The Democrats are as adamant to go to war as the Republicans. They want retaliation with Russia, they want President Donald Trump to intensify an aggressive campaign in Syria, and they want foreign policy to be more of the same. So, when will the anti-war Democrats stand up?
You’ll wait a long time before that happens.
Case in point, on Saturday, Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) perpetuated the narrative that the Syrian government gassed its own people, despite evidence to the contrary. He further advocated constructing a Middle East coalition (more boots on the ground, more war, more deaths). Swalwell also tapped into the neo-McCarthyism by urging the president to never get close with Russia again.
Here is the tweet:
What’s the “mission?” You did SAME strike last yr. It failed. Syria still gases its own people.
How about:
1) Go to Congress
2) Build Mid East coalition
3) Never again get us so close to Russia that it takes a year+ to stand up to them
Troops deserve a plan. Not impulse. https://t.co/Ru57pue3DQ

There you have it. Democrats are not anti-war. They’re as bad as people like John McCain and Lindsey Graham.
If President Trump is LITERALLY HITLER and lies about everything, why would the left believe him on this?
Moreover, Defense Secretary James Mattis admitted there was no evidence that Bashar al-Assad unleashed chemical weapons on his own people. He just “believed” Assad did. So, the U.S. will now go to war based on feelings.
It seems like the only one in the House of Representatives who is applying some common sense on the left side of the aisle is Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI).
Unfortunately, the left has finally got what it wants: diminished relations with Russia and another war in the Middle East. This is all because the left hates Trump. The neocon-left unity only expands.
Sad!
