Armageddon was near, it would involve a showdown between Israel and others, and America better be on Israel’s side.

i disagree that the story doesn’t make theological sense bc we haven’t heard Hegseth’s specific crowd make this specific argument. As someone who grew up evangelical, events in the ME routinely seen through this lens. The precise theories were muddled and varied but point was always the same.

Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for "Armageddon," read this The narrative is dramatic. The sourcing is thin. And skepticism matters, especially on something this serious.

My overarching theory of foreign policy is that sociopaths should not have access to weaponry. And if they get access, their use of them is probably gonna be bad.
I call it the Padded Room Doctrine.
