Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene: My thoughts on bombing Iran ("I'm sick of it", "Enough is enough")

@RepMTG

My thoughts on bombing Iran.

I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran, but I know many people who have been victims of crime committed by criminal illegal aliens or MURDERED by Cartel and Chinese fentanyl/drugs.

Almost everyone in our country can relate to this fact.

However America has not dropped bunker busters on the Cartel’s sophisticated drug tunnels, launched tomahawks on massive cartel poisonous drug operations, or gone to war against the cartels international terrorists networks.

Neocon warmongers beat their drums of war and act like Billy badasses going to war in countries most Americans have never seen and can’t find on a map, but never find the courage to go to war against the actual terrorists who actually do kill Americans, invade our land, and make BILLIONS doing it day after day, year after year.

I’m 51 years old. I’m GenX.

I’ve watched our country go to war in foreign lands for foreign causes on behalf of foreign interests for as long as I can remember. I was in 10th grade when Desert Storm started and my father before me was sent to Vietnam, another senseless foreign war.

America is $37 TRILLION in debt and all of these foreign wars have cost Americans TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS of dollars that never benefited any American.

American troops have been killed and forever torn apart physically and mentally for regime change, foreign wars, and for military industrial base profits.

I’m sick of it.

I can easily say I support nuclear armed Israel’s right to defend themselves and also say at the same time I don’t want to fight or fund nuclear armed Israel’s wars.

Nor any other country for that matter.

I’m sick of funding foreign aid and foreign countries and foreign everything.

I want to fund American interests and issues.

I want GREAT trade deals so American businesses and people can afford goods and be successful.

I want low inflation and low interest rates.

I want American construction, housing, and manufacturing to BOOM.

I want Americans to be rich and have security in their future.

I want my children’s generation to HAVE A GREAT FUTURE!!!

My kids are 22, 25, and 27.

It pisses me off beyond comprehension that my children’s generation can’t afford to buy a house, can’t afford insurance, and have little hope for their future!!!

Americans are exhausted by all of this and rightfully so.

I can also support President Trump and his great administration on many of the great things they are doing while disagreeing on bombing Iran and getting involved in a hot war that Israel started.

That’s not disloyalty. Critical thinking and having my own opinions is the most American thing ever.

Because contrary to what brainwashed Democrat boomers say, Trump is not a king, MAGA is not a cult, and President Trump has surrounded himself with people who once disagreed with him and even ran against him for President.

Also the same Democrats in Congress that are all of sudden clutching their pearls about Trump bombing Iran FULLY SUPPORTED AND VOTED TO FUND Dementia ridden Biden’s proxy war against Russia in Ukraine and stood by Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Hypocrites is all they are and they are just desperately trying to find solid ground to oppose Trump on because so far they’ve failed at grasping anything yet.

Now what has been done is done and Americans now fear Iranian terrorists attacks on our own soil and being dragged into another war by Netanyahu when we weren’t even thinking about any of this a week ago.

We don’t know what the future holds and I pray for the safety of all people and an end to the constant demand for America to go to war.

Enough is enough.

"I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran,..." No, I didn't personally know any of the 241 Marines who were killed in the Iranian attack in Lebanon, but they still matter. As do the thousands killed and wounded by Iranian IEDs in Iraq.

And the list goes on.

I've always liked MJT, but also understand she isn't among our "best and brightest".

Concur,

I remember November 4, 1979, when Iranian students seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran and held 66 American diplomats and citizens hostage. That was an attack on the USA.

Greene should be replaced by someone more faithful.

[PGalt]

HOORAY President Trump!

“ Dragged into a war by Netanyahu?

She could go piss up a rope.”

I must agree with you and a few others. Her mouth often runs wild while her brain is still sleeping. I’ve caught her making remarks that are not historically accurate. Some of them have pissed me off. Today is another example.

I would say she’s our AOC, only a little brighter. She’s not presidential material, if that’s her goal by perpetually running her mouth.

[P.O.E.]

I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran

But I know Americans who were the victims of the poisonous ideology that drives radical Islam.

[central_va]

I was in Lebanon in 83. That statement is hate speech .

Terrific write up???

She and her compadres are giving comfort to the mullahs. Historians say the Vietnam war protests in the United States steeled the resolve of North Vietnam.

Greene is saying that the mullahs with their finger on a nuclear trigger is no problem to her and her kids.

She is truly stupid strategy wise. The die is cast and an unified front by American leaders would jerk the mullahs in line much quicker than proclaiming crap like this.

When and if a “forever war” develops in the Middle East for Americans, then that is the time to complain. It would be alarming if the Biden administration, etc., were in power.

Leadership makes all the difference in the world.

[Billie Bud]

Oh I forgot. The Middle East totally was calm and collected once Joe Biden so methodically and masterfully got us out of Afghanistan.

[DJ MacWoW]

Yeah, thank God we got all those nukes Saddam had pointed at us!/sarc Wise the hell up.

Apparently I'm wiser than most. Iran also has/had an intercontinental ballistic missile program. Think about it.

I'm also aware that Trump is not a war hawk and probably has intel the public knows nothing about.

[Karl Spooner]

MTG, your true leader of MAGA that won the election for flip flob Trump.

[jurroppi1]

“a hot war that Israel started”

She seriously believes this?!!!

[sauropod]

Not up to you or Mama Marjorie.

[metmom]

Fine, go live there and see how you feel.

[MayflowerMadam]

“She seriously believes this?!!!”

It’s scary how many alleged conservatives are jumping on to the antisemitic bandwagon, right?

[metmom]

Who said this was an endless foreign war?

One stealth attack does not an endless war make.

[stockpirate]

She is wrong on so many levels it is beyound stupid.

[metmom]

Exactly.

The thought that the nukes would only be used against Israel is sheer idiocy. They have vowed to destroy us as well as Israel.

A nuke strike on American soil would raise screams about why President Trump didn’t do something earlier from the same crowd that is now damning him for that very action.

[enumerated]

Our side fretting about “Regime Change” is just as stupid as the Democrats fretting about “Climate Change”.

The climate changes and so do regimes - it’s not necessarily a bad thing and it’s not always America’s fault.

The one thing I agree with in MTG’s screed: Why haven’t we used bunker busters on the Mexican cartels’ tunnels and compounds?

[vpintheak]

I can hear the themesong now... du-dum, dum da dum...

[Pontiac]

But we need to bomb the living crap out of them and make them regret their pathetic “death to America” chants

Fine.

Do it the right way. Make a case for War on the floor of Congress.

Get a Declaration of War.

Trump ignored that part. <{P> The power to make war is in the Legislature, not the Executive.

The reason the Framers put the power to go to war in the Legislature was to avoid taking a divided country to war.

In the recent past our cowardly political class has avoided making the decision to make a formal declaration of war and passed Joint Resolutions giving the president war powers (War on Terror).

As a result the United States has been at war constantly with a populace deeply divided about these wars.

Trump should have at least gone to Congress for a Resolution to Commence Hostilities to Contain the Iranian Threat (or some other politically correct name).
