“The flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.” — Smedley Butler, USMC General, two time Medal of Honor recipient

Iran had a breakthrough nuclear deal on the table. Oman’s FM confirmed it on February 27. Iran agreed to full IAEA verification. No weapons stockpiling. On February 28, we bombed them anyway.

Before the strikes, Iran’s foreign minister called a deal “within reach.” JD Vance, a man who built his career criticizing the Iraq war, defended striking Iran anyway.

Sound familiar?

The administration told Congress Iran was planning a preemptive strike. An unspecified Pentagon source told Congress in closed-door briefings there was no intelligence suggesting Iran was planning to attack US forces first.

WMDs. Again.

Today is day 10. The Strait of Hormuz is closed. Oil is spiking toward $120 a barrel.

The flag didn’t follow freedom. It followed oil futures.

Butler said this in 1935. We still haven’t learned.
