And so unforced. Originally ran on America first and not getting bogged down in these never ending overseas conflicts. Caused gas prices to go sky high before the midterms. These diesel prices are going to send prices on everything else higher. Just all so dumb.

I think he waited to long to help the people uprising. Gave time for Iran to kill all the leaders and shut them down.

They waited to have 3 carrier groups in the area. Should have started with whatever we had and build up from there.

Destroying their military mite wasn't a bad idea. Just slow them down, which I am sure is what's been done in the shadows forever(stuxnet). The long game was a terrible idea, especially with no exit strategy.

Gas will go down. The Saudi pipeline will be fixed in few days.

Diesel prices are high because we are selling to Europe and Ukraine bombed Russian refineries. Has nothing to do with Iran.

The donors always get what they pay for. They don't give a shite about the voter

I think Israel fed him garbage intel on how strong the opposition was knowing once we were in we couldn’t leave easily and here we are which is exactly where they wanted us.

Sucks is that the rubberband effect from the dems regaining power is going to flood this country with 3rd worlders among other things.

Everyone who criticize this war has TDS. We should do more wars, like taking Canada and Greenland by force and colonize them like Puerto Rico. Once we control Canada's and Greenland's resource, then Trump can pay the $5k dividend checks by taxing the Canadian economy.

Where was our intel? Bush was fed garbage by Rumsfeld and Cheney. Bad intel doesn't get you a pass for generational foreign policy blunders.

Tulsi and multiple generals repeatedly told Trump that Iran would immediately close the strait and he simply didn't listen. He chose to trust the Israelis over our own guys.

Joe Kent said his team was involved in a lot about Midnight Hammer, but then frozen out this year.

He had it, but Bibi had his ear and led him around by the nose.

The media reports may be fake news, but it's consistently been said Caine, Tulsi, and JD were the dissenters/skeptics.
