All these people are a joke. They won’t stop any of the worst policies that they themselves created and no one asked for except their American people hating donors. They will never claim responsibility for what they’ve done or continuing to do. Personally, I don’t believe any of them are Christians. They prove their not by their own actions and this is another example. They all belong to the cults of Mammon and Sodom.
I was puzzled when this man was picked to be SOTH because I had never heard of him at all. So, I didn’t really know how he was singled out from all who could have been considered. When I heard about his hard stance with Israel, all my questions were answered. Politicians with dual citizenship with Israel (or any other country) should be exiled. That would pretty much empty DC out.
I've already given up on the possibility of a politician who's not interested in perpetuating a foreign conflict for whatever reason. All these people's campaigns are paid by defense companies, foreign lobbyists, and other interests. They have to show to care about "supporting allies," "spreading democracy," and "fighting oppressors," or else they lose their benefactors.
Trump was independent of all this--the big reason his opponents continue to hate him the passion of a thousand suns. He rightly sees that our intervention in foreign conflicts can be light or nonexistent. He never needed to make elaborate arguments about respecting our commitments or sustaining some global order. It was just common sense that we seek peace whenever possible, even when neutralizing bad actors (e.g. bankrupting Russia or Iran by pumping our own oil and enforcing sanctions). War was expensive, destructive, and ineffective at resolving underlying issues.
I'm not sure Johnson is a war-hawk desperately seeking WWIII. It seems like he's go-along-get-along kind of person and parrots what's popular at the time. Israel is at war right now--and to be fair, what the Hamas terrorists did seems far worse than what Russia did to Ukraine--and it's popular to give them money. I'd be surprised if he keeps up the funding for Ukraine, which is no longer popular. I heard/read he was setting conditions for the money. Knowing how stupid and corrupt the Ukrainians and their supporters are, this is essentially the same thing as saying that they won't receive substantial funding anymore.
Arguing against funding Israel altogether is tricky though. Doing so makes us look like we're pro-Hamas--and many of the Left actually are. I'd hope that Johnson would try to find a way to support Israel without throwing money at them, but this seems unlikely.
At most, we can hope that Israel wipes out Hamas, dissolves these failed Palestinian states, and take steps to incorporate these states into the nation so that this cycle doesn't keep repeating. That might be bad for business and may upset Palestinian shills, but this would finally end the problem. Nothing else will be enough.
This Israeli citizen interpretation is quite recent, and basically rigged up by Lee Atwater in the '80s to tie Christians to Reagan.
Obviously the earliest Christians were firmly antiwar and against all types of empire.
From Quakers to Mennonites, the Christians who came to America to practice their faith were specifically antiwar. They had to leave Europe BECAUSE they were against all wars.
So the association of warmongering with Christianity is a betrayal of the original reason for being here.
This is why I think there is a shadowy cabal underneath everything. We aren’t choosing the best people, they have no loyalties to us. Something is happening to let them get away with deliberatly deciding the opposite of voters and they are never held accountable for these actions. It’s political theater.

Great passionate writing.
Thank you!
The system won’t fix itself.
that's where we come in.

Why should any American care about Hamas?
I don’t think most Americans care about either side. Let them fight their own battles. But yes, particularly Hamas and Hezbolla.

Lots of Christians in early America were more than willing to fight wars... but not for other countries!

So…where are our blessings?
With blessings we’ve been getting the last 60 years, who need curses?
Jesus freaks love war and imperialism
You missed my point.
And? Why isn't that $14 billion going towards the wall?
