“Iran Is Not Really A Threat To The US”; Curt Mills On Pulling The Chips Off The Table Re:Hormuz

President Trump’s Iran agreement remains under pressure after a fresh round of retaliatory strikes by the U.S. in and around the Strait of Hormuz. Iran allegedly targeted a commercial cargo ship with attack drones, U.S. forces responded by striking Iranian missile, drone, and radar sites.

So the ceasefire is shaky but it seems …..

Against that backdrop, last night, American Conservative executive director Curt Mills and Will Chamberlain of the Article III Project joined prolific author Michael Malice to debate whether Trump struck the right deal, whether preserving stability in the Strait of Hormuz justifies the concessions to Tehran, and what the agreement means for the factional battle within the Republican party… also Israel 🙂

Below were the highlights for those short on time:

Voting Dems over Neocons in ‘28

The Iran war (and how a deal pans out) will have an effect on the future of the Republican Party, but the old guard retaking power could simply leave millions done with voting…

Mills said he supported Trump because he represented “a different type of conservatism,” warning that if the GOP simply reverts to “Jeb Bushism, Scott Walkerism, Mitt Romneyism,” then “I’m just not that interested in the project.”

Chamberlain challenged Mills’ past comments about voting for Ro Khanna over Marco Rubio, calling the idea “crazy” and accusing Mills of “enabling communists.” Mills responded that if Republicans nominate “the absolute worst nominee for my interests,” such as Rubio or Ted Cruz, while Democrats nominate “the only one that I feel like is responding and speaking plain English,” then “yeah, I would consider it,” which Chamberlain deemed  “insane.”

Side Debate: Deport Mehdi Hasan?

Chamberlain argued strongly for denaturalizing and deporting foreign born “commies,” namely Mehdi Hasan, Ilhan Omar, and the like.

Recently naturalized citizens who are hostile to the United States, he said, should lose their citizenship, saying, “Communism is where everything has its limit.”

Hasan may suck, Mills countered, but he’s not a communist.“Do you think Mehdi Hasan is a Marxist-Leninist… who has deep opinions about Trotsky versus Stalin?” Mills added that deporting legal residents over heated political disputes is a dangerous path and against the “American Spirit”.

Chamberlain still held that Hasan is “extraordinarily hostile to America and its interests… I think that he should be deported. He’s a British Islamist.”
