  • Trumps not wrong for once.

    He’s definitely wrong morally, constitutionally, and strategically just not legally, per how the courts have (mis)interpreted the constitution.

    Sanctions haven’t been working

    Well, in order to work, they’d have to have a coherent objective.

    They did work at bringing Iran to the negotiating table, which led to Obama’s Iran deal. The only problem being that Obama made it, so Trump had to hate it. The only thing the US actually wants from Iran is for it to be an enemy the president can bomb to look tough.

    it should be effective at stopping their program.

    The program that we have no evidence actually existed, that is. Certainly, if they weren’t actively persuing one before, they’d be mad not to now. How else could they stop the frequent, random unprovoked aggression from the US?















  • There are some libertarian types who might put up a token objection to medding in foreign conflicts. However, Trump equivocated on foreign policy while Biden and Harris were fully gung ho about getting involved in every conflict everywhere, which allowed Trump to sell himself as more “moderate” on foreign policy (though in reality he’s also a hawk).

    The core of Trump’s base has no problem with it, of course, but they’re always going to vote for him and not every voter Trump replied on to win fits that stereotype.
