The U.S. and its allies have backed religious fundamentalists to combat communism. A tactic used from the residuals of the Cold War. Bashar was secular. They just ousted him to put in ISIS. Iran was secular before.

Crazy how not many if at all stand with these Iranian women.

 

[crandc]

I stand with Iranian women. Rapist Epstein buddy deporter of pregnant women pussy grabber does not.

 

[Phatguysrule]

So the Strait of Hormuz is is open then? Guess those gas prices should be coming down soon....

Oh wait, we set the oil fields on fire... My bad...

If I thought this would make things better for them I would probably support some military action.

I do not think this will make things better for them.

I don't think making it worse is a good solution.

If regime is crushed and the people of Iran can re-establish a country that promotes freedom and rights for women and once again be a beaming lightnin the mid east, I would say it was a good solution.

Joe Kent spilling some juicy beans. Saying they tried investigating the Charlie Kirk death and foreign interest and were stopped by people in the Trump admin

I don't think that's likely.

The crazy Q-believing part of MAGA is pulling away from Trump. There is a rush to court these idiots because these are the ones who have thrown their money at Trump. All the MAGA flags and hats, the digital pictures, all that shit. Kent said that in a Tucker Carlson interview. Both are looking to profit off that Trump crowd.

It is absolutely wild. I still see people making outrageous arguments about how they are all playing 4 d chess.

At this point I have to think these people are under hypnosis.

 

[Hoopguru]

I don't think that's likely.

Well, I hope so as I cant imagine living under sharia law with three daughters that are strong women's rights & LGBT supporters.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I feel sorry for the women in Iran. But I find their liberation as one of the reasons we're in this war with Iran to be laughable. Some of our biggest allies in the Middle East treat their women worse than Iran treats theres', and we are silent.

Hell, there are women in this country who our government is treating far worse than Iran is treating their women.

And that doesn't even include healthcare.

. While the U.S. spends over 50 times more per capita on health care than Iran, it faces higher rates of maternal mortality than some high-income nations and suffers from significant access disparities.

He linked the Kirk assassination to Israel. Pretty obvious for anyone paying attention.

Great. Now we're going to have to hear all about how "Charlie Kirk was basically the same as JFK"...

I don't know why it does this for some instagram posts, but the link works fine, just click on "Visit Instagram"

Sometimes I just take a screenshot of page and then include the Instagram link in the image

We’ll send our contractors in to go fix and do poor, half-assed jobs to repair damages and “train” the locals at the same time while giving big contracts to friends of politicians and other big biz connections. Just like Iraq.

These are two separate issues. The Strait of Hormuz being open means international commercial shipping can pass freely, tankers, cargo ships, etc. That's about freedom of navigation for the entire world.

Destroyed Iranian energy infrastructure is a completely different matter. Iran's oil and gas exports primarily flow to China (by far their #1 buyer), along with Iraq, Syria, and a handful of others operating outside Western sanctions. The global shipping lanes through Hormuz are not dependent on Iranian energy facilities being intact.

So no, they're not really related- open strait = ships move freely; damaged Iranian energy = Iran and its specific trading partners take the hit.

If China can't buy oil/gas from Iran they are going to buy it someplace else.

That drives the price of oil/gas up for everyone.

In other words they are very, very related.
