This is the moment I reverse my support of Tulsi. I only ever liked her because my numero uno pet issue is non interventionism. Not a lot of politicians have been good on this. Tulsi was in my eyes, up until now.

If you believe anything anyone in MAGA orbit says you are a fool

Regardless of political tribe association, if somebody has consistently been one way on an issue it's usually safe to assume they would have principles about that issue. I will support any Democrat, Republican, Green, DSA, or Libertarian I see as good on non-interventionism.

That's why I'm a little suspicious it's something weird is going on here. Either she has information that we don't have and she can't talk about and it's scary or she got got.

All right-wing populists are hypocritical frauds who want to enrich themselves, nothing more.

Doesn't matter. We won. We got to make the decisions and you don't get to make any. Next time, Play the game better and stop being so fucking principled. You'll never win that way.

If you want to complain and scream at the top of your lungs you're pretty much just screaming to each other because we don't give a fuck. Good luck being completely ineffective for the next God knows how long...

26% approval rating smh...

You lost all of the court cases and lost the recent election in PA where you had a 17+ Republican majority. Lying fascists like you always lose, living or six feet under. Everyone will celebrate your failure.

rafajafar@reddit

Just to be clear, I am indeed a fascist, but out of necessity. We're dismantling your unethical and poorly constructed ideologies one at a time.

You can seethe about it, but you lost so badly that you and your opinions no longer matter. Because you're the extremist, not me.

Every conservative accusation is a confession. You take pleasure in destroying everything essential because your ego got bruised online from your fragile ideology being criticized.

Trump being president is the something weird going on here. Him buying her and RFK out.

[-]

rafajafar@reddit

It's 0% weird. Trump speaks to the average American. Tulsi and RFK does as well. The progressives are weird and unethical.

Dry-Purple2010@reddit

Just when I thought I found a sub with people on reddit who don’t see things and others as black and white only. Wasted breath.

[-]

Miserable-Bit5939@reddit

That’s fair to say. I think it’s both. When presented with new information, it’s not surprising to see people change their views on certain things. And also, she’s in the Trump administration so she has to be in lockstep in with his agenda. I’m not surprised that she now supports fighting the Houthis since she has also reversed her position on the assassination of Solemani

Today is that day for gabbard. Unless you count the other days from before this day that were that day.

[-]

PackAttacks@reddit

She’s flip flopped on everything. This is the biggest issue people have with her. She’s an opportunist, just like Trump. This is the least bit surprising to anyone who has been paying attention to her. Good on you for catching up at least.

[-]

SeasonsGone@reddit

Not trying to start a petty debate or anything but her simple interest in being in any part of any Trump administration should be clue enough. There are several examples of him being highly interventionist in just first term, even regarding this exact conflict.

[-]

walkinthedog97@reddit

I mean that's a pretty non nuanced take. Would you also say that anyone related to the biden administration is also highly interventionist since they also love war and terror and supporting the MI complex?

[-]

SeasonsGone@reddit

Point taken, but she’s literally the Director of National Intelligence… there’s only a couple of other steps you’d need to take to be any closer to this issue lol

[-]

Playful-Country-9849@reddit

No opposition from her when Pete Hesgeth said that he will target residential areas, meaning that he'll target civilians. HE also fired military lawyers and changed military rules to target civilians via military raids and airstrikes.

Tulsi also criminally charged leakers under her own wing as well after defending Snowden.

There is no such thing as a good right-wing person. All of them are manipulative evil liars who take glee in being sadistic to innocents. Pete Hesgeth is a "Christian" who sexually assaults women and takes glee in killing others.

texasjoe@reddit

I'm of the opinion that Trump's principled stances are nonexistent. They change with the tide of who is immediately in the room with him. He has the personality that he wants to be liked.

If I had the personal option of taking an advisory position and influencing the president away from the military industrial complex, you bet your ass I would attempt it.

[-]

SeasonsGone@reddit

I see what you’re saying. You’re hoping she at the best case serves as an adult in the room.

The queen war monger has finally revealed her true form.

I hate to say I told you so but it feels so damn good!!

Fippy-Darkpaw@reddit

Wait, Saudi Arabia was bombing Yemen to the stone age for years.

Afaik (not an expert) the US / NATO is hitting specific Yemen targets because they started launching rockets at cargo ships and Israel?

Yemen seems to prefer starving their own citizens and spending the money on missiles?

[-]

NoSauceRoss@reddit

How is the country being bombed into the stone age for years starving its own citizens?

[-]

Fippy-Darkpaw@reddit

Well when SA stopped destroying them a few years back, the US started giving Yemen hundreds of millions in aid.

https://ye.usembassy.gov/united-states-announces-nearly-220-million-in-additional-humanitarian-assistance-for-the-people-of-yemen/

Then they started missile barrages on international trade ships and Israel

I am not an expert but seems kinda dumb move? 🤔

[-]

georgia_is_best@reddit

Can't tell if you're trolling. Yemen has been in a civil war for a long time. Of course they can't control the other side that receives none of that money.

[-]

NoSauceRoss@reddit

🤔 Humanitarian aid = missiles? It seems pretty obvious to me that the reason they're armed and belligerent is not because of measures to counteract famine, but because they are threatened by their hostile and well-connected neighbors. The Houthis have been pretty clear and consistent on their intentions with trade interference in the Red Sea. They want peace in Gaza. I still don't get what you're trying to say. Is genocide good? Should SA keep going?

[-]

Fippy-Darkpaw@reddit

I'm saying they are morons. If they want hundreds of millions in foreign aid maybe stop shooting missiles at people?

Half their country is starving or in poverty, they are neighbors with Saudi Arabia, major NATO ally, who just bombed them to oblivion for years, but they can't just accept aid and not shoot missiles at neighbors?

Unfortunately not surprised

CalRipkenForCommish@reddit

She flip flopped on war? I’m shocked. Does she have a history of flip flopping? Someone give me a desperate attempt to justify her flip flopping

[-]

montecarlo1@reddit

Once you go MAGA, everything goes

[-]

sayzitlikeitis@reddit

3 years ago she was advocating for war against every islamic country including Turkey. Last midterms she endorsed a Republican who voted for the Iraq war. She is more hawkish than Hillary Clinton today, and these types of surprises will unfortunately keep on coming. I'm just hoping that some part of the old Tulsi is still inside her and will make a difference somewhere.

BriefSea4804@reddit

Good.

abhijitmk@reddit

GrayZone is a sold out org that pretends to love peace while supporting CCP and Islamist extremism.

Tulsi only talked about re-designating Houthis as terrorists here, not about killing innocent people in Yemen.
