That’s just not remotely true. The Shawn Ryan’s, Dave Smiths, Tuckers, Rogan’s of the podcast world took Trump at his word that he was a non-interventionist.

It is Trump that has changed positions, not the podcasters.

You are intellectually dishonest to say otherwise.

CCT guys are IMO maybe the most well rounded warriors in our military. You are a bad man, no doubt.

You realize it doesn’t have to be binary (actually, I’m sure you don’t).

Just because you don’t support Trump doing something he campaigned for 10 years on not doing doesn’t mean that you “support” democrats.

To that end, blindly supporting clearly bad ideas because your team chose to do them is the height of partisan stupidity.

Please name one combat initiative of this size and scope the US has participated in within the ME that had worked out well in the long term. I can only think of one snd that was Gulf War 1.

HW Bush, as it turns out, was likely a horrible person, but he was wise in not engaging in a long term war in Iraq. His son was not so smart.

We are deploying 10k troops between 82nd and Marines, Iran is shooting missiles all over, the Iranian government is still intact…but we’ve won?

I’ll take the word for it.

If Kent received these texts as a part of a government investigation and then provided them to a podcaster, then I take back my defense of him relative to being an alleged leaker.

I do think Kent is bright and think he’s a patriot, but if he used his government position to receive and send communications derived solely because of his position in government in view of an investigation, then that’s a big problem and he should face consequences.

I’ll go…

I think Trump expects to enter a ceasefire, have control over preventing nuclear development, have some semblance of control over who runs Iran and how.

I think Israel desires full scale invasion similar to Iran that lasts for a decade and completely nullifies Iran as a cohesive country.

His legacy is tied to whether he can keep Israel on a leash.

A ground war is untenable. This means some form of mediation and agreement.

If he cannot keep Israel from attacking while he’s negotiating, then this will all fall apart…

Israel fully intends on a full scale occupation by the US akin to Iraq, IMO.

Christians are getting murdered all over Africa right now. Are we fighting there for those people.

If you are dumb enough to think this is about protecting Iranian people, then please volunteer to go fight.

It was true for Biden, and it’s true for Trump.
