Oppose the War? You Could Be Arrested.

The speaker presents a warning about potential government persecution of war opponents in America. They claim that neoconservatives are already stating that if terror attacks occur in the United States as blowback from wars they advocated for, they will ensure that people who opposed those wars are arrested in connection with the attacks. The speaker criticizes this as illogical and characterizes it as using American deaths to settle political scores through government law enforcement agencies. They draw a parallel between this domestic threat and how foreign military interventions are used to settle disputes on other continents, suggesting both represent misuse of American resources for ulterior motives. The speaker argues that allowing the US government to arrest, persecute, investigate, and spy on American citizens for exercising their constitutional rights would be even worse than an Iran war itself. They conclude by suggesting that the implementation of a military draft would be a clear indicator that the situation has deteriorated significantly.
