Why should they get their money

pretending Iran isn't a regional hegemon is silly and counter productive

diplomacy - a pushover move

lol

Literally an evil country

chaotic evil?

They aren't evil, they are fairly reasonable and wililng to talk to us

what is americas alignment?

A stable Iraq without Iran's help is impossible

They are terrorist supporters

driving Iran into Russia's arms was stupid

And attack ships

america does both of those too

shit

And have Islamic theocracy

But let’s give them billions

Smart

we don't need to convert them in our image, just talk to them

They dont sponsor terror and haven't for a long time

the us could learn from them then

I don’t believe that

Saudi Arabia is the real sponsor of terror

Saudi shouldn’t be our ally

The Iranians are meticulous, they don't fuck around

They’re evil as well

sad

"russian style"

```“The communications strategies pioneered by the Russians have migrated to become strategies that the far right, [and] white supremacists, use in this country, and strategies that politicians use in this country on their own voters,” said one attender.

```

lol

That's how I feel about every convo in here

I think we should do a population exchange, let the authoritarians move to Russia and let the more american-like Russians move here

```Here was Jordan's argument:

We needed to make sure Ukraine is not corrupt, so we witheld the military aid and asked them to do something corrupt, and they didn't do that corrupt thing (although they were about to), so they passed the test and got the aid.

Also the people here don't have direct knowledge, but we are not calling for the people with direct knowledge to testify. Also we need the whistleblower, who has no first hand knowledge, to testify.

Also we have no idea who the whistleblower is, but we are also sure they are a Biden ally and a Democrat who hates the President.```

Did Republicans raise any valid points during the hearings?

Or was it all theatrics and banging on the table?

I watched a decent amount, it was very bad

It might fool some of their base though, because they are good at making irrelevant points seems relevant(to their people)

I only watched some bits and pieces, but it did look like a complete circus on their behalf.

Nunes was an embarrassment as usual.

So was Steve Castor.

And I am getting the feeling that there's an organized effort in discouraging the neutral viewer from even participating in the hearings.
