"First it was over the White House's Venezuela policy, but now conservative and contrarian libertarian-leaning firebrand Rep. Thomas Massie is lashing out at President Trump over his fresh Iran warning and ultimatum.

Amid the nearly weeklong economic and anti-government protests in Iran, Trump added fuel to the fire on Friday, stating on Truth Social that if Iran shoots and "violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue."

This sounded to many like threat of regime change in another Middle East capital - though Trump might be thinking of other 'options' such as more sanctions and efforts to further isolate the Islamic Republic on the world stage.


Massie on Friday in response listed three points as a counter to and critique of Trump: "We have problems at home and shouldn’t be wasting military resources on another country’s internal affairs," Massie wrote on X.

He said that second, "Military strikes on Iran require Congressional authorization." He followed with the final criticism of, "This threat isn’t about freedom of speech in Iran; it’s about the dollar, oil, and Israel" - while reposting Trump's original message.

Massie has long been a thorn in the side of Trump's latest foreign policy adventures, and the Republican from Kentucky along with Sen. Rand Paul has a significant following among Trump's MAGA base.

He indeed gives voice to the growing viewpoint that Trump should stick to his campaign promises and not allow the United States military to be the "police force of the world".

Rep. Massie Blasts Trump's Iran Warning: "We Have Problems At Home"​

Journalist Glenn Greenwald has meanwhile also called out Trump for not being 'America First' enough, while highlighting Massie's commentary...

In case you're wondering why three fanatically pro-Israel oligarchs (Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer and John Paulson) are single-handedly funding the campaign to remove @RepThomasMassie from Congress, see below.

Too much America First. Can't have that: pic.twitter.com/i7NwMmkNC1

For many others, however, Trump's reviving a Monroe Doctrine concept of how foreign policy should work might sound promising and refreshing. But it does require Washington to lessen or remove its footprint from conflict theatres ranging from Eastern Europe to the Middle East, as well as perhaps a policy of much less provoking China over the hot button Taiwan issue.

And more shots fired from MGT to boot...

God forbid we support people protesting the theocratic, leftist, dictatorship that is Iran…the largest state sponsor of terror

I Stand with Thomas Massie, Rand Paul, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, concerning what Trump has done!

Massie is an isolationist. It's one of the things I disagree with him on. The Mullahs being deposed and a free Iran are better for the world, not just Iran and not just the United States. The UN should be fully behind these revolutionaries, but it's a completely useless organization.

Donnie, stop simping for the Israeli lobby.

Let Iran deal with their own problem.

Wrong, Non interventionism is a hallmark of a strong country.

Correct. I should have said non-interventionist. I didn't mean to imply we should send our military into Iran. The UN, frankly, should be organizing something like that to remove the current government, but there are other ways we can assist behind the scenes.

 

[Meister]

Let Iran deal with their own problem.

They are....their killing the protesters in the streets.
90% of their people want a change in the government.

You skeered, bro?

No guts, no glory.

Uh even worse. Iran isn’t a threat.

Not my problem.

 

[odanny]

I heard an Iranian scholar saying today that this nation is not used to, nor prepared, for the U.S. to attack Iran in favor of these protestors, and most protestors would not welcome such military intervention from the U.S..

Every revolution the U.S. has gotten involved in over the last 75 years has led to some handpicked dictator with no widespread support from the people. Usually we worsen any existing problems when we arm "rebels".

 

[Oddball]

The video I saw was of the protesters BTFO one of the troops that shot at them.

Not our circus, not our monkeys.

 

[JGalt]

Not my problem.

But it is your problem and your responsibility to force them into killing more protesters in the streets, so that 110% of their people want a change in the government.

Who in their right mind doesn't want to see beautiful Iranian chicks that aren't dressed up like hobgoblins in their hijabs, just like it was in the 60's?

WTF man?

If that many of them want the Mullahs thrown out, then they'll do it.

The CIA already fucked up Persia once.

 

[excalibur]

I thought we were already at war with Iran?

Remember the nutso reasoning from some the night President Trump took out their [Iran's] major nuclear facilities and the predictions that we were sending in troops? LOL

 

[Natural Citizen]

Massie is an isolationist. It's one of the things I disagree with him on.

You, like so many others who arbitrarily invoke the term, clearly do not know or understand what an isolationist actually is or what isolationism means.

Non-interventionists are not isolationists.

Technically speaking, it's the interventionists who are, in effect, the isolationsts.

Not my problem, have no responsibility to anyone, especially to a bunch of N’Wahs half way across the world. Stop grooming.
