It'll be different from Iraq in that Iran is 3x larger and substantially better armed.

Maybe it's just me, I can't see that image for what it is until I focus!
What it it is: painted fists tied in rope.
What I see: two painted bones with rope arms posing for their pre-boxing match promotion...
Certains companies, elites and the military-industrial complex will profit from the war. Iraq may have been an unintentional mistakes even though I doubt that. Libya and syria outcome are definitely what the usa and nato planned
There is no realpolitik. There is only Israel.
This is whitewashing the American empire . The American empire has it own reasons for attacking Iran like I said the American elites and massive international companies always profited from wars like the Iraq war and having control of the straight of Hormuz would be used weapons Russia and China
At some point leftists are going to have to swallow that there is no American geopolitical interest and the only reason Trump is threatening to blow up oil prices worldwide during an incredibly precarious time for the US and global economy is Israel.
American imperialism is over 170 years older then the creation of the terrorist state of Israel . You are unconsciously white washing the American empire
American imperialism has been fully hijacked and infiltrated. American imperialism in the Middle East hasn't served American interests since the 2000's. Should have been blatantly obvious to anyone when Israel bombed Qatar.
Again the USA elites, the military industrial complex and international massive corporations always made money from middle east wars . Seems like you believe the elite ever cared about the American people The USA never cared about it's allies either it always backstab them when it benefits the elites. If Israel has full control on the USA Trump would just give Gaza to Israel completely instead of doing business and try to enrich himself with his stupid "peace" deal and board of "peace"
Small cutbacks exist everywhere but the point of imperialism is to steal something. Yes endless wars are fun for the MIC but if they wanted free money they could send those weapons to Ukraine and look like the good guys instead of destroying the entire sham liberal world order charade they spent decades building up.
Once again, nobody will ever be able to explain why Israel was allowed to bomb Qatar, which is basically fully subscribed to US weapons and protections so this would never happen. Israel on the other hand isn't like other countries in the region. Israel gets free US money. And they are even allowed to spend the US weapons money on their own weapons instead of the American MIC. This destroys the argument that this is all about maximizing profits for the American MIC.
Of course we also need to ignore Epstein, AIPAC and all the other Zionist lobbies for the argument of "realpolitk" to make sense.
if they wanted free money they could send those weapons to Ukraine
Why benefiting from one war when you can benefits for multiple
destroying the entire sham liberal world order charade they spent decades building up.
The whole west agree with all American foreign policies how attacking Iran would ruin anything in the liberal world order?
Once again, nobody will ever be able to explain why Israel was allowed to bomb Qatar
After the attack the USA promised more investment and defense cooperation with Qatar
Israel on the other hand isn't like other countries in the region. Israel gets free US money.
Nothing is free. If it help counter China and Russia interests then from an American imperialism perspective it is totally worth it
they are even allowed to spend the US weapons money on their own weapons instead of the American MIC
Major military projects are co-funded by the USA and Israel
Of course we also need to ignore Epstein, AIPAC and all the other Zionist lobbies for the argument of "realpolitk" to make sense.
Aipac is fully funded by American Zionists not Israeli Zionists. The Epstein files has ton of dirt on Israel there is a reason why Biden didn't try to release them and that Netanyahu tried to distance Israel from Epstein. If true what Netenyahu is waiting to force Trump to allow official annexation of the west bank with the files?
Why benefiting from one war when you can benefits for multiple
Israel is making the US MIC peanuts compared to Ukraine. Israel is also wasting massive amounts of the US interceptor stockpile to the points the US cut the 12 day war short because it was getting very low. Whereas Ukraine is expandable to the US (which is weird because they're so close to Russia so according to realpolitik the US should see them as very important) we all know that the US would do anything to save Israel, in a region filled to the brim with US backed dictators.
The whole west agree with all American foreign policies how attacking Iran would ruin anything in the liberal world order?
Attacking Iran could destroy the global economy with soaring oil prices and everyone is going along with it. We both know who has been pushing the US to bomb Iran for 30 years. In the words of the man himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW8TxOwYte0
After the attack the USA promised more investment and defense cooperation with Qatar
Qatar finalized an already ongoing deal deal with the US but they now looking at into Chinese and Turkish alternatives for planes and interceptors.
Nothing is free. If it help counter China and Russia interests then from an American imperialism perspective it is totally worth it
Actually it is free. Ukraine and other countries get forced into taking US loans. Israel literally gets everything for free. Also it doesn't protect the region at all. Stuff like the overthrowing of Assad using Saudi proxies was done without Israel. Saudi, Jordan, Egypt and UAE are far better lapdogs for the US in the region.The US also has like 100 military bases in every country region already. (Except of course inside Israel which wants to stay independent of the US)
Major military projects are co-funded by the USA and Israel
But they're not. They are funded by the USA. Israel even gets the free money as a lump sum at the start of the year (the amount of Israeli exceptions to every US rule is crazy) and then Israel loans it back to the US so the US pays interest over their own money. Then they do stuff like this "Israel’s armaments independence must become a national goal"
If true what Netenyahu is waiting to force Trump to allow official annexation of the west bank with the files?
He just did that last week lmao. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg5x2l3v0qo

