Anti-war advocates have openly speculated about whether the Democratic establishment would deliberately allow the war to drag on to benefit the party politically in the 2026 midterm elections.
You don't fight a "war" with a publicly declared deadline upon it. A real war is an existential battle for your existence as a independent nation (just ask our vassals Japan or Germany). If you can afford to play games with deadlines, you can obviously afford to lose, and your "war" is in no way "existential." In that case the U.N. charter (which was ratified by the Senate and hence is U.S. law) makes it very clear that you have no right to fight, since it's not "self defense." And if you have no right to fight and your leaders make you do it anyway, then they're the aggressors and the only resolution you should pass must call for an immediate cessation of hostilities and for turning your leaders over to the ICC to face justice. Full stop.
"Anti-war advocates have thus openly speculated whether the Democratic establishment would **deliberately allow the war to drag on in order to benefit the party politically** in the 2026 midterm elections."
Disgusting to think they'd be so pathological.
I wonder if the establishment Democrats remember the devastating blow of the 2024 election? Or if they take seriously their own postmortem of said election disaster which demonstrated that Biden & Harris support for Israel's genocide was a significant factor in their defeat?
Is it possible they don't even care about winning? That they'd rather be the "I'm sorry" party and still reap the "benefit" of power?
I can't imagine the turnout for Democrats being enough to defeat MAGA in any election for the foreseeable future. The Democratic establishment so far refuses to learn from its own mistakes. Or simply, does not care.
Who would have ever thought that 3.5 billion dollars yearly allocated to Israel would be used to effectively own the US Congress? The DNC ruled out the public release of their inquiry into 2024 election losses (again) to Trump. With the exception of a few handfuls of Representatives and Senators, that influence is very much alive in the halls of Congress.
Our Democratic and Republican apparatchicks skirmish among themselves, spit-balling solutions to war. At another location, Dear Leader, Hopalong Hegseth, and our dippy diplomats blow smoke to win with lies. Except Tyler Simmons' last words didn't cop, Hoppy, and the svelte all-in-black Iran ambassador didn't crawl. Trump may confuse Machiavelli with Matchabelli.
Vote out any one who supports war in any way, shape or form. Vote them out now, or in the near furture or distant. War advocates must go. Those who pretend to not like war but actually use tactics to prolong it must also go!!
“I’m not going to start wars, I’m going to stop wars.”
“We’re going to end these endless wars.”
“We will turn the page forever on those foolish, stupid days of never-ending wars. They never ended.”
“I will expel the warmongers from our national security state… and stop the war profiteering.”
“He [his predecessors] sent our blood and treasure to back regime change in Iraq, regime change in Libya, regime change in Syria and every other globalist disaster for half a century.
“We believe that the job of the United States military is not to wage endless regime-change wars around the globe, senseless wars. The job of the United States military is to defend America from attack and invasion here at home.”
“These endless wars keep going and going, people getting killed all over the place, spending billions and billions.”
“There must be a complete commitment to dismantling the entire globalist neocon establishment that is perpetually dragging us into endless wars, pretending to fight for freedom and democracy abroad…We should have never gone into the Middle East. Under my leadership, we will turn the page forever on those foolish, stupid days of never-ending wars…. Stupid, senseless, endless wars…”
He didn’t just start saying those things in 2024 either. In 2019 he said, “Lindsey Graham would like to stay in the Middle East for the next thousand years, with thousands of soldiers, fighting other people’s wars. I want to get out of the Middle East.” In 2013 he said, “The US should stay out of Syria.” In 2011, “The United States spent $2 trillion in Iraq and thousands of lives. Now we’re bombing Libya and giving aid to rebels. What are we doing?” And in the mid-2000s, “We should never have been there [Iraq].”
“I’m not going to start wars, I’m going to stop wars.”
Not needed. People already despise that Republicans cannot stop this insanity because they are afraid of the Administration's ability to herd them like cattle off a cliff. Voters will not be voting for them. They may as well stop this illegal war and saying that supporting it was mistaking USA motives in error. Opps! That will get them more votes than siding with more money for war profiteers and cowardly Congressmen and women... Those streams of corruption will dry up, too.
Cynicism and nihilism seem to be a plague of our decaying democracies
At least in the encroached alternating in power political machines. The left never having resounded the democratic deconstruction piece by piece for decades in best case of wrapped some Orwellian language around the policies in the same direction
Why would this not be about war policies too. The only un-doged branch of government same for police.
Insecurity begetting insecurity seems good for business

The Democrats can't seem to kick the habit of their addiction to AIPAC money.
I like the word "abhorrent". Do the Trumpets understand that the people feel the current leadship is out of control and stupid.

Hegseth’s $200 billion bill for Trump’s war? Clawback the “Epstein Class” Tax Breaks!

I see nukes on the ground before troops on the ground......that's why we need to stop funding this war now.
