Stop this cycle.

Absolutely.

And it goes beyond potential drafts and forcing Americans to fight a war on behalf of a foreign country.

Even if we were to sever the, I think, malignant relationship that we have with Israel right now, the fact of the matter is,

Our economy is in a lot of trouble.

We've lost a lot as a result of this war.

So right now, Iran not only has control of the Strait of Hormuz, they've always had control of it.

It's the fact that they're now charging tolls for oil tankers or anything that's being transported through the strait.

So those costs will be passed down to Americans, no question about it, but okay.

Even worse, even worse, they are not allowing the transactions using American dollars.

They're doing with Chinese currency and crypto.

No Chinese currency.

And on top of that, despite the fact that Israel had an economic surplus in 2021, 2022, we continue to fund their military adventures, their weaponry, their IDF.

We send them nearly $4 billion a year.

And then on top of that, we add supplemental funding whenever they get involved in one of their wars.

Wait, why are we sending a country that had an economic surplus in 2021 our money?

Which, by the way, we're $40 trillion in debt.

We did have an economic surplus.

So why were we going into more debt to hand over more resources to a foreign country?

How did that benefit us?
