One of my closest friends, John Wood Jr. with Braver Angels, launched a podcast. His goal is to bring America together. John is a Conservative and I'm a Liberal but he often talks about him and I running for office together one day on a unity ticket. I don't know about that but I would support him in any office he runs for.
His first guest, Dave Rubin. Check it out.
Had a fun time this weekend at a birthday party and wanted to share my GIF. btw..I learned it's pronounced JIFF with a soft G not GIFF with a hard G. The more you know I suppose.
Super article, one of his best. Excellently persuasive. Thanks Glenn!
I am going to pick a quotation that has a pivotal focus for the reading:
”(oil is often cited as the reason, but the U.S. is a net exporter of oil, and multiple oil-rich countries in that region are perfectly eager to sell the U.S. as much oil as it wants to buy)”
There is another argument that states that it is to prevent Iran from selling oil to China. So then there is the question, that if Iran only agreed to not sell oil to China, would we still be on the brink of a new war with Iran?
There is also the question of how much money does it cost simply to transport all that military hardware to that region in order to “persuade” Iran and then if Trump decides to return all that military hardware back to home base how much is that cost in addition to the departure journey?