More money is more money thatès how greedy the elite are

Yes nobody expect Iran to retaliate as hard. Israel and the USA was full of themselves after all the minor wins they got

For big rewards you need big risks. So the USA is willing to destroy the global economy temporarily to take control of the region which is the most important region for empires and global trade for 1600 years
-
The Middle East was the only viable path for the Silk Road. The Roman Empire and the Parthian/Sassanid Empires fought for centuries over the Levant and Mesopotamia specifically to control the customs duties of these trade routes.
-
The Siege of Constantinople (1453) : this siege forced Europeans power to find a way around the middle east
-
The middle east was called the lifeline of the British empire and Britain wanted to prevent the Russian Empire from moving south into the Middle East, which would have allowed Russia to cut off Britain's access to India
the words of the man himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW8TxOwYte0
Nobody is denying that Israel want the war and want to rely on the USA. What I reject is the idea that the USA doesn't have there own interests for overthrowing Iran government. This whitewash the american empire and make it looks like they are the victim of Israel who is always forced to only serve Israeli interests rather than the distinct interests of both side
Actually it is free.
Nothing is free every investment has a purpose
Also it doesn’t protect the region at all
The USA never cared about protecting the region the middle east. The USA strategy is ruling though chaos
Egypt and UAE are far better lapdogs for the US in the region.
Those country population will always be anti Israel there is always a chance that those regimes would be overthrown
Qatar finalized an already ongoing deal deal with the US
The deal got upgraded
Except of course inside Israel which wants to stay independent of the US
There is 1,000 American personnel in Site 512 in Negev. They do not officially called a base but it is one
But they’re not. They are funded by the USA. Israel even gets the free money as a lump sum at the start of the year (the amount of Israeli exceptions to every US rule is crazy) and then Israel loans it back to the US so the US pays interest over their own money.
Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon make a lot of money from Israel. For the $3.8 billion base grant in 2026, Israel is only permitted to spend roughly $250 million domestically Your link confirm what I said Israel’s armaments independence being a goal means that right now it is not
He just did that last week lmao. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg5x2l3v0qo
The USA policy was always letting Israel expands settlements discreetly. What I am talking about is official annexation which would mean the PA will be abolished and israel would declare sovereignty on the whole area. So it has nothing to do with the Epstein files which Netenyahu don't want to be fully released because it will associate Israel with pedophilia.
They talked about bugged rooms but allies always spied on each other. The USA is also spying on Israel
Those country population will always be anti Israel there is always a chance that those regimes would be overthrown
Israel sold US military secrets to Russia and stole US nukes. Israel used to be British backed, then French backed, and now US backed. They are in no way a reliable military ally and we both know Israel will gladly switch sides to Russia or China if it ever becomes advantageous for them.
Middle eastern governments like Egypt don't simply get overthrown because of their population hating Israel (would also be easier if Israel didn't exist). Look at Egypt. The US instantly installed another puppet dictator and armed them to the brim. Same thing they do in every other Middle-Eastern country. It's all actual puppets which actually listen to the US. In contrast to Israel which doesn't care about what the US says.

