That is bullshit

And in 2003 intel saying Iraq had wmds came from not just our allies but also Russia

Yes so we should follow the example set by Israel

Defend our border

Samson option, theft of nuclear fissile material, USS Liberty, illegal nuclear weapons state, repeatedly stole extremely sensitive information from America, was a prominent driver in Iraq, Gulf War, Afghanistan and presently Iran.

If we need more money take it from welfare

A lot of that intel from 2002-3 was from Israel

Yeah

Russia benefited strategically from the fall of Iraq.

They're goading us to intervene in Iran and Syria right now

It was then promptly vassalised by Iran.

Yep

Russia's ally.

They want to rule over that region

So they have to take out Iran

We should as well

+ they're responsible for the Lebanese Civil War also.

Why

Why should we care about the desert?

Extend our sphere of influence

No

Fuck that

Why not

They're a cancer and a redoubt for Jewish swindlers and criminals of the world.

Why should we?

That's misguided

A war on Iran/Syria would not benefit the US

Not through direct control we use puppet states

The Middle East is a powder keg and if you haven't realised the region is wholly cursed and will be America's grave, you're stupid.

No direct action

So how do you make that happen with Iran exactly?

I want to focus on defending my nation from an invasion. I don't care about the Middle East

Look to us coups in the Cold War that is what I am thinking of

Come on.

Why do we want coups

Regime change does not work buddy

Those cold war coups MASSIVELY contributed to why America has a drug problem.

Put pro us rulers in place (not democracies )

Libya

Reagan funded drug cartels against the communists.

If that was really plausible then it would've happened a long, long time ago.
