Sen. Andy Kim: Trump once again started a cycle of violence that has already escalated and could spiral out of control.

Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim
Americans don’t want to go to war with Iran.

By launching strikes, President Trump has made the same dangerous and foolish decision President Bush did a generation ago. He put Americans in harm’s way without clearly showing there’s an imminent threat to our national security. He put the Iranian people in harm’s way by calling on them to rise up without a broad coalition of partners to assist in their protection. And Trump once again started a cycle of violence that has already escalated and could spiral out of control. This is unacceptable.

The Senate should vote on Senator Kaine’s War Powers Resolution immediately. I stand ready to do so today.

Tim Kaine @timkaine
Going to war with Iran would be the height of foolishness and idiocy. So why is Trump sending our sons and daughters into harm’s way with no valid reason?

I’ll do everything I can to stop him.
