Here's my take on it:

If Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson, and Marjorie Taylor Greene are all vocally against something, it is because Russia is telling them to be against it. It's not because they give a shit what happens to America.

Presumably, Russia is against us attacking Iran because they like Iran and deal with them. They do significant good things for Russia and are one of the only friends they have left who can get shit done on their behalf.

This doesn't mean I think the US attacking Iran is a good thing. Just that it seems pretty likely to happen, and it's going to fuck things up for everyone, including the US, Russia, Iran, and Israel.

If Russia then decides to turn the very significant wing of the GOP that is Russian-corrupted against Trump, so that he's actually out on his own and has to succeed politically on his own merits or be destroyed, that may be a little bit of a silver lining to this whole catastrophe.

I'm really interested to start to see all of the mil-parents and mil-spouses respond to this.

North Korea sent soldiers to proxy for Russia to fight Ukraine.

Trump must want to copycat North Korea and send US Americans into Iran to proxy for Israel.

I knew a guy who was military and pro-Trump, and he was super happy about Trump 1 getting into office because the US would finally be strong on the world stage and knock some sense into places like North Korea unlike that pussy Barack Obama. He and his fiancee both wound up having to go back overseas almost immediately. I don't know how related it was, Trump getting into office and starting to fuck things up for the military people versus him having to go abroad again which he didn't want to do, but that's what happened.
