“This is not a war that we're all bought into. It's a war which is being waged almost honestly directly against the interest of Americans.”
A blunt, contrarian indictment of U.S. foreign policy framing the conflict not as a national-security necessity but as an elite-driven project that harms ordinary citizens.

“What you really see is a desperation on Trump's side to portray the reality of this while giving nothing on the back end. This is Kabuki going on to try and prop up market prices and crude oil futures, while thousands of ground troops remain on their way to the region. Follow the carrier strike groups. Follow the troops. That normally is the precursor to military action, no matter what nonsense he's saying out there in public.”
This is a sharp, falsifiable claim that Trump's diplomatic signaling is theater designed to manage markets while a military escalation is already in motion.
