KEY POINTS
The U.S. government ordered non-essential diplomats to leave Saudi Arabia as the conflict broadened across the Middle East.
Iran named Mojtaba Khamenei as the new supreme leader, a choice that former CIA director has labeled as ‘unfortunate.’
Oil prices spiked above $110 per barrel before paring gains.
Gee, I can’t imagine why Iran now doesn’t want immediate ceasefires.
The United States just cannot stop fucking with everything in the Middle-East. Not since the Gulf Wars and that’s going by my memory growing up. We learned nothing from the Gulf Wars. We learned nothing from the entire War on Terror that 9/11 kicked off. We learned nothing from everything involving Syria. And we’re learning nothing from this.
Eisenhower warned us. The US took what it learned from how WWII sparked the country’s growth and embraced it fully. And then it became even worse, looking for opportunities. Creating them even.
The point we’re at now is making the past exploits look tame. WTAF are we doing?
Seems like the primary goal is to make sure the USA will solidly be remembered as the baddies in the future.
We learned that war makes some people a lot of money, some of which is spent buying politicians to keep the war machine running.
False.
US military contractors learned how to get filthy rich, and they haven’t stopped since.
You (US&A) have never learned from anything in a history. Just repeating the same dumb shit over and over again.
