Anybody else get the sense that Biden is gonna push for yet another Mid-East war that will cost us trillions of dollars and thousands of lives? And benefit someone other than the US ?

I’m certain that Biden and his crony Democrat Warhawks will blame the Iranian situation on Trump’s “non-intervention”-ism in the region.

Anybody else get that feeling ? Or am I just crazy ...

Anybody still believe biden is agains't oil? Seems to me like he wants to shut down iran oil production and bolster oil price.

Israel tried to sabotage Irans nuclear program with the Stuxnet worm 10 years ago. This time around, they might be forced to use kinetic strikes.

"Forced to". No one is forcing Israel to attack its neighbors.

Their own paranoia will force them to.

It's not paranoia when they have been trying to start a war with Iran for the last 30 years and this is just another excuse in a long line of excuses. The international community needs to stand up to israel.

This is exactly what I expect from him. He's been in office since the 80's. He knows the best way to boost an economy is the war machine. Plus Americans will be focused on a foreign enemy and not the government.

To be clear, Joe Biden’s first elected position was in 1973. He has been in office as long as most Americans have been alive.

I'm affectionately referring to him as president lump

Maybe we can call him the Usurper-in-Chief...

Iran is one of the last countries without a private central bank...

Quasi-Independence that their actual crime.

Ultimately, it doesn't really matter whether its true or not. The Media says Iran is weeks away from a WMD, and over 50% of the people believe them. Just like they did with Iraqs nonexistent WMDs.

The Elite keep getting away with the same tricks.

TBF, we were still fresh from 9/11 when the push for a second Iraq war began, and killing the occasional tribesman in the mountains of Afghanistan wasn't satisfying people's thirst for revenge on someone. Not saying it was right, but it made more sense why so many people supported it.

This is like the WMD push in the early 2000's, with nothing other than the cult-like blindness the left has right now.

Also, didn't Trump get an utterly massive amount of shit early on for launching a strike inside Syria at what he said were Iranian facilities for nuclear weapons development?

Say what you like about Biden but I've never seen a American president increase productivity so quickly.

Shame he's only doing it in the Middle East.

Once the media starts claiming something, there is no changing its mind. A year ago the media started claiming coronavirus is extremely deadly. But when it hit the US, it became clear it was not deadly, but this did not change the media's mind. One year later and we are still under lockdown.

Isn't there another country in the middle east that had nuclear weapons a long time ago? The name of that country starts with I think, i...think it isntreal.

"Here's a diagram":

This is from 2012. In that talk, after turning the now-famous bomb cartoon right-side up, Bibi claimed Iran would be complete "stage 2" of the uranium enrichment process at latest by the following summer and would then have enough for a bomb a few months after that.

This Iran nuke skulduggery is decades old. It gets wheeled out every few years when a good distraction is needed.