Which is done through Wahabi groups from Saudi and the UAE which create ISIS offshoots. Not by Israel.
Even the major wars (which are often instigated by Israel) are not fought by Israel. See Iraq, Libya, and now Iran. What is Israel contributing here? America and NATO are fighting these wars. Israel was in no way necessary. The only thing Israel "contributes" here is blackmail and lobbying to get the US to bomb Iran. For... Israel.

Ukraine got $188 billion already. Israel is peanuts compared to Ukraine. Israel also has an arms industry which is competing with the US and taking their contracts.
The USA policy was always letting Israel expands settlements discreetly. What I am talking about is official annexation which would mean the PA will be abolished and israel would declare sovereignty on the whole area.
Yeah they basically did that.
There will always be minor advantages for the USA to point to but in reality all the signs point to Israel and AIPAC controlling US politicians to do Israel's bidding when it comes to middle-eastern foreign policy.
I recommend this GDF video on the matter, I've timestamped it on an interesting point but the entire thing is worth a watch https://youtu.be/1ox-DzSF7Tg?t=1641
Middle eastern governments like Egypt don’t simply get overthrown because of their population hating Israel
It happened once it could happen another time. Even if the chance is 0.1% it is worth to take the threat seriously
Which is done through Wahabi groups from Saudi and the UAE which create ISIS offshoots. Not by Israel.
Who did more damage to the middle east countries Israel or ISIS? Israel. The USA use Israel to cause chaos and with that chaos serve both terrorist countries interests.
Like I already say the middle east was always the most important region in geopolitics. Controlling the middle east in long term is the most power thing an imperialist power control
Even the major wars (which are often instigated by Israel) are not fought by Israel.
Still the USA participated in the war for their own interests which by default help Israel but it's not Israel saying if you don't do this we will do really bad things to you . Don't think that Iran will not still attack Israel if the USA decide to go to war , they are not as safe as you thing
Ukraine got $188 billion already. Israel is peanuts compared to Ukraine. Israel also has an arms industry which is competing with the US and taking their contracts.
Like I already told you. A capitalist always want more and more. Like I also said backed by a source most of Israel arms industry is joint venture between the USA and Israel.
Jason Hickel: Why a Liberated Palestine Threatens Global Capitalism
Yeah they basically did that.
So it has nothing to do with the Epstein files. Israel definitely do not want all Epstein files unredacted to be released. If any it is trump who could use Epstein against Israel in the case of I am done I will drag you to hell with me
Anyway even if we assume all wars are really to support Israel the USA and Americans are responsible for what they vote for and done , the unwillingness to change their centuries old pathetic system and has systematic plan to committing war crimes
Yeah, to protect the protesters, we overplayed through the western media the size of the protests, and did all we could to help them happen and continue, tried to make them violent, and associated them with the enemy that for all intents and purposes they've been at war with for a couple of years.
So they would get crushed in the rally around the flag effect Iran is experiencing from being attacked by the all powerful enemy they just watched carry out capricious reprisals against their cousins in Gaza and elsewhere under false pretenses with abandon.
So to defend the freedom of Iranian protesters, we are going to bomb them and assassinate their leaders, don't worry, after getting further attacked by those carrying out genocides the protesters will rise up and reinstitute the Shah as a western puppet! It's not like it's all in bad faith and we are using those protesters as a cause to start our forever war. /S
We in this case being Israel using their epstein blackmail to force the US to start the conflict that Israel will reignite every time they need a domestic political boost finding some pretext to assassinate some more Iranians, blow up more of their infrastructure, and the US, in this case sitting in the gimp suit in the cuck chair while Israel rapes it's captor and says it's consensual.
