It is the mullahs, not Iran. If they go, that country could join our side. With the Shah we had an ally, where women did not cover their heads! That country is still there, perhaps.
Does he actually think that the Biden admin. would get Congress’s approval beforehand? Don’t hold your breath J.D.
“Where do you stand on a potential war with Iran?”
Potential war with Iran? You do know Iran has been At War with America/The West (ie Killed Americans) since 1979. You know that, right? Beirut Bombing 1983,Khobar Towers 1996, IED attacks in Iraq, ring a bell?
Maybe just MAYBE it might be time for both sides to fight?
“They indoctrinate their people just as much as our government to does to us.”
Worse, A lot Worse.
We have spent enough blood and treasure in the Middle East. I believe the Persian threat to the homeland is an invention to drag us back over there.
Never again.
"It" is no option at all.
The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki occurred at the END of a long and bloody war which depleted Japan's manpower and resources.
Use of nuclear weapons against Iran would be completely different.
Hillary Clinton a leading Neo Con who gleefully promoted the wars in Libya and Syria in 2011 she got excited over the killing of Moammar Qadaffi in the Libyan War.
Peter Thiel (like many others in the Silicon Valley elite) has disdain for people. He believes people are too stupid to rule themselves and must be put under the wise rule of their betters. He thinks he is one of these betters.
That is why he feels sympathy for all the tyrannical places, where such neo-feudalist structures are in place and who promote such structures. The most prominent (but not the only one) building this is Putin. Putin is the Czar and has his Counts and Barons within Russia and dependent territories.
Thiel thinks he could be a Count to start with and due to his superior intelligence would surely Machiavelli himself to eventually be near supreme power.
Can you give me some links where he says that?
I’ll look too. However, since you say he thinks this you probably know where to look and can find it faster.
You’re playing games here. It’s like when a Sophisticated Jew-hater says they want “Palestine from a river to the sea” you’d demand their direct statement where they demand the massacre of all Jews. After all they might imagine this results in a multicultural paradise!
These games are both easy to play and stupid.
Actually, I was curious what was said that could be interpreted that way direct or otherwise.
So, you’d rather respond like an ass then be collegial. Ok fine!
