Remind us how the state of Israel came into being and how all most of these sectarian conflicts emerged in the first place?
It’s an act of wilful lunacy to treat the root cause of all of your primary problems and existential threats as your saviour and lord, especially when they purposefully created and ruthlessly maintains those sources of conflict and threats as chains of slavery to allow themselves continued preferential access to your resources.
Or are you forgetting that Iran’s true original sin was to dare to overthrow their western backed royal rulers and have country that took the vast profits the western oil companies sees as their birthright and use it to give the ordinary citizens of Iran a better, fairer share?
You are literally advocating for the slaves to know their place and be grateful the masters allow them as much as they do.
This is especially problematic in today’s world when a certain other new superpower is offering you a whole new source of income and development model that actually promises fairer returns and no built in revenue clawback mechanism as is the case with western protection money requirements. So you can literally choose to have a better deal selling the same thing at the same price.
How much of Tehran have been damaged by the US-Israeli strikes btw?
To be completely fair and , Donald Trump is — for once — not wrong assuming he considers the various varieties of the JDAM "upper medium grade" munitions, and unguided bombs like the Mark 82 and Mark 84 "medium grade" munitions.
Within the context of the ongoing conflict with Tehran, the most salient bottleneck impacting Washington and Tel Aviv is the availability of air defense interceptors. Therefore, short of something dramatic occurring (e.g., Iranian nuclear breakout, impeachment and conviction of Trump), Israel and the US will remain in a fairly strong position to sustain ongoing strikes so long as the former is willing to bear costs imposed by Iran and its allies in retaliation.
The fact of the matter is that the US military does possess the means to conduct a protracted high intensity air campaign against Iran, especially given the current administration's willingness to water down long standing parameters governing rules of engagement.
This dilution of ROE will in turn translate to — for all practical purposes — an increase in USG tolerance for collateral damage (e.g., ), and an uptick in the deployment of readily available dumb bombs should the hot war with Iran drag on.
As former Fox News talking head, now US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth bluntly stated without mincing words like a Eurocrat: "no stupid rules of engagement."

Do you actually want to be president of the United States though? All the good ones end up dead (JFK/Lincoln) or at least have to survive assassination attempts (Teddy/Ronnie), rest are cucked figureheads
He sounds less like a Secretary and more like he’s still doing a Fox News segment.

Love how the interviewer's reaction to that professor explaining how the fall of the GCC would lead to the fall of the petrodollar, bursting of the AI bubble and collapse of US financial sector is, "right, like how they hit that AWS data center." Wonder if he is really clueless or just attempting to skirt around the subject. Professor seemed to be completely on point with his analysis up until the very end when he began talking about secret societies- I wonder if that was some kind of joke?
