During this week’s edition of Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” host Maria Bartiromo asked the South Carolina senator to justify the staggering cost of the conflict, which the Pentagon is planning to ask for billions more to fund and has sent oil prices soaring.

“Best money ever spent,” he said. “What’s it worth to America to take down a religious Nazi regime who’s trying to build a nuclear weapon to deliver to America? That’s a really good investment.”

@yogthos This indicates two things.First, the sanctions against Iran didn't work. In their narrative they ought to prevent Iran from building these kinds of weapons. What happens instead is, the sanctions make the people suffer and fuel anti-American sentiments. Which makes them build weapons in the first place. So even in their narrative it seems inconsistent.

@yogthos Second, the west plays the card of moral highground. But still I am waiting for Europe to sanction the USA for their "unlawful war" as Europe leaders name it. So their argument of moral is inconsisten too and thus nonsense.
