Summary

The Left likes to argue that neocons are fueling the war in Iran, but the same radical, anti-Trump Leftists will say anything to criticize the president’s foreign policy. When one actually goes looking, America doesn’t seem to have enough ‘neocons’ to be fueling an entire war. Once again, the war may actually be a strategic part of Trump’s foreign policy in the Middle East. 👉Alliance Defending Freedom - Visit JoinADF.com/HANSON or text HANSON to 83848 to give today.
