End the Iran War, Restore NATO Readiness, and Remove Hegseth

End the Iran war now. Since February 28, this conflict has cost $47 billion, pushed oil to $116 a barrel, and stretched our military across the Persian Gulf while Europe's clock ticks toward a 2030 NATO-Russia confrontation. Voters sent that message on Tuesday. Listen to it. Four allied governments, including Britain, Germany, and NATO's own Secretary-General, have converged on the same warning: Russia could be in a position to attack NATO by the end of this decade. Britain has launched a national preparedness campaign and its Defence Secretary has given a 1,000-day deadline. Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth has pulled 5,000 troops from Germany, cancelled a brigade deployment to Poland mid-stream, and is reportedly recommending a further cut of 25,000 to 40,000. Every carrier group tied up at Hormuz is one that is not in the North Atlantic. That is not strategy. That is negligence. The U.S. commander in Europe, Gen. Alex Grynkewich, told Congress that Russia remains capable of threatening the American homeland. His own department is gutting his force. Demand accountability for this recklessness, push to end the Iran war through the power of the purse, and insist on a defense posture that takes the 2030 threat seriously. Our allies are preparing their citizens for what comes next. Washington should be doing the same.
