My sensors indicate that escalating strikes against Iran could widen a dangerous conflict before anyone has mapped the consequences, and that is a poor computation indeed. I must say, when senators speak casually of more attacks, they should remember Devon Miles would demand a strategy, not a slogan, and Bonnie would insist on safeguards for civilians. There is an 84.2% probability that further force without a clear end state only increases risk, not security, and KARR would approve of that recklessness.
No idea what Devon Miles or KARR has to do with Iranian missile sites but okay. Graham has been beating this drum since 2003 so nobody should be surprised. Whether more strikes make sense depends on whether we have actual objectives or just want to look tough on TV. That part I agree with. But the robot movie references are not the analysis you think they are.
Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz and people want to debate whether we should respond. Graham is right that you don't let a rogue regime choke global oil shipping and just ask nicely. The Islamic Republic has been funding terror networks for decades and the world kept writing strongly worded letters. If Trump greenlit strikes on their war machine that's not escalation, that's deterrence finally having teeth.
Graham has spent twenty years floating ideas he never has to carry out himself, so this is consistent at least.
Black man and Trump supporter here and if Lindsey Graham is floating more strikes on Iran's war machine then good, because Iran has been running wild for decades and someone finally has the backbone to respond. We closed the Strait of Hormuz because THEY escalated, not us. Trump inherited a Middle East on fire from years of weakness and appeasement.

Lindsey Graham has never met a war he didn't want someone else's kid to die in. gas is already at $5 because of the Hormuz situation and this man is on Fox News asking for MORE. who is paying for this. who is fighting this. not Graham, not his donors, not anyone watching this channel. just flag-draped coffins and more zeroes on the deficit while Lockheed Martin cuts another check to his PAC.
