Fetterman Voted With GOP to Make Sure Trump Can Attack Iran Again

Most Democrats rallied behind a war powers resolution in the Senate, but not the caucus’s most vocally pro-Israel member.

...

“President Trump seized the moment — responsibly, constitutionally, and decisively,” said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., the majority whip, on the Senate floor. “America and our allies are safer today because of it. The resolution from Senator Kaine is not needed — and I oppose it. If passed, it would prevent the president from protecting us in the future.”

The strikes revealed divisions within the Democratic caucus. Progressives largely opposed the strikes outright, while some pro-Israel Democrats offered qualified or full support. One of the most full-throated boosters was Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who voted against Kaine’s resolution.

Fetterman has emerged as a leading proponent of the use of military force against Iran.

“Blow it up! Blow it up! I think we should waste what’s left of their nuclear facilities,” he said in March. His aggressive stance has alienated former donors, who have requested refunds, and staffers, who have resigned at a steady pace.
...

I support Trump's actions against Iran.  The leaders of Iran are hostile not only to Israel but also to America.   Fetterman gets that, and the rest of the Senate Democrats do not.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
