The War with Iran

Yup, I just commented on how Ironic it must be for Bolton to just get ousted before some bombs might drop.
"Saudi Arabia should fight their own wars, which they won't, or pay us an absolute fortune to protect them and their great wealth-$ trillion! "

My dad just said that he's confident that Trump has a plan for an internal revolution in Iran. This will be different because we're inciting the revolution instead of just plowing through a foreign country like we have in the past. That "the people there don't support the government, which has been killing the population in large numbers". I asked him where he got that, if it was Fox, but he wouldn't respond.
I was at a loss of words with that comment. We stopped talking then because Hannah was conveniently waking up at that point in time.

Guess this is what shaking things up looks like, huh ?
Ask him how that worked out for the Kurds, both in Iraq and Syria.
Soleimani is no anti-imperialist hero
And Trump’s reckless decision to assassinate him will not result in ‘World War III’.
your dad must have quite a stash of quaaludes

in general i don't disagree with it.
Doesn't seem like anyone's giving them a fair shake.
YPG returnees: Counterterrorist fighters under suspicion – DW – 01/05/2020
The Kurdish YPG militia did the heavy lifting in the fight against the "Islamic State," yet many foreign YPG adherents, including Germans, have come home to find themselves under suspicion of terrorism. DW investigates.

I was a bit dumbfounded by that one. I asked him what his source for that was, beyond his belief that was the intention, bringing up that it very promptly took the new unredacted emails from DoD saying witholding funds from Ukraine was illegal, out of the news. He then went on a "the impeachment isn't legal until it's sent to the Senate" rant, at which point I killed the conversation. It's just really shitty that my family is tiny, because that kind of shit makes me want to back burner him until he gets his shit clear.
you might wanna check the call logs on his phone to see if anything starts with +7
Trump has given away Kurdish held territory in Syria to Syria, and what will become a renewed ISIS is now essentially going to have free reign when/if the US gets kicked out of Iraq, because Iraq is pissed that we made them an unwitting accomplice in a modern/real life Red Wedding, absolutely destroying the credibility of the US to negotiate any sort of peace talks, for probably decades. All this so Cheeto Ceausescu can make some bogus claim about "defeating terrorism". So with nothing in return we essentially walk out of the area and cede all control to Iran, Syria and Russia. Not coincidentally, oil prices are spiking and the two countries that benefit most, are Saudi Arabia and Russia and what should have been two giant stories about Ukraine/Bill Barr/DOJ cover-up and a Deutsche Bank whistle blower both get buried.
Someone is #winning, but it sure isn't the Kurds.

Donald Trump’s Worst Deal
The President helped build a hotel in Azerbaijan that appears to be a corrupt operation engineered by oligarchs tied to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
worth noting - that hotel location *never actually opened*

it's almost like.... it was designed and built for the sole purpose of laundering money......
Mere coincidence, I'm sure.
surely there is no paper trail showing textbook money laundering activities out there ....

You can mostly blame the Turks for that.
Because the USA deliberately fucking them repeatedly is not the USA's fault apparently.
"HiS tAxEs aRe sTiLl beInG aUdITeD!"
It's a "reposition".

Edit:. Which I realize is what the Reuters article says but NPR has some more detail.
I hope they don’t get lost on way to Saudi Arabia and mistakenly cross the Iranian border.
The hangar next to us, (actually a series of hangars) is operated by SNC and they use that space to turn/mod C130s into gunships/spookeys. Parked out side is a large RV that is almost totally unremarkable except for a couple of large-ish bubbles on one side and the roof. I assume they house antenna. I think of that movie every time I see it.
"Settle down Francis".
One of those gunships was here in Texas the last time I was here.

And Iran has attacked an air base housing US troops in Iraq.
Here we go, surely we will win the Middle East now!
