If you believed that Iranians were trying to assassinate them for work they did under Trump's first term, why pull their security? If the answer is out of spite (he accused them of disloyalty, against all evidence) then it means that they are okay facilitating Iranian assassinations. Is that okay? And if it is, then lets drop this argument that the existence of Iranian assassins targeting government people is a reason to attack Iran. It wasn't even reason enough to defend our officials that carried out the Iran policy during Trump 1.
The interview is full of outright contradictions like this. It's a master class in demonstrating the complete and total lack of seriousness of some of our most powerful leaders. By any standard, Cruz should be one of our most serious statesman - Princeton, Harvard, clerked for Rehnquist. What an embarrassment.
Ted Cruz is on the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Subcommittee on Near East, South Asia, Central Asia, and Counterterrorism. He ought to know the Iran issue inside and out, as well as Iraq and Afghanistan.

Ngl, it’s a great insult.
Felines are never sleazy. They OWN their decisions and dare you to object. Please don't bring elegant felines into this mudpit of hippos.

It’ll be “another endless war,” warns Sen. Elizabeth Warren, illustrating that the podcaster right and progressive left increasingly agree on the virtue of American retreat.

What a mess. Shame on anyone not outraged by this POS’s responses to Carlson’s questions.
