@ChrisMurphyCT · High-reach critics & hostile narrative — US/West
Chris Murphy is a Connecticut senator and a prominent Democratic foreign-policy voice increasingly critical of Israel.
18 Americans are dead. Billions in damage to our bases. Missile supplies catastrophically low. Farm bankruptcies at record highs. Families struggling to pay $5 gas prices. Iran stronger than ever. But "small potatoes". Our president is dangerously delusional.
As I walk across the state this week, gas prices everywhere are over $4.25. That’s totally unaffordable for any family living paycheck to paycheck. And the only reason prices are this high is Trump’s insane, incompetent war. https://t.co/JP2HlFd9Ke
The only reason your gas is through the roof is because your president started a war with Iran that nobody wanted and he couldn't possibly win. November will be a referendum on his incompetence. https://t.co/uPCZdGaqFG
The fallout of the disastrous Iran War continues. We have suspended a program to learn how to conduct drone warfare (the future of combat) so we can focus all our attention on failing at conventional bombing campaigns in Iran. https://t.co/OB3V6rZxdX
Democrats should make the Iran War and its cost to taxpayers a centerpiece of the fall campaign. It's increasingly Trump's achilles heel. In the last 2 months, even his base has abandoned him on the war. https://t.co/BZNMHsN5IL
Trump's bluster on new economic pressure against Iran is a sign that he's finally realized he's lost the war militarily. But the "economic war" will fail too because Trump has no way to stop China from keeping Iran's economic afloat. Iran has Trump in a corner. https://t.co/v643deY6pO
"D-Day" is desperate window dressing. Iran is winning the war. Trump is losing. And Americans are paying a huge, huge cost. 1/ Let's review where we are, and why these sanctions are another fool's errand.
It’s impossible to overhype how disastrous this war has been. It was unwinnable from the start. Trump’s hubris has led to the biggest foreign policy disaster since Iraq.
