The Swamp may even be in cahoots with the rulers of Iran, as both would profit from a protracted war with Iran.
Question EVERYTHING.
What is evil about “Iranian-backed”? Who is “US-backed” that does bad things? Is Iran interested in supporting Sunni organizations, vs Shiite?
Is the only reason for a US presence there to retain US influence? Why is US influence there desired?
Is the US dependent on Middle East oil? Is Europe stationing troops in the region?
Now wait a minute right there! Are you saying our leaders might be on the take and siding with other nations like China, Russia, Ukraine, and Iran? Well, as the man said it, "son-of-a-bitch, that explains everything!"
