President Trump has started the illegal and reckless war with Iran without congressional approval. It has proven to be the worst foreign policy disaster in decades. Trump has call it a skirmish as the bodies of our brave service members come home to their families. It is appalling. But rather than admit his mistake and pursue peace, Trump is doubling down on the costly and unnecessary war.
He has violated his own ceasefire deal and resumed bombing with no plan and no end in sight. And now, after ignoring Congress for months and after Congress voted to end this war, Trump has the audacity to ask Congress to pay for his forever war. Are you kidding me” No way! While American families struggle with skyrocketing gasoline prices, electricity bills, healthcare costs, and rising rent, Republicans are seeking a whopping $1.5 trillion for the Pentagon. It is the largest military budget in history. This is insane. It is a blank check for Trump to make an endless war with Iran and other countries. And if Trump refuses to end his war of choice, Congress MUST end it.
The Congress needs to vote against Trump’s war budget. If anything, it needs to be slashed in half and none of it should be used to pay for the war in Iran. Not a dime more.
Sane people choose peace over war, health care over warfare, bread over bombs, and education over annihilation. So what does Trump do. He elects to start a war he can’t finish. He’s using the American made stockpile of bombs in a futile attempt to destroy Iran’s stockpile of weapons. And his Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth wants more money for more weapons so he can continue to annihilate the people of Iran while he kills their helpless citizens. I contend when this war is finally over, or when the Trump regime is out of office, three people have a very good change to get an appointment with the Hague, the International Criminal Court. That would be Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio.
Again, Donald Trump and his war crimes machine should never receive a blank check worth $1.5 trillion for Trump’s endless war. He got the United States into the war, claimed victory and now he can’t get out. SO let’s finally put the people before the Pentagon by slashing Trump’s warmonger budget and ending this disastrous war.
