Donald Trump killed the anti-war law but also gives the opportunity to revive the anti-war left.
On Friday night, Senator Bernie Sanders accepted his populist message about the fight against oligarchy in Tols, Oklahoma, attracting the crowd nearly 6000. shouted“We just bombed Iran!” The shock of the horror can be heard, like the senator and the audience tried to process the news, many in the audience muttered: “Oh, dear God.” Sanders officer rushed to the stage and handed the senator a document containing Twitter Donald Trump printing, announcing the latest war in America. Sanders, noticeably disgusting, read from Twitter, while singing began to rise from the audience “No more war!” In the video from the event you can see how anger spreads through the crowd, as the prairie when the cry becomes louder and louder: “There is no more war, more war, more war!”
Sanders was well prepared for the passions that overtook the audience. Unlike virtually all his colleagues in Congress, he was at the forefront attempts to strengthen Trump’s foreign policy by pursuing introduce The law on the lack of war against Iran on Monday repeatedly emphasizing that any one -sided attack on Iran will be unconstitutional without approval in Congress. But Sanders is an exception. Among both Republicans and Democrats, Trump’s war will be a challenge, as both sides of the truth are divided into this topic.
The anger at the Sanders rally is an early anticipation of how Trump’s decision openly joining Israel in the war with Iran has caused US politics. It has already been great and growing opposition to the Trump presidency. A “no kings” rally last weekend attracted from 4 to 6 million people in hundreds of cities and cities, which means that it could be The biggest one -day protest in American history. The slogan “without kings” concisely covers Trump’s danger as a truck, the threat that made it clear in his immigration repression, his war against the academia, redeeming him towards Congress, his frequent expressions of contempt for courts and his attempt to turn the military into a private security force. All this – urgent issues – but the danger they create for democracy will be strengthened only if the United States goes into a long war, which will not only strengthen Trump’s autocratic trends, but also give it even more opportunities for the US state of national security against enemies.
With this new war, the slogan “More War” has become as relevant as “without kings”. Merit “No more war!” The cohesive cry is that he both emphasizes Trump’s betrayal of his party and can help Democrats overcome one of the biggest problems – the dominance of an institution that is not surprisingly related to the American public.
Current Issue
Donald Trump’s decision to become president of the war relies on the paradox: he did not strengthen the power because he managed to use anger, which many Americans felt in a two -party foreign policy that supported the unsuccessful George W. Bush wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. One of Trump’s believers as an agent of the new foreign policy was the Vice Preidental JD Vance. In 2016, Vens, then Trump’s critic, wrote in Time of New YorkS what Trump’s willingness to attack Bush’s foreign policy “reflects what he is most: his full break with the party elite.” Revision of this topic in The Wall Street Journal In 2024 Ven times argued The fact that “Trump’s best foreign policy” was “not starting any wars”.
But Trump eventually destroyed the right anti -war position he helped to promote. As I noted in Early columnsThe Trump administration has always been deeply divided between the “American first” faction (who want to leave the Middle East and Europe to focus on China) and more basic neo -Conservatives (which hawks on each front). With an attack on Iran, it is clear which side won the fractional battle. The neoconservators respond, and Trump’s promise to stop the era forever was a lie.
The triumph of militarism left anti -war Republicans. Representative Thomas Mass remains a fundamental critic of militarism and there is sponsorship With the Democratic Representative of Ra Hana, a decree of the military force. But Trump is bearings Mass, supporting efforts to defeat it mostly next year. Appearing on Face to the nationMass Offered this unhappy hope: “This administration still has votes – you still have JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK JR – You still have more calm heads that could prevail.” In truth, none of these names inspire confidence. All of them are opportunists who will move in any direction, Trump will send them to turns.
Appearing on Meet the press On Sunday, Haens – Note:
I certainly empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign confusion in the Middle East. I understand concern, but the difference is that we had dumb presidents then, and now we have a president who really knows how to achieve national security goals in America.
This is not a statement about America at first or fundamental non -immurism. Most likely it is an oath of loyalty of the cult of personality. Because Trump can’t do nothing wrong, we must support it in this war, even if the lessons of the past teach that these wars are over bad. Vens turned out to be a loyal soldiers, but doing so, he showed that there was no future in America’s first unprecedented future.
Vens also offered a false promise that the attack on Iran would be a one -time business that can be followed. he said Meet the pressthat it is “there will be no long, stretched thing.”
After the appearance of Vens Trump’s television published On the truth socially that it can be open for mode change:
Use the term, “change of regime” is not politically correct, but if the current Iranian regime cannot make Iran again, why not change the regime ??? Miga !!!
Usually, this sneaky post gives the lies of Hope Vens that Iran’s attack was a quick and easy victory. Further, the data indicates that Iran was actually able to preserve Most of his enriched uranium. In other words, the main issues of the conflict remain.

The war in Iran is likely not to end quickly. It is easier for wars to start than finish, and almost always have unpleasant surprises.
There is also a gap on the democratic side. While the war is unpopular with the Democrats and the population as a whole, many party leaders – in general, Senator Chuck Sumer and hockey representative – ascending in thrall to a hawk policy. Sumer and Jeffreis slowly sounded against their war and by the Trump’s just a procedural business, which requires approval in Congress. For the Democrats, the struggle for ending the war should include the struggle for the change of the party leadership, which is reluctant to accept the anti -war cause.
All these factors make the “more wars” by the urgent cry of this point. If the Democrats do not take it up, they will condemn themselves even more unnecessary.
