I'm not disputing that, but it's an entirely different discussion. I think we both suspect that Putin holds leverage over Trump (be it future business opportunities or something more sinister/embarrassing).

But I bet deep down inside, Putin only sees Iran as somebody to sell weapons to, somebody to get some oil from, and somebody to use as a tool for instigation of the west, as needed. Otherwise, they're just mud people to Russia, like the Saudis are to us.

My post was simply discussing Trump, Pompeo, and Esper's presentation of the current situation with Iran. I think they're really nailing it and staying ahead of their domestic opponents' and Iran's next move. They seem to have their shit together on this one. I don't always say that about them.
Great post. :nod:

Saw these threads retweeted by Sam Harris and a couple of other Twitter accounts I follow. Basically a take from an anti-Islamist Arab guy in Britain that's not exactly pro-Trump, either.

Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.
