Rep. Massie Joined by Dems in Resolution Opposing US Involvement in Iran
Newsmax ^ | 6/18/25 | Newsmax

Posted on 06/18/2025 8:00:16 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., filed a House resolution Tuesday looking to block U.S. involvement in the Middle East conflict between Iran and Israel.

Massie's resolution features numerous Democrat co-sponsors, including progressive legislators like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y.; Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.; and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.

If passed, the resolution would block President Donald Trump from engaging in "unauthorized hostilities" with Iran.

I like Robert Barnes’s idea of getting Massie out of Trump’s congressional voting hair by naming him to replace Brooke Rollins, the unprincipled and dim Big Ag shill at the ag dept.

Massie would do a lot for small farmers—and improving the safety of our food supply.

It’s not the “entering the war” that’s the issue, but rather remaining long after to keep the internal peace and build the nation.

If Trump attacks with the B2 bombers, uses bunkerbusters to destroy the nuclear sites, which in the process just might release radiation that will contaminate a large swarth of this Muslim country, and during these bombings the ayatollah, who in the eyes of many Muslims remains a religous leader and a symbol of their religion dies, Muslims around the world will be incensed, his political base will shatter, the Democrats and the globalists will rejoice and take power. The bidenesque ruination of America will resume and accelerate. Also 3x as many Muslims live in America than were here on 9/11/2001. Most are unassilimated and many will be enraged by these events. Things will become very interesting.

Fervently hope that Trump chooses not to involve the US any more than it already is.

It’s partly because of the skewed older ages on FR, that were brought up in a cold war paradigm of psychological brainwashing that allows the deep state to get them to support any military money laundering operation they want them to support.

Huh wonder if you could say the above if the soviets had taken over Europe and Asia.

They’re not ignoring it, they’re actively supporting those that want to kill us.

The Mullahs and their IRGC stormtroopers ( that verbally and by proxy terror threaten the modern world every day of their existence) have only been jacking the US and the IAEA along on their nuc program for at least 23 years ( Fordow the peaceful enrichment program buried 1,000 ft into a mountain just like every other peaceful nuc project…)

Lets not rush into anything until they actually run a test that proves they got active nucs …then the Squad can vote on what to do

What could go wrong

Everyone has been kicking cans down the road with the cans being kicked ranging from immigration and debt to Iranian nuclear weapons.

I am sick to death of politicians (currently all Dems and people like Rand Paul and Massie) kicking these cans down the road and only giving a crap about the fundraising for the next election cycle.

Trump is at least doing something about it. His actions might not be the best on these issues, but he is trying hard, and I respect that.

<< Trump enters this war, his political base will shatter >>

Depends on the extent of our involvement. Sending in a B2 to MOP up the enrichment site buried at Fordow and maybe a few other ancillary ops, no problem at all.

Pulling a Bush and putting nation-building boots on the ground, big problem. But there’s no chance Trump would do that, so relax.

It does have that Iraq feel all over again doesn’t it? Need one of those transitional gifs that shows Trump morphing into GWB. LOL.

Ahhh, yes: the good ol’ “anyone who disagrees with me is a brainwashed idiot” argument.

Sooo very persuasive.

The War Power of the United States is vested in Congress because war requires the States (Senate) and the People (House) to have any chance of success.

You would think 80 years of failure in multiple undeclared wars would be enough - but it looks like we are going to have to receive the same lesson we should have learned after Korea again.

I am not saying they are idiots. I am saying they grew up in a paradigm that programmed their minds to support almost any military action. I probably would have been impacted the same way if I were from that age.

Frankly, if their nuc threat is eliminated….with or without our bunker busters…..who cares if the angry Iranian people tear their mullahs and fascist stormtroopers apart and the defanged discredited mullahs order the Iranian military to shoot uni students, hungry peasants, and unveiled women

Thats on them.

I think there is a strong calculation that once Israel cleans out the mouth-breathing IRGC and internal security apparatchiks…and their nuc bomba program controlled by the IRGC political loyalists is left smoking…. the regular military will refuse to klll Irans own people and coalesce around new secular leadership

programmed their minds

Ahhh ... so anyone who disagrees with you is incapable of independent thought. Anyone older than you is incapable of independent thought.

I probably would have been impacted

Try to refrain from projecting YOUR intellectual weakness onto others. It's a serious character flaw that you need to fix before presuming to lecture (or psychoanalyze) others.

Nah you would be doing this in 1969, IMO.

When you find yourself standing shoulder to shoulder with craziest nut jobs in the Democratic party maybe you should step back and reflect.
