The Trump admin’s pretext for war is so transparently fraudulent and lazy that even those who reflexively support war-mongering can’t get on board.
First time I’ve seen this happen since 2013, when Obama threatened to bomb Syria over a (false flag) chemical attack in Syria.Mark Warner (@MarkWarner)The Trump administration has NOT been able to show there was any imminent threat to Americans before they got us into this war of choice.

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries: “There is no evidence that has been presented to us that the United States was under threat of imminent attack from Iran…It’s hard for the American people to understand the rationale from launching a preemptive war in the Middle East.” https://www.c-span.org/program/news-conference/house-minority-leader-jeffries-holds-news-conference/674634

A Kuwaiti F/A-18 Hornet was the cause of the accidental shootdown of 3 F-15E Strike Eagles in a “friendly fire” incident over the country on Sunday, not a Kuwaiti “Patriot” Surface-to-Air Missile Battery like had initially been believed, three people familiar with initial reports of the incident told the Wall Street Journal.
One F/A-18 launched three missiles against the F-15s, according to a U.S. official, with all three aircraft being hit and going down, but their pilots ejecting safely. The incident occurred soon after multiple Iranian drones had penetrated Kuwaiti air defenses, one striking a commercial port and killing six American servicemembers, with Kuwaiti officials on edge when their radars detected the jets flying in and fired on them.
