Explain reasons for war

Americans deserve clear justification before being drawn into another war in the Middle East. Without an imminent threat, such a decision demands careful explanation and transparency.

There remain unresolved public questions surrounding the Epstein files and past allegations involving former President Donald Trump. Given that reality, any sudden military action risks being viewed by many as an attempt to shift attention away from those concerns.

Public trust depends on honesty and accountability. When lives are at stake, Americans must be confident that decisions of war are made solely to protect the nation, not to serve political or personal interests.
