Well said.
The votes that will decide these midterms are going to turn on gas prices, and ensuring that there are no more flag-draped coffins coming home from a conflict that we have supposedly “won” about 25 times already.
We have probably already taken more casualties and suffered more damage to our Middle East bases than the official story being told.
Pain at the pump and grocery store, along with the feeling of being back in another “forever Middle East war” draining blood and treasure when we were promised America First, will mean more than talk of hypothetical WMD’s that Iran has been “2 weeks away” from having for 40 years.
The neocon and Israel First arguments aren’t going to fly if this keeps going into the fall.
I’m not ready to have congressional Bolsheviks in power, more dead American troops, and a wrecked economy as the price to pay for trying to continue to reopen a strait that was not previously closed prior to March and attempts to eliminate WMD’s that don’t exist.
Iran is not some isolated small patch of flat open desert governed by goat humpers whose main arsenal of weapons are IED’s and idiots wearing suicide vests.
To take out a large, mountainous regional power that has resources and tech capability will need us to either mobilize for real war with all the monetary and blood sacrifices involved, or use tactical nukes and risk the ultimate Black Swan event.
For those who say “they have been fighting us for 47 years”, are you really ready to go full WW2 footing or risk a global great depression to fully wipe them out at this point?
The Mullahs suck but so does $10/gallon gas, Middle East quagmires, Commmunists in Congress, and flag-draped American coffins.
Iran actually having nuclear weapons, functional and deliverable, would be worse than what could be imagined about all out war against them.
