No bro this US war in the middle east will be completely different, bro. See, this time the regime we’re trying to get rid of is REALLY BAD!
No no, this is nothing like all those other times. This time military interventionism to topple an oil-rich government in west Asia will lead to peace and democracy. Our soldiers will be greeted as liberators!
You don’t understand, bro. This time the government and the media are telling us the truth! This time the regime really IS committing mass atrocities and they really ARE trying to build weapons of mass destruction.
I know you think this will be a disaster like all those other US military interventions in the region, but you see, unlike all those other times, this time there are many foreign policy analysts from highly respected think tanks and mass media outlets assuring us that it will go perfectly fine.
Maybe it’s just me, I can’t see that image for what it is until I focus!
What it it is: painted fists tied in rope.
What I see: two painted bones with rope arms posing for their pre-boxing match promotion…
It’ll be different from Iraq in that Iran is 3x larger and substantially better armed.
Tim Heidecker and Aaron Eckhart?
Certains companies, elites and the military-industrial complex will profit from the war. Iraq may have been an unintentional mistakes even though I doubt that. Libya and syria outcome are definitely what the usa and nato planned
There is no realpolitik. There is only Israel.
This is whitewashing the American empire . The American empire has it own reasons for attacking Iran like I said the American elites and massive international companies always profited from wars like the Iraq war and having control of the straight of Hormuz would be used weapons Russia and China
At some point leftists are going to have to swallow that there is no American geopolitical interest and the only reason Trump is threatening to blow up oil prices worldwide during an incredibly precarious time for the US and global economy is Israel.
American imperialism is over 170 years older then the creation of the terrorist state of Israel . You are unconsciously white washing the American empire
American imperialism has been fully hijacked and infiltrated. American imperialism in the Middle East hasn’t served American interests since the 2000’s. Should have been blatantly obvious to anyone when Israel bombed Qatar.
Again the USA elites, the military industrial complex and international massive corporations always made money from middle east wars . Seems like you believe the elite ever cared about the American people The USA never cared about it’s allies either it always backstab them when it benefits the elites. If Israel has full control on the USA Trump would just give Gaza to Israel completely instead of doing business and try to enrich himself with his stupid “peace” deal and board of “peace”
Small cutbacks exist everywhere but the point of imperialism is to steal something. Yes endless wars are fun for the MIC but if they wanted free money they could send those weapons to Ukraine and look like the good guys instead of destroying the entire sham liberal world order charade they spent decades building up.
Once again, nobody will ever be able to explain why Israel was allowed to bomb Qatar, which is basically fully subscribed to US weapons and protections so this would never happen. Israel on the other hand isn’t like other countries in the region. Israel gets free US money. And they are even allowed to spend the US weapons money on their own weapons instead of the American MIC. This destroys the argument that this is all about maximizing profits for the American MIC.
Of course we also need to ignore Epstein, AIPAC and all the other Zionist lobbies for the argument of “realpolitk” to make sense.
Yeah, to protect the protesters, we overplayed through the western media the size of the protests, and did all we could to help them happen and continue, tried to make them violent, and associated them with the enemy that for all intents and purposes they’ve been at war with for a couple of years.
So they would get crushed in the rally around the flag effect Iran is experiencing from being attacked by the all powerful enemy they just watched carry out capricious reprisals against their cousins in Gaza and elsewhere under false pretenses with abandon.
So to defend the freedom of Iranian protesters, we are going to bomb them and assassinate their leaders, don’t worry, after getting further attacked by those carrying out genocides the protesters will rise up and reinstitute the Shah as a western puppet! It’s not like it’s all in bad faith and we are using those protesters as a cause to start our forever war. /S
We in this case being Israel using their epstein blackmail to force the US to start the conflict that Israel will reignite every time they need a domestic political boost finding some pretext to assassinate some more Iranians, blow up more of their infrastructure, and the US, in this case sitting in the gimp suit in the cuck chair while Israel rapes it’s captor and says it’s consensual.
I see what you’re saying here. But also, the regime is really bad.
the us has murdered at least 150 people in small boats in the caribbean since september(in addition to MANY other atrocities in that same timeframe). thats quite a poor record for a country that wants to play world police.
Let’s not forget the millions of death the USA is responsible for in Gaza, Sudan, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Cuba either with supporting proxies , direct illegal wars and sanctions
Bro good point Iran should overthrow the US regime.
That would please some, I’m sure.
The usa and israel are a hundred times worse. Was Saddam regime good?
A hundred times worse, eh. Le sigh. The US is definitely not doing well right now. But it still mostly has functioning institutions and largely has women’s rights…
Le sigh.

Of course you only cares about Americans not all the millions of victims from the USA and Israel terrorism
Attacking them will cement them in power as they rally around the flag, the point is moot.
