Now we're hearing calls from MAGA country to expand US military action in the Middle East as a result of the Hamas invasion.
Victor Davis Hanson-a Trump supporter and one of the most fanatical pushers of the failed US war in Iraq-demanded on Saturday that the US regime "Undertake a 1973-like massive arms lift of key munitions to Israel" and should "Warn Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and others in the Middle East not to intervene or else." To include that "Or else," of course, is to commit the US to yet another series of wars.
"United Against Nuclear Iran," a group led by former US Senator Joseph Lieberman, calls for full-blown war against Iran, stating "We call on our government in Washington, together with Israel, and our allies around the world to launch strikes against military and intelligence targets in Iran, including Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps sites, and missile and drone bases."
Israel has one of the best-trained, best-armed militaries in the world-much of it paid for by US tax dollars.
The US has no plans to leave the region, and it is absurd to claim-as Pence does-that the United States has somehow "Withdrawn." The US recently renewed a commitment to provide Israel with military aid-totaling more than forty billion over the next five years.
The US has been in some state of conflict with Iran since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
If the safety, security, and property of Americans were actually a priority of American policymakers, Washington would be working to make Mike Pence's worst nightmare come true: getting the US out of the Middle East.
