Massie says it seems Congress just declared war on Iran (he voted No)
Twitter/X ^ | Nov 2 | Rep. Thomas Massie

Posted on 11/02/2023 8:17:03 PM PDT by RandFan

@RepThomasMassie

Yesterday Congress passed a resolution (354 to 53) that claims Iran possesses all it needs for a nuclear weapon.

The same resolution says the U.S. should “use all means necessary to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.”

Seems like a call for war on Iran. I voted No.

@RepThomasMassie

We should remember the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution which midwifed the disastrous Vietnam War.

Yesterday’s Congressional Iran Resolution is eerily reminiscent of that resolution as well as the claims of WMDs that were used justify the second Gulf War.

Playing with fire.

I guess they’ll pee their pants tonight that’s what I was told about playing with fire when I was a kid.

But seriously Armageddon anyone?

Iran declared war on America in 1979. We should do whatever is necessary to prevent them from having nukes. Massie lives in a fantasy world

Under Biden’s Gang, America is only just barely ready to declare war against Pokemon!

You might say we declared war on Iran when we overthrew their government. Perhaps it could be considered an act war of war when we, the Brits and Soviets commandeered the entire Iranian transportation system during WWII. That act so crippled normal transportation that some four million Iranians starved to death.
Are you ready to go fight in Iran? No, are you ready to send you son or grandson? I thought not.

I can’t figure Massie out. His votes, at times, seem wrong, but his reasons seem logical.

Now we know why they want a draft; so they can send legacy US citizen straight, white, young males to die in Iran.

Massie said on Fox that Republicans need to stop fighting Dems.


He voted with the Dems to not censure and fine Schiff, too.


He’s Pro-Surrender Monkey.

>> I can’t figure Massie out. His votes, at times, seem wrong, but his reasons seem logical. <<

IMO, he's a good guy at heart who spent too much time listening to the insane rants of Trump-hating pro-Palestinian lunatic Justin Amash, and it rubbed off on him.

It's like well meaning people who get seduced by crazy cult leaders and STILL repeat some of their cult leader's ramblings years AFTER the cult leader gets arrested and they realize they were wrong to sign up... time for deprogramming!

Massie gets on National TV in Prime Time again, and he says nothing about Joe Biden’s Foreign money machine.

Just like when he’s had opportunity to question the head of the FBi - not one question on the raids, spying, and persecution of Trump.

There’s a Pattern here

He hides behind hyper-technical BS when it comes time to actually do something, and after he votes to preserve the status-quo, corrupt system, he goes back to pontificating endlessly about how things need to change.

He likes the Swamp just how it is.

Oh, look a smug drug using college kid has logged onto FR with delusions of being hard.
You might say we declared war on Iran when we overthrew their government.

In 1953, the US and British helped restore the constitutional monarchy from a pro-communist coup. The Twelver Shia Mullahs opposed the coup and supported the shah.

Perhaps it could be considered an act war of war when we, the Brits and Soviets commandeered the entire Iranian transportation system during WWII. That act so crippled normal transportation that some four million Iranians starved to death
Iran is functionally allied with KGB Russia and opposes the US, which didn't take part in this.

Are you ready to go fight in Iran?
A full war isn't my first choice, but I would sign up to fight now rather than when Iran has nukes and other unstable regimes in the area follow. a nuclear Iran means a nuclear strike on the US.

I thought not.
Are you willing to grow up past the level of a pot-smoking college kid? Are you capable of arguing against my and not just the voices in your head? I thought not.

Give it another two weeks and see where the price of oil is. That’s assuming the Israelis don’t come to their senses and take the gun from their temple by stopping the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
Israel isn't committing ethnic cleansing in Gaza, comrade.

What government?

Don’t say Mossadegh. He was a socialist.

We need to become a Muslim country so Iran and other countries don’t hate us. Being Christian or Jewish is a declaration of war against these kind nations.
