*sigh*, so they're doing it again. Corporate media and a lot of insiders in both parties are starting to try to manufacture consent for a war in Iran. Such a war would be a disaster. Yes, we could beat Iran. However, we'd be stuck there for years after "nation building", with Iran itself being a much larger country than Iraq or Afghanistan, and it being mountainous like Afghanistan. It would be a nightmare for US troops. It would cost billions a year. And for what? Israel? Oil? Those seem to be the big rationales.
I know theres been talk of Carney rejecting an oil deal after Trump tried to bully him into it. And that's gonna hurt us. We just invaded Veneuzela for oil but apparently we wont have the infrastructure to capitalize on that for years and some oil guy commented recently that if we wanted oil, we could've just attacked Iran. And Israel also wants to attack Iran. Again. And you know how we cater to Israel for some reason. It's ridiculous. Im getting to the point I wanna cut ties with Israel and throw them to the wolves. I really do. I was initially supportive of allying with them on the basis of mutual defense, shared values, but this relationship really isn't working out. They're bullying us into doing their dirty work and I'm sick of it. And honestly, Netanyahu is a war criminal who should be tried in the Hague. So yeah.
I don't want this. I don't want another war. We've seen enough of these wars in my lifetime and they all end the same. With our national debt going up and thousands of troops dying for no reason. And at best, for what? Oil? oil we wouldnt even need if we treated our actual allies properly? (Sorry, Canada). Like come on. I'm so over this crap at this point.
Ya know the CONCEPT of "America first" as in just withdrawing and sitting in our little introvert caves sounds good about now, but in reality these "America first" people are imperialist psychos. I guess the real America first was the Biden foreign policy minus the Israel support. Support our allies, but mostly stay out of crap. That's what I want.
