Donald Trump's capitulation to Netanyahu and war hawks not only represents a betrayal of his "America First" promise but also threatens to trigger WW3 and harm U.S. security.
I'm 76. A nonTrumper. An ex-Republican. A person of Christian faith but not of this evangelical christian movement that has so anihilated the Republican party & turned it into this MAGA cultism.
We must NOT discount the power of so-called evangelical christianity continues to have on Trump. They continue to feed his ego/ narcissism while lauding him as the Chosen One. No way can Trump not support Israel.
The evangelicals see Trump as the fulfillment for bringing about the Second Coming. They hunger for the 2nd Coming. So of course they support protecting Israel because they see that as a fulfillment of scripture.
Mike Huckabee, preacher and ambassador to Iran, is said to have invoked Harry Truman's name into his discussion with Trump re: Iran, according to Malcolm Nance. This makes me shudder.
Thank you for another terrific conversation. And I appreciate the call out for the Iranian people, and that Tehran is a city of millions (including family members of a good friend of mine). The damage Netanyahu, the Iranian regime (and its proxies), and Trump have been collectively doing for years now will haunt us for generations.
I'm a lifelong pacifist. Always against war. Christian, Anabaptist, Democrat. We need to end all the wars happening because of our aid, or indifference.
Wrote to DJT telling him that Netanyahu and the GOP war hawks are playing him and that the American citizens who elected him do not want the United States to go to war against Iran with Israel.

Do not discount this.
I second this as a former evangelical. They are deeply invested in the End Times theology.
That is precisely why Trump appointed Huckabee as ambassador to Israel as opposed to a Jewish person.

We had to mind our manners so we didn't get Mr.Parsi into trouble 😀

One of the best Left Hook discussions ever!
I agree entirely! 🫣

The true cost of war is always the people on the margins who have power or voice.
An excellent and timely discussion. I learned a lot. Thank you, gentlemen!
WW 3 is right around the corner!
