The "war" isn't even a week old and so many on the left are foreseeing a loss, failure.
My son is active-duty Air Force, so excuse the F### out of me, I DO take this shit personally.
I thought that this is not anymore a left vs right thing ....
It shouldn't be, but the more time goes by, the stronger the division lines are appearing. We already know the politics of politicians who speak on the matter, and we hear what comes out of their mouths... and that makes it increasingly obvious that it is, in fact, a "right vs. left" thing.
Judging by the reactions of the politicians, we can immediately see who is "left" and who is "right" just by seeing who it is that is trying to snatch a defeat right out of the jaws of victory. Those calling for a "loss" or a "failure" when there is no evidence so far that such will be the case are simply projecting their wishful thinking and fondest dreams of America taking an ass-whoopin' out into the public arena.
And those politicians are, invariably and to a man, on the Left. I think it may be in large part because it's taking attention from their pet war in the Ukraine. The Ukraine is the Left's pet war, and I don't think they like it even a little bit that there is a competing war distracting from it.
How dare Trump pound the crap out of folks who have been threatening us for 47 years when he could be funneling all that war materiel into a Russian Civil War we've got no business involving ourselves in?
.
I cant get accurate numbers from here, far away...but it has looked like part of the MAGA people have signed off from supporting Trump after Epstein and specially after Iran war , people who where from hardline right . So to me there is dissatisfaction to this war on both camps.
