I've mentioned this quite a few months back but it's worth mentioning again. We've had terror cells and operatives in this country for a long time. In my area alone thousands of Hezbollah cells and operatives have been identified through intelligence. In the area where I'm speaking with the exception of Knotts Berry Farm, we have the Diocese of Orange, Disneyland, The Honda center, Angel Stadium and the Grove. All high populated areas. All of these are just with miles of one another. This is just in my small area. They're all over the country
I believe you.
Bombing Iran to smithereens, like we did in Iraq and Afghanistan, wouldn't dismantle the terror networks you're concerned about.
I've said before why I believe our leaders see bombing Iran as appealing. It's not really about protecting the US from terrorism, stopping nuclear weapons, or liberating Iranians. I think the real driver is that perpetual conflict in the region benefits key parts of the American system.
We bomb Iran -> Iran retaliates against US military bases in Kuwait and other Gulf monarchies -> those vulnerable states panic and demand even more American weapons, protection, and permanent bases -> the military industrial complex racks up massive sales and contracts -> this reinforces the US petrodollar system.
It creates a self sustaining loop that props up US financial dominance and helps paper over our mounting debts through financial voodoo.
I get why the powers that be find this attractive. It's a convenient short term patch. But it's just delaying the inevitable reckoning. We're no longer the unrivaled innovator and builder we were decades ago, and we're getting lapped by China in manufacturing and tech. We voted Trump in largely for America First and to concentrate domestically, to drain the swamp, protect the borders etc. Not more worldwide meddling.
