2020 KS Senatorial race: on War & Peace


Dave Lindstrom: Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world

Iran is the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world. The Obama Administration's Iran Deal was a disaster. Iran has continued to show aggression to Israel and the United States. Iran is also the largest threat against Saudi Arabia, the largest country in the Arab World. President Trump has also brought great leadership by strategically bringing Saudi Arabia, an enemy to Israel for many years, to the peace table with Israel.

The U.S. must not support the creation of a new state where terrorism is financially incentivized. President Trump signed into law the Taylor Force Act in 2018, a bill that stops U.S. economic aid to the Palestinian Authority until they cease paying stipends through the Palestinian Authority Martyr's Fund to individuals who commit acts of terrorism and to the families of deceased terrorists. I support this legislation. This decisive action will help bring an end to senseless killing.

Dave Lindstrom: Measure military success with clearly articulable goals

The term "endless wars" is often used to describe lengthy conflicts. War is not a TV sitcom to be resolved in 30 minutes. Rather, achieving clearly articulable goals identified prior to the engagement must be the measure by which military operations are assessed and executed--and these operations should then be executed in the most effective, most expeditious manner. Our military should not be deployed any longer than is necessary to achieve the stated outcome.
