Like all who lack moral integrity and conscience, Gabbard is a sociopath. She's shown she'll do anything for power and sell whatever humanity she has to attain it. Gabbard has shown her true self - not the person who supposedly fought for peace but the obsequious war monger and facilitator of murder the US now has.
You outline what Gabbard has done and said in the past but fall short of addressing what she’s not doing today. You also fail to acknowledge the deeply entrenched system she’s up against — one with long-standing ties and policies between the U.S., Europe, and Israel that dates back decades. Expecting her to create immediate change overlooks the reality of how complex and deeply seeded Israeli policy is, and how limited any one person’s power can be within it.
This is a fair comment. Anyone still in an administration whether Trump’s or anyone else’s, is expected to stay on board publicly. Tulsi, as some others, may well have advised Trump against this move.
And your other point is well taken. The deep state is appropriately named. Cleaning them out was never going to be easy. Those coming down on Gabbard are off target. It’s Trump who appointed Rubio and others with neocon leanings. It’s Trump who listens to Sen Graham, Cruz and the Mark Levin crazies of the world.
I don't think it's as much her opposing the neocons in the past, and now buying in, as it is that Israel, not direct US weaponry let alone troops, is doing the heavy lifting right now (though we're giving Israel an assist). And since BIden signed off while Israel first wrecked Gaza, then Syria, there's far less chance Bibi drags the US into having to actually do something now, than was the case under Trump 1.0.
In short, this is a mix of opportunism and following the boss' orders, as I see it. Not so much hypocrisy.
Now, if Trump sends a bunch more weapons to Ukraine and she doesn't push back, maybe call her a hypocrite, especially if that so increases the tension with Russia that other things could happen.
I feel and resonate with your sentiments, but humbly suggest you have not reviewed the laws, rules and means by which we - including Tulsi - work. We are NOT at war with Iran. Israel is. And since before the Bush administrations, we have been dominating the world by exporting proxy wars, with us supplying the munitions and weapons… for ‘defense’ purposes.
Similarly, WE the people didn’t wipe out the people of Gaza. Just because we gave billions of our tax dollars and borrowed billions of dollars so Israel can buy munitions and weapon systems from certain 🇺🇸 companies, cannot be seen within our laws to mean we caused genocide or human rights violations. Neither political party is making use of the few laws they might to align the strongest wealthiest government and our public-private partnerships with international laws.
But why would anyone expect our lawmakers to respect ethical common laws or basic human rights defined by others?
We are almost the laughingstock of the world. But the weapons dealers driving the stock markets and equipping someone else or a drone to point a gun or worse at the head of anyone that our Generals please, are not laughing. It’s just their job for our defense.
And don’t blame Israel IDF or Generals for acting against the will of their people. That requires our patriotic censors sponsored mass media and the paid Congress people to conflate religion and national identity to call you out as antisemitic.
So Tulsi may be helping to keep our people off the ground as promised. There are no American human remains in Gaza. It’s just Mossad on the ground in Iran..
The only war we can really see is what we allow the kids and entertainment seekers to see in movies and video games. It’s business, being taken over by bots, mechanical dogs with guns, or drones and AI. Imagine, it’s just you as a Marvel-ous hero, fighting for who knows what, and forget about Ukraine.
It’s just the American-made system. Garbage in and garbage out. Sort of like Whitewashed trash?
How sickening.? We can’t blame Tulsi.. neither should you unless you are paid to do so. In which case, pardon me (or thank me?) for commenting.
From what I've seen over the past week, it looks like she is being iced out a bit and not listened to by Trump. Her in March stated that Iran still does not have nuclear weapon and they do not seem to be planning to make one. Also, she was not included in the Camp David planning session and when asked, Trump said he doesn't care what she says. Personally if I were her I'd resign, but I'm not ready to write her off yet.
Yeah, lots of information here about her speaking out against the war. Where’s the evidence that she is anything more than being silent in that regard as war escalates. How about exposing why. What intimidation is going on behind the scenes? How smug to brand her a turncoat without looking into the evil behind the curtain.
She RECENTLY went to Hiroshima to do a Hollywood production personal video displaying how despicable America is. However the government director of intelligence website says she did not go to Hiroshima. Two days after she releases her bizarre video Israel attacks Iran. Just a coincidence. Sure.
I remembered her from televised democratic party debates and I was hoping she would be advocating that the US not invade and bomb etc.....I guess that didn't happen....
Of course she is. I remember Jimmy Dore getting behind her, then getting embarrassed, badly. She's an opportunist. She switches parties as often as she changes her policy positions. If she believed in ANYTHING she claims to believe in, this would be her position: FUCK THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM. As phony as Bernie, as phony as Ro Khanna, and every other phony red and blue dog in Congress.
You listed endless instances of what she's said against it then followed by she now supports it with zero examples given. Weak sauce you may ss well get of substack and go work for MSM.

Thank you for your research and reasoning, which makes your words understandable and persuasive.

The reality is that Tulsi Gabbard has always been a Hindutva-fascist Islamophobe. I knew that a full decade ago. Everything about her and US foreign policy has to start there. https://socraticgadfly.blogspot.com/2016/03/sandernistas-tulsi-gabbard-bigotry.html
And, she's been willing to get in bed with the Christian Religious Right on this. I mean, LONG ago, she spoke at one of John Hagee's events.
She's also NEVER been a "peace candidate," having vote for more nukes while in Congress, among other things. (Reason mag also called her out at that time.) https://socraticgadfly.blogspot.com/2019/09/no-tulsi-gabbard-is-not-peace-candidate.html

And since BIden signed off while Israel first wrecked Gaza, then Syria, there's far less chance Bibi drags the US into having to actually do something now, than was the case under Trump 1.0.
But, the Hindutva is going to be the bottom line, and India and Modi are fairly down on Iran right now, from what I've seen from informed Indians on Shitter. That said, Bibi and Modi have talked since the Israeli attack. Modi wants early peace, but probably because he's afraid of spillover to the east with high India-Pakistan tension right now. https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/israel-pm-netanyahu-briefs-modi-on-regional-affairs-after-strikes-on-iran-report-101749822452515.html

There is a need for team playing in the administration.
Not.everyone has to agree, but they do need to pull the cart in the same direction.

She’s American afterall and a politician. Spineless as flips positions. 🇺🇸🐁
I signed her 2020 petition.
