@Jameshammer23 @ggreenwald @YinYang18175500 I understand why you hold out hope for Trump, after all he ran on ending wars and curbing American imperialism. Even if he had the best of intentions when he started, he's failing. No individual is coming to save us from this corrupt system, including Trump.

If Biden or Kamala had won, and started a serious war with Iran, and asked Congress for $200 billion in the first 3 weeks, every single MAGA influencer would be calling them warmongers and demanding impeachment. Neocons would be happy, but the MAGA influencers would be enraged.

You should be absolutely furious about this $200 billion ask for the war. I guarantee you if you asked for $200 billion in health care or food for American people, you'd be laughed out of Congress. There's no money for that! But as soon as Israel asks, it'll fly through Congress.

@Jameshammer23 @ggreenwald @YinYang18175500 So why would you play into the bogus justifications of another war? You know we don't go to other countries to liberate people even if the individuals who make up our military forces might hope to do that.

@letsblamerussia @ggreenwald @YinYang18175500 I understand this and agree. I didn’t know you were willing to accept this. Most people aren’t. I don’t believe Trump wants to do this, imo. He had meetings with the defense contractors to limit profits and increase production. We will see what true but Venezuela is a model.

@Jameshammer23 @ggreenwald @YinYang18175500 We go to war because it makes the security state rich (eg military contractors). The wars aren't meant to be won they're meant to be continuous. This is bipartisan. The faster you understand this the quicker we can stop fighting each other & start addressing the problem.

@letsblamerussia @ggreenwald @YinYang18175500 What does it matter? Why are Iranian Nazis and German Nazis different? I think Saddam was a bad guy, sure but he kept the Country together and was relatively secular. But once we are at war, you don’t bathe in the blood of your own countrymen.

@Jameshammer23 @ggreenwald @YinYang18175500 I see so when our country invades another sovereign nation, killing over 1 million of their people, it's just a "mistake" that Iran has no right to try and help defend against.

@Jameshammer23 @ggreenwald @YinYang18175500 I didn't bring up immigration, I brought up the execution of two civilians in broad daylight by the police to make the point that our government has no moral high ground over Iran.

@letsblamerussia @ggreenwald @YinYang18175500 Well for one they killed hundreds or thousands of Americans in Iraq. 224 US Marines in Beirut, and so on. Germany never attacked the United States. Libya was largely a mistake, as was a ground invasion of Iraq. The Islamic Republic should have been the target, Theo-fascists.

@letsblamerussia @ggreenwald @YinYang18175500 You didn’t look at my reply to Glenn. Is there any war you feel was justified?
Mostly Peaceful James@Jameshammer23

@ggreenwald @YinYang18175500 No, this is about US National Security and power, but that doesn’t mean that 80% of the people in Iran won’t benefit from this. Do you think we invaded Europe to “liberate” the Jews or was that also a byproduct of projecting American power against a threat?

@Jameshammer23 @ggreenwald @YinYang18175500 Tousi TV? As in Mahyar Tousi? The free market capitalist who wants to bring Western “values” to Iran? Did anyone tell him they already had that before the U.S. liberated them from their liberty in 1953?

@aerwaves_ @ggreenwald @YinYang18175500 People use ad hominem attacks because: 1) Their argument is weak, so they attack the person instead. 2) Emotions (anger, frustration, ego) override logic. 3) It’s a quick, easy way to discredit someone and dodge the real issue It’s a lazy shortcut when facts aren’t on their side
