📰 Truman Security Fellow Susannah Cunningham for the @houstonchronicle.com: “Unless Texans who are fed up with sending their children off to more forever wars stop Paxton, he'll ensure that Texans will continue to be shipped off indefinitely” Read here: bit.ly/4y2trFl

How long will our wallets empty out for the Iran war?

"When Houstonians fill up their tank and it costs them 14 cents more per gallon than a week ago, they have the Iran war to thank," writes Susannah Cunningham.

The problem with war is not that it began at an inconvenient time for politicians like Ken Paxton. It is that war carries enormous human costs, like the 18 service members killed in action so far. Responsible leaders need to take decisions about war and peace seriously. #Iran
