I like this direct no nonsense, no bullshit approach.

“My blood pressure went through the roof when I heard that, because that pisses me off. I mean, to say, ‘Sure, sure we’re going to bomb another country. Sure, we’re going to start a — potentially another regime change war in the Middle East,’” Ryan, who served in the Army during the Iraq War, said.

“And I was on the receiving end of 27 months in combat in Iraq, where I lost friends and many innocent Iraqis lost their lives. Look, the regime in Iran is evil, and I don’t use that term lightly. We know that, and doing what we can to support the brave people rising up against their government, is what we should do,” the New York Democrat added.

Ryan later responded to a clip of his earlier appearance on CNN, saying “[d]amn right it pissed me off.”

“Unlike the Senator, I’ve actually seen combat in the Middle East. It’s really easy to sit at home in a hoodie and casually suggest starting a war. It’s a lot harder to do the work required to actually bring peace,” Ryan added in a Monday afternoon post on the social platform X.”
