I pray you’re wrong, but I’m also afraid that J.D. Vance has obtained “Peace in our Time.”

Your analogy won’t hold up over time.

Iran isn’t going to be invading & conquering neighboring countries anytime soon. Which leaves their sponsorship of terrorism & attempts at getting nuclear weapons as the primary problems for people ‘worried’ about the “Iran problem.”

This will require a change in our current foreign policy.

It took him 17 minutes to post it. Kind of slow on the uptake but I made my post #1 for the kinds of people who have a cut and paste response all ready to go in seconds. Almost like they were a bot of some kind.
