Congressman Massie introduces bill to 'prohibit US involvement in Israel-Iran conflict'
2025-06-18
[GEO.TV] A member of Trump's Republican Party, Congressman Thomas Massie has introduced a measure that would require the US president to seek the approval of Congress before attacking Iran.

The bill orders Trump to "terminate" any attacks on Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
that are not authorised by politicians, Al Jazeera reported.

Yesterday, a similar measure was introduced in the Senate.

While the proposed legislation would likely face a presidential veto if Congress approves it, advocates say the effort could add to the pressure Trump is facing from opponents of war with Iran.

#5  He is one of the very few politicians who refuses to accept funds from AIPAC. A conservative like Jim Jordan. Met him a few times and he’s articulate, numerate, well read and not afraid to stand alone if he stands behind his beliefs about what’s best for his constituents.

#4  Is Massie the kind of "libertarian isolationist" who will prioritize Islamic totalitarian doctrine over libertarianism and isolationism?
