“Iran is a…threat to the Western way of life…” I have absolutely no theory of mind for a person who could say a thing so absurd. You’d think Xerxes was marching on Athens. Can someone, anyone, please steel man the thesis that Iran will destroy the Western world unless Pete Hegseth stops them? People would immediately recognize it as the raving of a paranoid lunatic if it wasn’t being repeated on television by men in suits. So ridiculous.

People should be able to take the L. I supported the war. I trusted the plan and thought (still do) that Iran is an unacceptable threat to the Western way of life. I still trust President Trump's clear belief that it was necessary at the time to do something like it to prevent a nuclear Iran, which seems to have been accomplished, at least for now. But it's also clear that it's been a political disaster, that it's the main cause of the Midterms defeat, and that it should be wound down so that we can save America from Islamo-communism.
