Sen. Kelly warns of 'greater risk' at home and abroad after US strikes on Iran

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), who retired as a captain in the U.S. Navy, warned Sunday of the “greater risk” to U.S. troops abroad and American citizens at home after the U.S. struck Iranian nuclear sites.

“Certainly, for the 40,000 troops in at least six countries in the Middle East — we have a lot of bases in the Middle East — those troops are now at greater risk,” Kelly said in an interview on NBC News’s “Meet the Press.”

“I think folks here at home as well are at greater risk,” he continued. “We could have, we could see terrorist attacks here. The Iranians still have a lot of proxies. They could go after us.”

“The escalatory factor of this action that was taken yesterday is significant,” he added.

he needs something else to ignite his Martial Law (or as MTG put it, Marshall Law!!!) by having American soldiers overseas attacked or terrorism here which will probably be counterfeited by Miller, anyway.
He needs to go.
Wonder how much "aid" we could get FROM Ukraine? I've got some ideas...
