President Donald Trump formally notified lawmakers this weekend that the nation is once again at war with Iran, giving his administration another 60-day clock to use the military in the region without congressional approval.

In a letter to Congress dated July 10, obtained by POLITICO, Trump stated that the strikes that began on July 7 represent “military action consistent with my responsibility to protect Americans and United States’ interests both at home and abroad.”

I need the MAGA Neocons to come in here and explain to us how this is actually an America First principal.

If we were really MAGA, we’d just destroy the whole Middle East and colonize it after. You can’t fix that shite.

Considering Zero44's connection to Iran, I'd say anything Trump does to Iran is VERY America First.

Power and desalination plants, we’ve been fairly polite so far.

Most of it doesn’t need fixing. The Middle East is mostly fixed. While you have been practicing cynicism, others have been working to make the middle east a garden spot, and it's about half done. Rich Europeans go to the middle east for vacation, as do a lot of super-rich Americans.

So the new MAGA is now pro war and slashing Veteran benefits. Good to know.

Yeah, Yemen, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon are all beautiful this time of year. We’ve been displacing these people for centuries and they end up ruining other parts of the world. It’s a fricking shite hole.

We depend on Europe for trade. If they go bankrupt, we lose bigly. They need to get more involved, but don’t think that we have any interest in the region.
Iran is causing havoc with bay boats and drones. Imagine if they have a legitimate nuclear threat to hang over the straight.
