Elizabeth Warren said a classified briefing about Donald Trump’s war on Iran has confirmed the situation surrounding the controversial conflict is even more dire than expected. The Massachusetts senator was among a number of Democrats who attended a closed-door meeting Tuesday about the president’s war in the Middle East, and warned that the administration has no clear plan to end the conflict, or any real justification for starting it. “Here’s what I can say: It is so much worse than you thought. You are right to be worried,” Warren, 76, said in a video posted online.

    I want to like Warren, I despise people that pick one thing they disagree with about a politician, but in standard self-hating mode, I can’t look at her without thinking about how she bent knee to the DNC and helped torpedo Bernie’s run.

      And that single action in 2020 gave us Trump in 2024. And Liberals coalescing around Biden, despite the fact that he had obvious mental decline, helped give us Trump in 2024. Before 2020, there has never been a Democrat candidate that won California that did not get the party nomination, It was an orchestrated event by the DNC to fuck the working class, again.

        There was no single action. Trump us just a symptom of the times. America did it first but far right seems to becoming more popular and historically brows when times are hard.

        Apparently they fixed their incredibly undemocratic primary process, but this Canadian never noticed because they went 100% undemocratic and forced Harris onto everyone without any primary. Wild.

    She’s talking as if we didn’t all see her standing and applauding at the State of the Union when Trump was talking about war.

      She’s been very consistently and vocally opposed to war in Iran. https://www.warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/icymi-in-floor-speech-warren-slams-trumps-war-in-iran-exposes-10-ways-big-beautiful-bill-increases-costs

      “We all agree that Iran should not and cannot have a nuclear weapon…But the only successful strategy for preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon is diplomacy, something Trump had been pursuing right up until Netanyahu began bombing Iran,” said Senator Warren.

      Trump didn’t say shit about going to war with Iran before doing it. It’s probably the most impulsive thing he’s done as president, (so far), which is why we’ve heard several excuses for why he did it and why these excuses he gives seem to contradict each other.

      It was definitely naive and unnecessary for her to stand and applaud in hindsight, but keep in mind Trump had been in the middle of negotiating peace talks. Warren (and literally everyone else) did not know that he was going to just suddenly pivot away from the ongoing peace talks and try to kick off armageddon to avoid facing accountability.

        She, like most Democrats, are vocal about lots of things, then their actions tell a different story.

        That’s the problem with most of them, we’ve heard what they say, then watched what they did. And rarely do the 2 align
