is in large part because there's no draft. Most of these folks screaming for war have no skin in the game. JMHO
Our team? We don't have a team. We have a collection of brave individuals trying to build one. Romney, Kasick, Jeb, Collins, Murkowski, etc ad nauseum are the worst of the enemy....they've infiltrated what should be our team and they hate us and our values. JMHO
Does expressing your opposition to 'war with Iran' make you pro-Iran?
Good article. I think Gabbard also has a history of being opposed to Israel, which of course is why David Duke just endorsed her.
From Gabbard's webpage...seems pretty clear eyed to me.
The history of the United States relationship with Iran is rooted in, and defined by, a decades-long policy of regime change, which began with the CIA-led overthrow of democratically-elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadeq in 1953 in order to keep U.S.-backed Mohammad Reza Shah in power. This ultimately sparked the 1979 Islamic Revolution which grew from strong opposition to years of U.S. interventionist policies in Iran and throughout the region. As Irans new anti-U.S. government took power, our threats of intervention grew and Iran started its nuclear program as a direct response to defend against the possibility of another U.S.-led intervention and regime change plot.
