Love how we just throw out words like regime, now we are completely watering down words, which is insanity, but it is what it is. I can't help but laugh at how y'all attack me for being transparent. I could have lied, I could have hidden what I do for work, but that's not me. I am honest and transparent, and if I don't know an answer when people ask, I look into it and get back to them.
Iran is internationally known for supporting terror networks and proxies. After all, they have been busted operating in the U.S., trying to assassinate not only American political leaders but also a dissident in New York City.
Trump also told them if you kill the protesters, there will be severe consequences.... welp, look at those consequences. The former supreme leader also, while we were in negotiations, kept threatening our troops and ships in the area. Today, the idea that Iran doesn't provide a threat just isn't true. Do they have the ability to strike the U.S. mainland in a conventional military action? No. Could they via terror attacks/assassinations? Absolutely, after all we have caught them doing so over the last few years.
The idea that Israel controls U.S. policy is a played-out antisemitic idea that goes back 100 years. It's just another sad attempt to discredit a country that is the only democracy in the region, and that has been a linchpin for stability. I don't recall them ever asking Hamas or Hezbollah to attack them? Who launched the first strikes? Hamas, Hezbollah, and even the Houthis. Did you forget that during the Houthis' random firing at ships, they were hitting ships that had nothing to do with Israel; they were just disrupting trade, which under international law is illegal.
How long has it been now that we have been told a recession or depression is coming? Oh yeah that's from Trump's first term. I don't love the guy, but amazingly, every time he is in office, the economy is ending, but when Biden caused 9% inflation, which dramatically crushed the middle and lower class, the voices of impending doom were much quieter and were from people who were labeled as exaggerators/liars/propagandists.
Iran doesn't have the friends that people act as they do. Saudi Arabia is actually the key player in why this won't spread because of the nuclear umbrella they are under with.... Pakistan. Mutual defense treaty right there, and it would easily start a ground war without the need of the U.S. If things were to kick off, China would be the first to start acting to contain because they need the oil from Iran, but they also have way too much invested in Pakistan via the Belt and Road to allow it to collapse due to war. Since Iran has no friends in the region, they have no way to actually survive if this war you talk about kicks off. China knows a nuclear war means no one wins, and they can move to get into good graces with the next Iranian government to get the oil that they need while stabilizing the countries that house their billions upon billions in investments.
The axis of evil that we once thought was emerging turned out to be a paper tiger, like the Russian military. Russia is overextended, and that is why it is suffering increasing defeats in Ukraine (in February, Ukraine had a net gain in territory for the first time in a year or more), and China doesn't want its investments to blow up across Southeast Asia and Africa, where oil and LNG from the Strait of Hormuz go.
In the U.S., war serves as something that gets us out of a Depression. Yes, WWI was a factor for the Great Depression, but it wasn't the only thing. Plus, it ignited the "roaring 20s." Then, U.S. policy was terrible and caused the Depression, which we only got out of because of WWII. The economics show you that the New Deal wasn't working, but war did.
The people voted for an end to Forever Wars. Not sure how something 4 weeks long is forever. Guess a new definition dropped.
There are a ton of shortcomings with this Administration, but what isn't up for debate is that the President does act when he says he is going to. Foreign Affairs wise time and time again he clearly broadcasts what he is going to do and give those acting up time to chill out, and if they don't or they murder 50k of their own citizens after telling him they won't.... welp it doesn't end well for them.
More fedslop government propaganda as usual. Just in case anyone doesn't know, @Cje95 has stated previously that he actually works for the current regime in Washington DC.
Why the hell are we even attacking Iran, @Cje95?
Not because it poses a threat to the US. But because Israel wants us to, to further the "Greater Israel" project. Israel is the tail wagging the dog. They have managed, via blackmail (Epstein and others) to control US foreign policy. And now they're dragging us into another quagmire of a war, and one with even more potential to start World War III. And a worldwide depression.
This was a war of aggression by the US and Israel. Bullied/pressured/coerced by Israel, the US is now involved in another insane Middle East war, exactly the OPPOSITE of what people voted for.
