Who is this even for?
Israel wants to do a war with Iran. Chuck Schumer is motivated by Zionism.
I knew that, but it's just wild to me that of all the things going on in the US and all of the things to criticize Trump over, Schumer and his party decide instigating shit with a country who hasn't done anything to the US would be a productive use of their time and resources.
Don’t you know that the average voter is chomping at the bit to send their kids to die in an invasion of Iran?
The point is to continually saber-rattle so that the 'defense' industry always has justification for funding and therefore will fund his campaign and back him in DC. A quick reminder that the DC subways literally have Raytheon ads in them, you can't even go to a dive bar without running into a lobbyist for defense contractors. Never underestimate the amount of influence they have.
