US interests

You keep using that term, but what are the US interests in the region besides propping up Israel?

It can’t be oil because we have more than enough oil from domestic and other sources.

It can’t be trade because neither Chinese nor European ships travel through the Middle East on their way to the US.

This map from Google images is old but I think things are more or less the same excluding Syria - I don’t know where they stand.

Syria should be assigned "wildcard" status

Say thank you. Go ahead.

Oy vey, wouldn't it be a shame if we crashed your economy into third world resource extraction and agrarianism? Or got your cities turned into glowing craters?

In all seriousness we should, but there's no way there isn't punishment from the chosenites

We've got a sea-to-sea continent with almost every kind of environment and resource you could ask for, they've got a shithole in the sand. If we're the proxy then there's a good reason for that; because they need us more than we need them.

He did? Is there a quote of him denying that Iran sponsors proxy groups?

Fox News is wall to wall with dead-eyed politicians telling you that Iran is a dangerous “sponsor of terror.” Softening up the base for a war. But what exactly does that phrase mean, and how does it apply to the United States? Here’s one measure: over the past twenty years, how many Americans have been killed by Iran on American soil? Try to find that number, and then compare it to the number of Americans killed by drug ODs. Or suicide. Or illegal aliens. Or carjackings, diabetes and the Covid vax. Still think Iran is the greatest threat? How about we focus on our own country for a minute.

very clearly calling the phrase into question and downplaying it.

US guarantees world trade through the US navy securing the worlds major trade routes like the Suez.

America's biggest security threat after niggers, are libshits.

I realized that after I read the shitty scifi series written by Breadtube's un-official queen, Lindsay Ellis.

The main character of Lindsay's book series was a BPD-suffering Timothy McVeigh-fangirl & the series ended with the main characters planning a Day of the Rope to purge congress of Jews baby eating lizard people that secretly controlled the federal government, the actual cause of all world conflicts.

Imagine if a MAGA supporter wrote a book like that? They would have been immediately arrested by the FBI for sedition/encouraging domestic terrorism.

But since Lindsay is a libtard, she was given free reign to fedpost write a book that portrays violently overthrowing congress as a good thing.

I agree he calls the phrase "Iran is a sponsor of terror" into question. He is questioning how it applies to the United States. Specifically, he questioned how many Americans were literally killed on US soil.

I agree he downplays "Iran is a sponsor of terror" in comparison to other issues. Specifically, he seems to think drug ODs, suicide, illegal aliens, carjackings, diabetes, and the Covid vax are more important than Iran being a sponsor of terror. More broadly he seems to be saying issues inside America are more important than Iran being a sponsor of terror.


At no point does he say Iran is not a sponsor of terror (which would include proxy groups).

My reading is that he views issues inside of America as more important than Iran's sponsoring of terror.

very clearly calling the phrase into question and downplaying it.

Only because you're deliberately misinterpreting his statement. He does not deny that Iran sponsors terrorist groups, he only says that those groups have not attacked American soil.

Americans no longer care if one group of religious zealots bombs another group of religious zealots in the Middle East. You yourself have said that you would prefer it if the US stops providing military aid to Israel and that Israel buys its own weapons, which is THE SAME THING THAT TUCKER WANTS.

What's the big deal if Iran has nukes. They will use them on Israel not US

That's not something I'm willing to bet a major US city on.

Sorry I just had to make that dumb reference. Can’t believe that dumb song is a decade old. Time flies.

Really, the whole "it's just Israel and Iran" argument is laughable. Does anyone with a room temperature IQ and above think that a nuclear confrontation between the two of them can be safely contained and won't lead to a myriad of highly unpleasant downstream consequences?

I am pleased to report that Second-Best Korea is full of freedom-loving American patriots. Many red hats, "Stop the Steal" signs, and Old Glories to be seen at their mostly peaceful protests.

I was just talking to a Korean dude about this, at first I was confused that there were American flags being waved and people wearing red hats that looked like MAGA hats (the hats say something like "against unconstitutional impeachment) for a South Korean President being released.

To be honest, seeing the English text "STOP THE STEAL" in a country that speaks mostly Korean reminded me of that one picture of some progressive protest in a foreign country where the banner has large English text but the native language text is smaller (i.e. probably funded by the West and meant for the West to look at). It might be legit though, this Korean article a friend sent me about Yun's release said over 600 of his supporters showed up to said release.


(Translated screenshot, article is in Korean)

Now frankly I don't know much about Korean politics, but from what my friend told me, he said that Yun's political party is a right-leaning party which has similar values to the American right, so if that's true, no wonder Korean Yun supporters like / align with Trump.

Wait until he gets a taste of what the IRS has done to many conservatives and conservative-leaning groups.

All of them you fucking retard. I may think a substantial number of people on the east and west coasts are idiots but that doesn't mean I want them to die.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.
