CENK UYGUR - CBS is reporting we're attacking Iran by the weekend. [View all]

“””CBS is reporting we're attacking Iran by the weekend. They don't do real reporting, but they are connected to Israel. @Axios says this is going to be "a massive, weeks-long campaign that would look more like full-fledged war." Two polls have opposition to the war at 70% and 85%!”

Here's what we're sending according to @Axios:

Trump’s armada has grown to include two aircraft carriers, a dozen warships, hundreds of fighter jets and multiple air defense systems. Some of that firepower is still on its way.

More than 150 U.S. military cargo flights have moved weapons systems and ammunition to the Middle East.

Just in the past 24 hours, another 50 fighter jets — F-35s, F-22s and F-16s — headed to the region.

We are putting our troops lives in grave danger. We are spending a fortune just to threaten this war, let alone if we follow through. All of this is being done when the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF AMERICANS DON'T WANT THIS WAR. Only the Israeli lobby does. This is sick.
