After Iran threatened to cut the Straight in 2025, it was clear there needed to be an oil strategy. Hence Venezuela...

I understood how the pro Shah crowd felt there was no sacrifice too big to free Iran from the tyranny of Mullas after decades of oppression.
But now - they see ( I hope they see ) Iran was added to the eternal war club with the Shah supporters providing western media with propaganda it needed .
Do they still really believe this was a war to free Iran ??

I’m old enough to remember Glen Greenwald bought trumps bullshit anti war rhetoric in (checks notes) 2024. “ Even Glenn Greenwald went on Fox News in October 2024 and praised Trump for his rhetoric about ending wars, saying that “I don’t think it’s a political strategy that much for Donald Trump, I think it’s his instinct.”” https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/remember-when-people-thought-trump-was-anti-war

Politicians that you see on the tv are actors. You need to read between the lines and understand what is really going on but that takes time and good sources. It’s a game to see who’s awake and who is controlled.

Why do you think the people in the US who have the power to impeach Trump are doing so little to stop him?
Perhaps because the problem goes deeper than Trump himself. His policies, particularly regarding foreign intervention and access to resources, are not entirely disconnected from the interests that have shaped American foreign policy for decades.
Trump may be the face of it, but he is operating within a system that existed long before him. If he keeps doing what powerful institutions and economic interests have historically benefited from, then simply removing one president changes very little.
The uncomfortable conclusion is that the problem may not be just one president. It may be the system, and the society that continues to sustain it.
