He defends China, Iran, Schiff, and Talib.
I know you can figure it out.

I’m voting against HR 5961 because there’s no legal or moral authority for us to freeze or steal assets of other countries we are not at war with.
It’s also shortsighted for us to use our super-power status to force foreign banks to freeze assets of sovereign countries.

This guy is one of the biggest enigmas in government.
Iran has been at war with us since 78. We are just too weak to declare war on them and do what needs to be done. Now people want to use that as an excuse to do nothing.
Ever heard of “Death to America”?
> Ever heard of “Death to America”? <
Well, yes. That’s why I said Massie is wrong. We are not at war with Iran. But there is no doubt that they wish us harm. Yep, Massie is wrong.
I am often supportive of Massie, but this is a Ron Paul level of ignorance and foolishness. Iran declared war on the USA in 1979 and to my knowledge has never rescinded that declaration.
Iran is at war with US regardless of what we think
I understand his objections but I am not persuade by them.
They kidnapped and tortured our people.
Why do both sides have to declare war? The mullahs did decades ago and that should be enough.
He’s a sanctimonious idiot similar to Romney.
I’m not his biggest fan but he’s right about this.
Forget about 1979. The Shah was only in power because the U.S. and Great Britain helped overthrown the elected Mossadegh government of Iran in 1953.
.
Exactly
In 1812 for example the various British provocations like seizing American sailors on the high seas and turning them into Royal Navy sailors were listed in a “Declaration of War”.
Massie has “principals”. He seems to vote the wrong way alot of the time and then tried to explain himself. I think he should go back home and stay there. I’m tired of him.
yeah I know. Kept the middle east stable for a quarter of a century. we should’ve backed the shah in 79. but Carter was weak.
Yes. It is increasingly apparent that those who really want a government strictly limited to Constitutional parameters and guided by the Founder’s principles are very few indeed. Very few. “Overreach is fine as long as it suits my flawless perspective of any given situation,” seems to be the order of the day.
SSS is only cure for that POS...
“I thought Iran DID declare war on the US...?”
Back when Iran counterfeited US dollars, there were calls for declaring war on the Mullahs.
Rand should seek that Iran be taken off the Terrorist-Nations list.
