I tend to agree with those who say the idiot's just going to declare victory at some point. Who knows when that point will be since there's no clearly defined goal or objective other than a sort of wish list of things they're trying to use to justify the aggression. Nukes? ICBMs? Proxy groups?

They're asking for astronomical 'Defense' budgets but aren't even caring for veterans who have already been through wars & conflicts - as the idiot in chief wants to cosplay tough guy with OTHER PEOPLE's lives. It's despicable.

So what do we do now? We stay loud.
We keep showing up, keep protecting our neighbors, and keep demanding justice for the lives taken, rights violated, and communities terrorized.

US troops who died in Iran war remembered as devoted parents and soldiers
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor was just days away from returning home to her husband and two children when a drone strike in Kuwait killed her and five others.
Nicole Amor, 39, was an avid gardener who enjoyed making salsa from the peppers and tomatoes in her garden with her son, a senior in high school. She also enjoyed rollerblading and bicycling with her fourth-grade daughter.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

Donald Trump increases the defense budget last year from $874 billion to $1 trillion. He says he wants $1.5 trillion this year. Now he wants $50 billion more for his Iran War. Every Democrat should be screaming about the military budget, not cutting deals to keep raising it.
