We only get 10% of our oil from the Middle East now, and we are the world’s number 1 exporter.

Both Iran and Saudi Arabia do not like the U.S. because we are not Muslim society.

Saudi Arabia will talk to us though, and use our military might for their wars.

Right now our borders are getting flooded. Our National Debt is at an all time high. We have spent over 1 Trillion dollars in Afghanistan. Our country is going broke. It is Cloward–Piven strategy of financially breaking us is working.

The last thing we need is another Trillion dollar war that does not get us anywhere.

I am all for quick and devastating hits though. To scare the crap out of our enemies.

A long endless ground war is not the answer. Well according to the late McCain it should last around 100 years. This is what the Roman Empire did before it fell. Lets not make the same mistakes.

“This is what the Roman Empire did before it fell. Lets not make the same mistakes.’

For sure. And don’t forget what the Soviets’ long war in Afghanistan did to them.

If you can find it online, look for a video of John Bolton's speech in 2017 to a group of Iranian exiles known as MEK. The English translation of their name is the “People’s Mojahedin of Iran,” and they were actually considered a TERRORIST GROUP by the U.S. government until 2012.

One big problem we face right now is that our government is filled with war-mongering globalists who have been bought and owned by foreign interests for years. They own our government and they disseminate plenty of propaganda to serve their purposes.

Well, while we're on the subject of the ancient Romans, what really did them in since it applies here as well....

If Iran truly poses an existential threat to the US I have no problem with reducing the entire country to glowing radioactive glass. But they didn’t attack us. They allegedly attacked Saudi Arabia.

Personally I don’t doubt it was them at all.

We aren’t dependent on Saudi oil, Europe and Japan are. Let them fight for once. We still have our people in Kosovo in spite of Bill Clinton promising us they’d be out by Christmas in 1999.

The ME is a simmering pestilence ridden hell hole because of sectarian and tribal wars that have been going on for over a thousand years. We have virtually zero chance of “bringing peace” to that part of the world and we should stop pretending that we can.

Let them fight until there’s only two remaining muzzies. Then sell weapons to both of them. When there’s only one left standing we should kill him.
