OPINION:
Relying on simplistic sound bites, Democrats have courted the simple-minded with the proposition that ending the war in Iran will end inflation without any consequences.
While it is true that the war has increased gasoline and diesel prices and added to Bidenomics inflation, simply ending the war would allow Iran to reclaim its stock of 60% enriched uranium, which could be further enriched but also be immediately used in making dirty bombs.
Furthermore, Iran could continue its rapid development of an intercontinental ballistic missile program (ICBM) capable of reaching the U.S. mainland. It could pursue the dual use of multi-stage missiles in the Iranian space program and work with North Korea on the Hwasong-17 and Hwasong-18 ICBM systems.

Placating Iran is no longer a question of handing it planeloads of palletized cash to fund Hamas and Hezbollah.
At the same time, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) would rely on insurrectionism and ethnic tribalism, allowing entry into the U.S. to anyone and everyone and bankrupting capitalist society by unsustainably handing out everything for free.
This contingent would also make people on private health insurance pay for Medicare for All, and it would “seize the means of production” under the presumption that a government of elitists who believes themselves socialists can run farms and industry better than those who have run them for decades.
Meanwhile, socialism and communism have only ever survived by subjugating the masses and as many ethnic populations as possible.
Count on Democrats for disastrous pandering to the simple minded.
