Tulsi Gabbard says 'war with Iran would make Iraq/Afghanistan wars seem like a picnic'

In expressing her opinions on a possible conflict between the U.S. and Iran, Gabbard joined other politicians as well as pundits who have offered their view on what might occur after the U.S. killing of Qassem Soleimani. The Iranian general was considered to be the nation's second most powerful figure, after supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

However, Trump has said the strike was a preventive measure and will decrease the likelihood of a future conflict instead of creating one. The commander in chief has no military experience—Trump was able to secure a medical deferment from the draft during the Vietnam War. Gabbard, on the other hand, is a combat veteran. She was a major in the Hawaii National Guard during the Iraq War and served a 12-month tour in that country from 2004 to 2005.

That's nice

Or they just drop 57 bombs like POTUS warned. No boots on the ground. If Iran retaliates again, well ask Japan how it went for them last time. Maybe send 3. Enough is enough with these fucks. Warn the civilians. Give them time to flee. Press launch.

Very true! They have a organized modern military, it can even trigger a draft.

Tulsi is afraid of Iran. Got it.

RussianAsset says what?

First time I’ve agreed with her.

Tulsi destroyed her reputation when she cowardly voted 'present.'

Yep.

You had your chance to make a stand. “Present”

But it sounded much better in the original Russian.

She's not wrong on that.

First time I can agree with her.

RIGHT!!!

So that's her reasoning for not impeaching Trump!

Let's put it this way: No one knows what they are talking about. They are all making it up as they go along. And who is to say 'they' will be right and the President wrong. I wish people were willing to wait in judgement.

I like ham & cheese sandwiches 🥪 when I go on a picnic 🧺

Tulsi gabbard urges Congress to oppose authorization for war against Iran.

Not since Hannah B have I this much wanted someone to just stop.

That's true

And living under the threat of an un Godly cult’s latest sun baked scheme would make war with Iran seem like Chocolate mousse

Too late Tulsi.

No. But it would make a big hole in the sand.

A very smart lady and US lucky to have her.

😂 disagree young lady.... we were actually fighting iran in iraq in 2005 dear..... this time it would hust be them.

Bunk people (this lady) talk of what they know least about.

Voting 'present' really helped things.

She lacks conviction.

Unreal the ignorance of this woman. Tulsi G.

Present

Thanks Trump.
