We've gone from "there is no munitions shortage" to "the people who warned us about it are responsible for it."
Hell of a take.

"Trump...came into office wanting to pull back from Europe," but settled instead for more spending by allies. "But a bigger European budget is not the same as a smaller U.S. role. The whole point of Europe doing more is so that the US can do less." @JustinTLogan @jekavanagh

No. I’m mad American bases got lit up, American farmers are going bankrupt because fertilizer didn't reach market, and American families are eating the costs of a war their representatives in Congress never voted for.
You can celebrate destroying things. The actual job of statecraft is to leave America safer and stronger afterward. This ain't it.
But they’re really just mad about Trump’s decision to destroy Iran’s military.
Im supportive. Whether or not we end the war well and on our terms is TBD.

NEW: Days before Trump launched the Iran war, Trump summoned then-ODNI Tulsi Gabbard to the Oval Office.
He asked if the U.S. should go to war.
The IC assessed killing Khamenei would usher in hardliners, regime would close Strait, and Iran would attack in MidEast.

“Perhaps the most important structural factor encouraging presidents to repeatedly engage in unnecessary wars is that U.S. citizens remain unusually insulated from these interventions’ consequences,” writes @EmmaMAshford.
