Pompeo also lied about the imminent threat yada yada
Here's the thing
There's a reason many in the ME don't like the US
Especially Iranians (although there are many Iranians who support the US)
There are certain things that the US has done which sparked this extremism and anti-Americanism
For Iranians a case would be shooting down Flight 655 Iran Air by a US warship
Or sanctioning Iran during the Iran-Iraq war whilst directly supporting Saddam
Yea that anti-Americanism didn't just pop out of thin air
our prodding of iran goes deep and long
Now the US had two chances in the last two decades to fix relations with Iran
First would be after 9/11 as Sh0t pointed out
The second was the Iran deal
In both cases, the majority of the Iranian population was hopeful and optimistic about starting on the way towards peace
So again where do you really think this anti-Americanism comes from?
Well, I know Obama propped them up during his presidency. Allowing them to continue terrorist weapon dev. I’m glad that Trump is taking a stand. Look at this logically people! Stop getting stuck on wild goose chases.
This sounded a bit like "open your eyes, sheeple!".
Terrorist weapons development?
What does that even mean?
A war industry?
Almost every nation has that
@Yusa Do you know Saudis also heavily invest into terrorism? Sometimes with the weapons we sell them, which they don't even use for any long period?
"we want de-escalatin" "we want to sit down with iran and discuss a best approach"
So Esper and Iraqi PM are overtly in contradiction
@Puerto Rican Nelson Oh? Has Trump sold them any weapons? My sources say he hasn’t. They also say that he put sanctions on 17 Saudi officials.
Canada is not America, and is certainly not Trump.
@Yusa If this is news to you, then you have no sources at all. This happened right after Khasoggi, where Trump batted for the Saudis claiming nobody knew anything

He's going as far as telling congress to eat shit to do it

It won’t let me view the wiki page you linked me to.
He's also lied about how much money we'll make or how many jobs it will create

Building on the Saudi mega-deal – which independent analysts have determined may be as little as 10% as large as the $110 billion figure the president claims – Trump has thrown out incredible estimates of the U.S jobs generated by the Saudi sales, from 40,000 to 500,000 and up to one million if one counts related deals outside the military sphere. An estimate I did for a report by the Center for International Policy indicates that the real number of jobs generated by the roughly $2.5 billion a year in arms deliveries to Saudi Arabia over the past decade is likely 20,000 to 40,000 jobs, a tiny fraction of the more than 150 million jobs in the U.S. economy.
Oops, sorry, my bad...
One thing you need to know is that virtually every Middle Eastern power contributes to what the US will call terrorism.
You’re right. They’re all terrorists
