Earlier: The GOP-controlled #Texas Lege passed a biennial state budget that will effectively halve the amount dedicated to its multi-billion-dollar #border security operations—from a proposed $6.5B down to about $3.4B. Still, that remains 4 times higher than the $800M that Texas budgeted prior to Operation Lone Star. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-quietly-downsizes-border-security-spending/
Are we sleepwalking into a war against Iran?
Maybe people have forgotten in the lead up to the disasterous war in Iraq it was widely recognized the war with Iran would be catastrophic. Iran is huge, 3x the size of Iraq. They have 1 million soldiers and much more heavily armed with relatively modern weapons. Also, there will be no coalition of the willing when it comes to Iran. It will be the US and Israel going it alone.
