Today the United States wasted another #1B on an illegal war in Iran, money that could have been spent on funding health care or providing SNAP benefits or cancer research or academic scholarships for minorities. I could go on and on but I think you get my point. #endtheiranwarnow

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

Heโ€™s not protecting others; heโ€™s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Putin is a terrible and overrated strategist, as recent years have shown.

However, he is a genuine opportunist who knows when to abandon allies and how to make the most of any situation.

Heโ€™s doing that now with the war involving Iran
