The worst of it, this was not the American war at the beginning, it has been Netanyaho's dream.
Sell that plane…
Last June DJT said: "It was my great honor to Destroy All Nuclear facilities & capability", so our troops are being sacrificed and we’re spending >$1 trillion to dig up the deeply buried Iranian uranium. DJT now confirms his first assessment: “Only China and us have the equipment to even get, the whole mountain collapsed on it, we have cameras on it. You could make the case, why do you even bothering with it cuz it’s not really valuable. It’s you know, it’s probably only a half million dollars’ worth”, DJT at G7. The nukes were the only possible threat to the US so why are we fighting this illegal war?
Both the House and Senate voted to impose their Constitutional and War Powers Act authority, demanding cessation of hostilities against Iran. The Act also requires a concurrence with an act of war within 60 days but our Orange Mussolini thinks compliance with our Constitution and statutes are merely suggestions instead of his mandated duty that he swore to uphold at his inauguration. I guess you can lie to the Chief Justice with impunity.
So much for no more endless wars. Right, MAGA? If another president had done this, you'd be calling for impeachment. But when it's Trump, the story suddenly becomes, This war is different.
Woe to you hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.
