Did Trump Just Put America in Another Forever War with Iran?

Chris questions the U.S. sending three aircraft carriers to strike the Houthis in Yemen. Is this another endless war? With no Congressional vote and ceasefire off in Gaza, he demands clarity—why not a global coalition instead? Fed up with constant bombing, he echoes a growing call: America first, not foreign wars. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Watchdog on Wall Street podcast explaining the news coming
out of the complex worlds of finance, economics, and politics
and the impact it we'll have on everyday Americans. Author,
investment banker, consumer advocate, analyst, and trader Chris Markowski.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
What I'm not going to swear I ran Now, come on, man,
I'm gonna be honest. I didn't vote for this. I
didn't vote for this. I'm gonna this is Donald Trump.
October of twenty nineteen. The United States has spent eight

(00:36):
trillion dollars fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands
of our great soldiers have died or been badly wounded.
Millions of people have died on the other side. Going
into the Middle East is the worst decision ever made.
Why are we sending three aircraft carriers over there right now?

(00:57):
What is the point behind this? Some people are cheering
right now out there because we attacked the Huthis in Yemen,
and I know that they have been uh problematic, but
they haven't they haven't attacked anything as of late, and

(01:19):
now I suppose they're going to be attacking things as well.
You know, we highlighted this under the Biden administration just
you know there United States Navy just being drone catchers
there in the region. I just want to throw something
out there. I mean, there are a lot of a
lot of ships that go through that straight Why not

(01:45):
make this a coalition of the willing type of thing
as Chinese ships that go there. There's lots of ships
that go through that region. Shouldn't everybody be involved? It's
going to be us once again. And I'm happy to
see even some of the people in the Maga camp,
the Marjorie Taylor Greens here. I've not heard a single

(02:07):
American say they want another war in the Middle East
or anywhere else. Not one. All I've heard is a
loud cry demanding our government. It's leaders put America first.
I don't support going to war on behalf of other countries.
Good for her, I agree wholeheartedly. Thomas Massey ran, Paul,

(02:28):
you're gonna attack, I ran. It could be me calling
me crazy, but don't don't you have to you have
to ask Congress first. You shouldn't you know that's an
act of war. You're gonna you're gonna attack another Country's
an act of war. Didn't you gotta bring that to Congress?
Or is that just too constitutional at this point in time.

(02:50):
I don't people, I don't know what's going on, but
this is quite frankly, this is disruptive. I we're not
getting much clarity when it comes to this. We cease
fire has stopped in Gaza, so Israel is back attacking Hamas.

(03:14):
I guess the President gave net Yahoo the go ahead
to do that. I for one, I for one, I
don't like the fact that that gets publicized. If Israel
wants to act, they shouldn't have to ask the United
States do what they want to do. And again, why

(03:37):
why are putting us on the hook for this? I
quite frankly, I can't get my arms well, I can
get my arms around it, but you know, I'm not
going to get into it here. This is it's getting
ridiculous here. People. Again, none of us voted for this,
None of us voted for this. We want, we wanted

(04:01):
all of the foreign wars. We want to do business
with other countries. It's amazing to me. Can we have
maybe I don't know, maybe a three to four month stretch,
a period of time where we're not bombing some nation.
Is that at all possible? For crying out loud. What

(04:24):
is the longest stretch that we've been on over the
past I don't know a couple generations where we haven't
been bombing some country somewhere. That's that's not who we are,
but it's quite frankly, it's what we've become. And it's ugly.
And again I'm not I'm not a fan of what's

(04:46):
taking place right now. Watchdog on Wall Street dot Com
