"But we do know from Secretary #Rubio that #Netanyahu decided to strike #Iran.

@tobie1 @benroyce So yeah.. foreign countries are dictating foreign policy for the US.

[starluna@mastodon.social]

@benroyce The latter feels more likely. Especially given Netanyahu's desire to stay out of prison.

@hasani @tobie1 well i knew the usa was in decline but i guess we're going to speedrun it

[tobie1@mastodon.social]

@hasani @benroyce I don't disagree that the Kushners (Charles and Jared) were pushing for a war with Iran. Public office for all the members of this (mal)administration seems to mean one thing only: grift. It's sickening.

@tobie1 @hasani

right. they are corrupt. which makes them to blame

so what they hell was that comment of yours above?

[hasani@my-spaces.social]

@tobie1 @benroyce Add in the zionists that AIPAC has been cultivating for decades and mix in some christian "end times" weirdos and this war is what you get.

Almost inevitable when you think about it. Everyone is using each other and its already going badly.

@benroyce @hasani @tobie1 Logarithmic.

@tobie1 @benroyce The US has no agency under this admin, to the delight of past foes and all who want to exploit this “gift,” and dismay of past allies.

@benroyce Funny thing about all this, there are now three countries that produce and fire the Shahed: Iran (the originator), Russia, and now the US as well. Apparently Shaheds are a hell of a lot cheaper than Tomahawks and do the same job.

As for why Iran is now such a world leader in drones, remember that RQ-170 they forced to land perhaps a decade ago and captured? The US military has said that in copying the Shahed they are copying a product that in turn was reverse engineered from US drone tech. I guess what Iran left out was war profiteers shaking down their warfighters for huge profits with every round fired.

My guess is the reason the Pentagon pays a thousand times as much for some attack drones and cruise missiles as they presumably now do for Shaheds must in fact be war profiteering greed.

@benroyce Israel drastically restricted food and aid to Gaza prior to the election as a ploy to peel people away from voting for Harris. They then restored it after Trump won until his people were in power for the full blockade. Another successful Israeli psyop.
