Reposted by Andi McNewPete Buttigieg @petebuttigieg.bsky.social · 03/01/2026It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one. 16414241212291
