Trump will ask Congress for $50B to fund the Iran war. While this will likely be just a down payment, if Trump is serious about short-term pain for long-term gain, he should ask for $50B in other spending cuts or tax hikes to pay for it. The debt is a greater threat than Iran.

So has Peter Schiff been living on a desert island the last 40 years when it comes to this clown and debt, or is he just being a disingenuous idiot?

Sounds like good old fashioned wishcasting to me. I mean, I totally agree with the idea, but I know it's not going to happen.
 
Fresh details emerging from Israel’s overnight operation: According to N12 News, the strike effectively dismantled much of the Basij command tier. The top commander, his deputy, and around 10 senior officers were all ELIMINATED. The group had gathered at a tent compound near Shiraz, apparently believing it was concealed. Israeli intelligence identified the location, and the Air Force carried out a precise strike, leaving no survivors at the site.

The Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joseph Kent, just resigned and his letter is devastating.
He says Trump was “deceived” into war with Iran, pushed by misinformation and outside pressure, abandoning his own America First principles.
And he says Iran never posed any imminent threat to America. Read the entire letter below.

funny how the taco toddler’s awful actions are never his own fault
 
I don’t understand why we can’t retask A-10s to patrol and shoot down the Shahed drones. If small arms fire can bring them down , I would think the A10s would be very effective , especially with the “swarm” of drones . They are highly maneuverable, faster than the drones and shahed have no defensive capabilities, so pose little threat.

I'd have to see if I can find the tweet, but I think I saw that we're sending them over.

ETA: found it:

According to SkyNews, killing Ali Larijani makes Israel/ US less safe. I don’t follow the logic, but that’s being reported. I watch BBC/SkyNews/Al Jazeera/NewsNation/CNN to get a broad range of reporting. And some comedy, the hostile encounter between John Bolton and the NewsAnchor on AlJazeera can only be described as Comedy gold as both ignored the others previous comments and made inflammatory comments . It was like watching an SNL skit. But back to the point, I don’t see how that is a bad thing toward the war effort.

This is how you do it.

Top counterterrorism official Kent resigns over Trump’s Iran war, says Iran posed no imminent threat​

Hat tip to former Green Beret Joe Kent for putting his money where his mouth is and following his principles, even though losing his job.

I don’t necessarily agree with you. You may not like the start of the war, but at this point it is extremely important to win the war and counterterrorism will be a huge part of defending the U.S. homeland.
 
BTW, Zelensky linked the two wars in his speech to British parliament saying Russia and Iran are brothers in hatred.

Maybe, but my point is trhat if you disagree with the policy so much that you cannot support it, then you resign and say why.
A very rare degree of character in Mos Eisley today.

It is long past time for “let me resign politely and hope he doesn’t make fun of me.” Tell the whole world, “This moron was told A through F and did it anyway.”

He also sounds like a raging anti-Semite. Even if you line up with “Israel got him to do this” (l agree), his blaming Israel for XYZ plus and absolving the chowder head who plunged us into war is some amusing propaganda.

“I told you not to do this, you did it anyway, and I’ll not have my service besmirched as this generation’s McNamara or Rumsfeld” would have driven home the same message.

At this point, I'm just following the reports of what's happening, not what the nitwit journalists think it means / will mean.

Most of them know about as much about this as anyone here, which isn't much...
