I taught constitutional law at West Point before serving overseas twice. Article I isn’t complicated: the authority to take this country to war belongs to Congress. No one should mourn the Iranian regime. But whether a regime is brutal is not the constitutional test for war. Eight months ago,...

I'm seeing a lot of discourse about Trump's military actions in Iran. It's resulting in some saying they are going to vote Democrat and some saying they are not going to vote at all in the midterms. If you are one of these people, you do not understand your principles or why you have them. This way of thought is the antithesis of conservatism and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy because if the Democrats get in power, we the people will actually lose control to a regime like the one opressing the Iranian people for the previous 47 years. As recent history shows, we'll all be censored and silenced without the privilege of discussion. This military action needs to be judged in the (not so distant) future by the amount of troops we actually put on the ground and the amount of time we spend there. It's clear it's already a huge success wiping out the regime's nuclear, naval, and military capabilities. A regime change realistically requires thousands of boots on the ground for years, which is something most Americans have an adverse reaction to after Iraq, and rightfully so. Trump has specifically said we are not doing this. We Americans cannot comprehend true oppression or suffering, to no credit of our own. We have many of our ancestors to thank for sacrificing their lives for our freedom. We never had to live through this sacrifice. We are lucky. We do not know true evil. The Iranian people do. They have lost their freedoms and many have lost their lives. I want them to be free. I hope they are successful. Whether or not that comes to fruition is not the basis for the justification of Trump's action. This black pill rabbit hole isolationist mindset is dangerous because it prevents people from seeing basic truths, which is the regime in Iran chants death to America. The regime in Iran is actively working to enrich uranium to gain nuclear capabilities, they are the largest funder of terror in the world, they are providing China access to cheap oil. It is important to note that uranium for nuclear power is enriched in single digits, whereas for nuclear weapons grade, uranium is enriched to over 90%. Iran has uranium that they have stated is enriched at over 60% and lots of it over 20%. There is only one use for this. Nuclear weapons. Iranian negotiators told U.S. envoys (e.g., Steve Witkoff) they had ~460 kg at 60%, enough for ~11 bombs if enriched further. Enriching to 90% would take 1-2 weeks. Then it's a matter of a few months to fully develop the weapons. Biden and Kamala's "Don't. Just don't." wasn't taken seriously. Virtually every Middle Eastern country supports what America AND ISRAEL are doing. I repeat, the Middle East is supporting the US and Israel's military action against Iran. That is how bad Iran is. The question remains, if there is even a 50% chance the Iranian regime gains nuclear capabilities, would you take those odds knowing what it would result in? There is only one moral answer. That answer is no.
