Lindsey Graham Wants Your Kids to Fight His War

Just about everything involving this illegal war with Iran infuriates me, but maybe nothing more than the fact that the world is being run by old men who will never have to face the consequences of the decisions they’re making.
And if you listen to Trump or Lindsey Graham or Bibi Netanyahu and the rest of the people who seem absolutely thirsty for this conflict—one that’s getting people killed, destabilizing the global economy, and scaring the shit out of basically everyone—they sound completely disconnected from the reality of how people are actually living their lives right now.
I want to focus on Lindsey Graham for a second, because yesterday he said a couple of things that I genuinely cannot believe a United States senator said out loud.
First, he went on Fox News and said that he stands with Israel and not with the rest of us. That’s a pretty shocking thing to hear from a United States senator from South Carolina—not Tel Aviv. Watching a U.S. senator put another country ahead of his own is deeply disturbing, especially when this conflict with Iran is very clearly not in the best interest of the American people. If it were, they’d be able to make a clear argument for it.
Second, Graham said he’s going to go home to South Carolina, look his constituents in the eye, and tell them they should be willing to send their sons and daughters to Iran to fight this war.
Every Republican elected official in this country should be asked whether they agree with Lindsey Graham—that our sons and daughters should be sent overseas to fight yet another illegal forever war in the Middle East.
A war that will mostly benefit a handful of aging politicians still stuck in foreign policy frameworks from decades ago, while defense contractors and oil companies cash in and the rest of us get left behind to pick up the pieces.
And somehow, after two decades of disastrous Middle East wars that cost trillions of dollars and thousands of American lives, these people still want to drag us into another one.
Because when it comes to foreign conflicts, the people running this administration are always ready to pull the trigger.
Once again, this country will move heaven and earth for whatever foreign conflict they deem must happen so defense contractors can watch their stock prices go up.
All while American men and women in uniform are put in harm’s way and families back home are trying to figure out how the hell they’re supposed to afford groceries, gas, or their mortgage.
But when it comes to solving problems here at home? Suddenly we can’t do anything.
We can’t fix our infrastructure. We can’t build bridges or roads or move this country forward. According to Republicans, we can’t make sure people don’t go bankrupt when they get sick. We can’t do anything about kids drowning in student loan debt who are desperate just to buy a house, start a family, or build some kind of stability.
We can’t do any of that.
But my God, we can spend billions of dollars a day blowing shit up halfway around the world.
