The US has to counterbalance Iran against the Gulf states alone?

We can be allies and not set up base and fight wars for them. If Japan got the US into a war with China or NK I would.be just as deranged about them.

The US doesn’t get to use Israel’s intelligence or surveillance architectures?

Oh so we’re allies but we don’t provide a security guarantee for them. Uhh… why would they ally with us again?

Yeah that sounds good. Iran will be far less volatile without this US Israel garbage in their back yard. Retract to the gulf on the terms that they dial it back.

You can provide a security guarantee. Dude we are attacking a capital for Israel. This is incomparable.

That netanyahu dick must go crazy even Jones cant get enough

It’s hilarious how you argue ā€œwell if we blow up Iran there’ll be a power vacuum and we’ll get something worse and who knows It’ll just be like the 2010s with ISILā€ but you see NO issue with like the United States, the largest power player in the area just going ā€œeh we’re outā€

When the pendulum swings back to the left and we start taking people's guns and whatever other shit you find extreme, remember this. That pendulum is swinging extra this way because netanyahu got daddy to bomb Iran.

You are so dumb dude. Like Iran and Russia are allies. What do you think is going to happen LMAO

You do realize there are other people at the gameboard?

Here’s a question: if we ditch Israel, what do you think they do? Who becomes their friend, who then gets a say into what they do militarily in the area?

I'll admit more than most leftists that security around the world is possible due to a balance of military power. But you keep ignoring my mentions of terms that require all parties to draw back hostilities. No one ever said just bounce and let everyone go wild.

Yeah I’m sure the world is the way it is because the US is le bad and if all sit down at the UN we can form globalist government utopia.

Yes to the latter not the former.

The idiotic anti-interventionist anti-imperialism drivel has made even the communists echo Trump rhetoric: what do we get out of the deal – they’re screwing us over!

How do you think you set up a security guarantee LMAO

Are you just going to airlift your army when the enemy attacks them. How do you even do the logistics of this? LMAO

its crazy how this guy is a constant stream of low iq takes and doesn't think people see him as a drooling plasma with a marginally larger vocabulary that can operate an en dash

I have a higher IQ than you.

In the case of Israel, that is why I mentioned we have the gulf. In the far east, yeah true we probably cant make a guarantee without at least some significant presence in a nearby country.

None of this, however, rationalizes getting cucked by one of those nations into a pre-emptive strike and war when the options to keep that security guarantee is on the table as long as we lift sanctions and let them have NPT OK uranium.

Trump is saying Iran was going to attack first lmao
