Just because we may or may not agree with military actions against Iran, does not let us fabricate wins.

Tulsi resigned. It had nothing to do with Iran or her relationship with President Trump.

It just is what it is.

Where did I say she resigned because of Iran?
You didn’t. I inferred it. Apologies if I misread your intentions.

Well I didnt mean to.

I legitimately think the reaction is strange because she was outspoken about there being no nuclear threat from Iran among other things... the core reasoning behind our operation there.

Like when John Bolton left in 2019... I was very encouraged.

I trusted her judgement/knowledge of this. I was never in favor of either operation. I hope it comes to a conclusion in the very near future.

How is she leaving because her husband have cancer a win? Tulsi is a very nice person with strong core beliefs. She is also a team player and once a decision is made she gets on board. That’s why there have been no leaks out of her side of the house.

Politically,

I don't think her husband having cancer is a win.

When you approach something with a false premise, you get confused when things don't add up.

This is a great example.

The ODNI’s report stated that Iran was not enriching uranium and Iran was not a threat to the US. She had to go

That MAGA is neocon and anything other than a neocon point of view is unacceptable and therefore would be something MAGA should celebrate.

Why are you pretending that you don't know what your own premise was.

I know what my premise was, and you stated it accurately.

I just don't agree that its false...

Its in the face of starting another Middle East conflict... and lambasting anyone who detracted.

You admit it's false because MAGA isn't meeting your expectations. You are confused to the point of having to ask the question:

The reality is that your premise is false and what you are actually doing with this thread is offering a passive aggressive way of accusing MAGA of being neocon. It's probably related to some sour grapes issue like Massie being defeated.

It is neocon.

I know that, because starting a war with Iran has defined Neoconservative foreign policy for many decades.

I'd bet that the large, large majority would LOVE for the Iranian conflict to come to a quick, successful end.

You are simply confused when people aren't binary thinkers. It frustrates you that Trump hasn't lost 100% support due to an issue that is overall unpopular.
