No, they want us gone. We just made the ayatollah and even Osama even more popular. Don’t forget he was from a prominent billionaire family. Imagine how many more misfit incel trust fund boys we enraged this month. The anti American and anti Zionist messages of people Like Ayatollah and Osama will stick even harder in that region now after these recent developments. We shafted them. After Trump , witkoff, and Kushner smiled in their face and grabbed money and planes from The GCC states and faked peace with Iran twice and still attacked them, what else can they do besides snub us for life or worse? No, my dear. We brought Arabs and Iranians together and closer than ever not apart. Add Turks to this pot as well. Oil and petrodollar is the lifeblood of our economy. We need them. They don’t necessarily need us. Without the petrodollar, our economy and currency will collapse. At some point, their Arab honor code system will trigger and F the west will writ large throughout the entire countries then we have a real problem. We need to reconfigure or do something about oil being the engine of our economy because right now they hold all the cards over us. Even moreso than the Chinese and the Israelis |
There's a lot of countries that have been here and their people are most certainly better off. That is a myth you're telling yourself. It may not be horrible, but there's no way we'll be better off unless it cripples the billionaires and they all move to China. But, I have a feeling we're stuck with Thiel and he is desperate to create enough havoc so he can finally live underground in NZ which he fantasizes about because he doesn't care about the human race (his words). |
| And to think, we coughed up all this dust for Israel. A tiny nation that doesn’t benefit us economically like the rest of its neighbors. |
We literally have to rely on other countries for our energy. Trump gave China green energy and now has the audacity to try to take down windmills (well, he actually wants them to take a $1B to remove them). You can't make this stuff up. |
| I’ve asked many times what is the benefit we get from Israel. Is it a natural resource? Do they pay for our military equipment like their neighbors? Do they buy oil from us? Do they fight with us like Europe/NATO? What exactly is the benefit? |
Yes, the Republicans are foolish. They want to rely on fossil fuel and a fossil fuel economy but yet invade and poke the bear with oil rich countries assuming the oil will easily be up for grabs and the “war will pay for itself”. Remember the insurgents in Iraq burning up the oil refineries and causing a global oil crisis /price hike which eventually spiraled into Putin becoming a billionaire and the US and Western Europe getting a recession? We also suffered a recession after the Gulf War in 1991. Our hubris for some reason leads us to believe we can kill and invade people and they will just give us the oil in a hand to hand exchange |
It stated when our culture decided it was morally ok to treat workers as indentured servants and to replace our own children with cheap foreign labor Our culture is a toilet |

Europe takes the refugees caused by American wars. Refugees that the Saudis and Americans and Israelis don’t take. I understand why Europe is fed up. There are 93 million Iranians. Where do you think they’re going to go if a ground war occurs? Why should Europe get involved in this mess? They think we act like a child and Israel is the crazy parent. They’re right |
What does that have to do with rich Arabs investing in America? They're a net negative for everyday Americans. |
| Things are hard now but we always have a recency bias for these types of things and life objectively sucked in every decade of the 20th century unless you were of a certain class. People love to think the current year is the worst year ever. |
Where have you traveled? I disagree. It’s not everywhere |
Europe is worst, trash piling up, constant worker strikes. People don't want to work many counties like Spain require 30% time off |

Sounds like you've never been to Europe. I have family who live in the Netherlands and absolutely none of this is true there. |
