Iraq War Veteran Ron DeSantis says it was a mistake to try overseas nation building in Iraq but at least it was debated unlike Trump’s War in Iran.
“I served in the Iraq war as a naval officer, and I learned a lot from that experience because, this idea that we were going to create a Western-style democracy in the Middle East, in the heart of an Islamic country, once I spent about 15 minutes on the ground in Fallujah, I knew that was a fool's errand. That was just not going to happen.
And so I, as an elected official, have always been skeptical of foreign adventurism, certainly don't want to do any nation-building or any of that stuff. But having said that, in the lead-up to Iraq, Bush was out on the campaign trail, he went to Congress, there was a public debate, a lot of Democrats voted for it, and it became very unpopular, and obviously there were a lot of issues and problems with it, 100%. But I don't think there was really much of a debate about Iran, it just kind of happened, and then people thought it was going to end after like a week or two, and then it didn't, and then you had this issue with oil, oil supplies, and all these other things that have caused individual Americans, you know, to have pain at the pump.”

Me and Tope Soft finally agree, ❤️❤️
I don’t know how you can claim to be a normal person , want Dems to win the midterms based on how things have been hard under Trump in the last two years and still support Mr Tinubu in Nigeria .
There is nothing normal about any of that .
Many of us who like Trump have been disappointed with his second term and there are numerous post here calling him out on it . That’s basic level principle but many of you are shameless hypocrites !

People like @igboonaija3 will look me dead in the eye and criticize Talarico’s Christianity and allow Ken Paxton to claim he is a Christian 😭😭
James Talarico received *more early votes* then Paxton received in TOTAL
This race was over before it began 😭

The Pope is not even Christian enough for you, but you are out here talking about progressives and feminists.

Last night when Vivek Ramaswamy called Amy Acton to concede the Ohio governors race, he got the Democrat’s voicemail. Acton has not called him back, and the two have not yet spoken.
“And there are no plans to,” said a person in the Acton campaign.

He is still arguing. You have seen Vivek fall off the presidential/national stage, get dumped by Elon in DOGE and now rejected by voters in a State that has had only 3 Democrat governors in half a century, you still dey explain.
😂😂😂
And so ? Who is Ann coulter ? She can never win any election in America. Heck she can’t even win a republican primary and No , the makeup of the electorate in Ohio is not what you are even describing.
It’s a Midwest state . Trump won it 3 times with a specific message and posture that appeal to white working class voters . Vivek should have ran that playbook.

It is people like you I was arguing with in 2024. When you look at it and tell yourself the truth, you will understand why. The answer is staring you in the face
Vivek losing this race is still surprising to me .
Vivek is a brilliant guy whom I think was legit presidential material.
How did he lose in a state Trump won 3 times in the presidntial election and had a Republican Governor the whole time ?
