In a rare moment of candor on MS NOW this Tuesday, Senator Mark Warner of Virginia dropped a truth bomb that should leave every American with their jaw dropped.
The Democrat from Virginia didn’t mince words when discussing the current mess in the Middle East and what it means for our nation’s future.
Warner described his recent trips around his state, where he asked regular folks a question about the Iran war.
“I’ve been across Virginia countless times in the last few days. I’ve said, how many of you are willing to put your sons or daughters or grandchildren on the ground in Iran to fight this war? And all of this was knowable. It’s not just — this is not just political. This is like who we are as a nation, who we are as a world leader, and how we have actually made America and our allies weaker in that region, 47 days in, and there is no easy exit for anyone,” Warner said.
“Even if he declares victory tomorrow, the energy crisis — do not take my word, look at anybody, gas, natural gas, jet fuel, fertilizer, aluminum.”
“This will be with us for, not weeks, but months and potentially years. And a president that promised no foreign wars and less prices, it’s why the rest of the country is turning against us.”
Warner didn’t stop there, expressing deep personal dismay at America’s diminished status in his eyes.
“And what you did so brilliantly, and it makes me — just my heart sick, is looking at how we are viewed around the world,” he added.
“We have spent 75 years trying to say, with all our flaws, and God knows we’ve got a lot of flaws, we were the good guys. We don’t have that claim anymore.
While Warner raises real issues about the war in Iran, he conveniently forgets just how evil the Iranian regime is.
For decades, Iran has called for the death of America and its allies.
The United States can’t afford to be involved in an endless entanglement.
But lets not act like Iran is a saint in all of this.
