In less than two minutes this little boy managed at least ten incantations of the magic words "AMERICAN LIVES" before concluding with a solemn assurance that the Iranian general they had just torn to pieces without warning was "the worst BAD GUY in the whole region".
Master Hook made no mention of the dismembered Iraqi who had been accompanying this eviscerated former Bad Guy, but presumably that expendable former Iraqi had been a Bad Guy too, by definition, not having been an American Life.
Anyway, call it statecraft, because the USA has just managed to alienate and infuriate Iran and Iraq simultaneously. Whose wish was that? Who insisted on making it come true? Why? And, above all, cui bono, exactly? I am almost completely half afraid to wonder aloud.
I'll say it aloud for you:
JEWS.
I skimmed this whole thread and I was reminded how the tinfoil left is almost as fucking diseased with antisemitism as the tinfoil right, just smarter about it. Is it possible that Jewish billionaires and Mossad blackmailers have US politicians by the balls and are steering them toward war? Sure! That could definitely be a part of it, a big part. You people are never not certain of it, though. Is it antisemitic to criticize Israel? Of course not! In theory. In practice? You motherfuckers take the side of Israel ZERO percent of the time and you take the side of their religious-fascist Muslim adversaries ONE HUNDRED percent of the time. Because the Muslims are anti-American like you, or less capitalistic, or browner, or whatever makes you feel woke. If only the Israeli Jews were still sponsored by the Communists and a little darker than Muslims, maybe you guys would think less like a racist fucking hivemind.
