nice pivot. S. Arabia are our "allies" and we've never really fucked w/them. They still blew up our towers and pentagon. The lesson here is don't make trade deals w/authoritarian regimes like S. Arabia, Russia, or China and compromise our democratic values for a buck.
This is the new left technique? Every time someone disagrees your ilk screams "whataboutism" and "pivot"? I clarified my statement. It applies universally to any hornet nest you poke your stick into. Leave other nations go about doing their own thing, as long as they don't provoke you. That's the biggest peace guarantor aside ownership of nuclear bombs.
Nothing leftist about demolishing garbage arguments. To recap: you make some argument that had we left the Iranians alone (guessing referring to '53 coup, sanctions, or lately Trump assassinations), they wouldn't have blown up our towers or pentagon I clarify that's a shit take since the 9/11 hijackers were mostly Arabs and painting all muslims with the same brush is is racist: you then pivot back to your "respect foreigners if you don't want to get hit back" argument while ignoring 9/11 was basically done by "friendlies" [the basis of your argument] I point this out: you get butt hurt that an attack you tried to pin on the wrong country was "never your point":
Love that bit, but my all time favorite is his bit on how the indigenous were called Indians by early settlers.
You waste your own time. My point, so even you understand it: had you left others alone 9/11 and the trillions you poured into the military complex would have never happened. Or did you see Denmark or Switzerland get attacked by anyone in the middle East ever?
Here, let me make the argument for you since you're struggling. The US and the UK should not have deposed a democratically elected leftist government in Iran for fear of 'commies' cutting us of oil. The US should not have gone and sanctioned Iran of basic goods. Trump should not have gone and OK'd the assassination of nuclear scientists and generals to make JCPOA unrecoverable. Had the last bit not been done, Iran would not be running into the arms of China.
China has to balance oil buying from the Russians and the Iranians. They’re grateful India stepped in to buy Russian oil at this time. Here’s the thing, they all hate each other. The Iranians hate the Russians, the Russians are always scheming on everyone, and India and China beef over every little thing. And they all cross with each other over trying to skirt various western sanctions and trade rules. How all of this is going to work out in the end is anyone’s guess but I can’t see this interwoven web of miscreants singing come-by-here for too long.
