  1. They also pulled the old canard about Iran getting “ICBMs” capable of hitting the USA. This one is about 100 times more fanciful than them getting a nuke.

    So, if there was no imminent risk of attack, are you going to support a concurrent resolution under the War Powers Resolution to direct the removal of forces from hostilities?

    Wasn’t Ted Cruz trying to cheerlead invading or attacking Iran less than a year ago? And got shown up on TV by Tucker Carlson of all people?

    They’ve been ‘weeks away’ from a nuclear weapon for the past 20 years, at least.

  5. Trump said they’d already “obliterated” their nuclear capability.

    Either he lied, or he lied. The GOP is ok with it regardless…

    Fuck the GOP

  6. That’s not how propaganda works, Rafael. Remember Iran was very close to getting the bomb *(even though we destroyed their nuclear facilities last year)*. How close was Iran to getting it? No one can say, but they were close

  7. tylermartinatl on

    They’re as close as they were 2 decades ago. Does Iran even have missiles capable of hitting mainland USA yet?

  8. Effervescentgravy on

    Yea, because Iran hasn’t had a nuclear weapons program for more than 20 years.

    At least he sees that this is going to be a political clusterfuck in the fall and he’s going to get on record now. I mean, he’s still a shithead.

    The theory on Vietnam was that you topple the regime and replace them with one that was friendly with America. The theory on Iraq was that you topple the regime and replace them with one friendlier with America. The problem with both was that an overwhelming majority of the population didn’t want leaders more friendly with America. But I would never expect the party of Nixon and W to learn that.

    So there was no imminent threat and the President of the US violated the US Constitution by going to war without Congressional approval. So will you support impeachment Senator?

    “We are at a moment … where in the next six months we could realistically see the regimes in Iran, Venezuela and Cuba all fall and we could see them replaced with governments that want to be friendly with America,” he said.

    ‘Friendly’ is overly optimistic, to put it kindly. Bombs and kidnappings with no planning for what comes after is short-sighted to say the least.

    Cruz has decided to sit on the sidelines until he gets the winds direction.

  14. SeniorFlyingMango on

    So exactly what happened after Bush invaded Afghanistan except he decided to do it to Iran

  15. I’m sure part of it is for a distraction from the Epstein stuff, but I think there’s more than just that. People in Trumps cabinet are war hungry and love displaying what they can do with what they feel is their toy in the US military.

    The other aspect I wonder is if they feel doing what they did in Venezuela and Iran will help get them votes / support from their diasporas.

  16. The video montage of Netanyahu telling audiences that Iran was only weeks or months off nuclear weapons going back **twenty-five years** says a lot. He finally got someone stupid enough (or a strike on Iran sufficiently suited) to take him at his word.

  17. Careful, Ted. If you keep this up, they’ll yank both their funding and their hand from out of your ass in search of another sockpuppet.

  18. Trump really has to slow it all down or he’ll have no reason to cancel the elections later this year.

  19. If Ted Cruz and MTG are the voices of reason in the room you are in a really bad place 

  20. Idk man, I’ve been hearing for at least 20 years that they’re two weeks away.

  21. CrackingToastGromet on

    Uh oh Rafael – you’re going to ruin that SC appointment by Trump with lines like that

  22. InvertedEyechart11 on

    “We need to obliterate the obliterated nuclear enrichment plants in Iran that we obliterated in June 2025′ /s

  23. DogsRcutiePies on

    And just like that Cancun Cruz is no longer being considered as a supreme court justice

  24. Also, according to him, Harris would have been worse because she would have just attempted appeasement. So instead of warmongering, they are painting Harris as too safe/diplomatic now. Also, any dissenters, including in their own base, are objectively wrong and that bombing Iran is the right path no matter what. Also threw in Obama in there because, why not?

    Source: Grandpa had Fox “News” playing, and it’s funny to hear the craziness from time to time (my grandpa is long gone and a major narcissist, so he won’t change)

    Fuck Ted Cruz. He’s a liar and a snake. Even when he says something that *is true*, (like now) he is doing so in furtherance of a dishonest agenda.

    He is scum.
