    The establishment politicians in DC have been absolutely chomping at the bit for war with Iran ever since Trump reneged on the nuclear deal. This is really dumb because unlike Iraq/Afghanistan, Iran is a big country with a serious military backing it. We would need material allied support in such a conflict, and Biden’s “ironclad” stance on Israel has burned bridges rapidly across the globe. If this is the basis for a new war, I suspect it will cause a massive political rift.

    Back down you old fools. If it goes hot, GenZ will not be signing up to save your asses with boots on the ground.

    For people like me who was only a child when 911 happened this is a lot of the context we missed out on.

    Edit:

    When you’re in the voting booth in November remember, if you don’t want to make the choice the onus is on you to act. I’m not saying by voting; though we could vote our way into a new party if we banded togehter. Which is seemingly unlikely. No, it is up to you to be the change you want to see and stop accepting the the status quo. Otherwise, if there even is another November considering the GOPs intention, the will ballot will look exactly the same in 4 years.
