I do it as a war address.
I'm going to be able to fool them.
And he had the slow draw.
He was less energetic than usual.
But I legitimately felt like I was watching a hypnotist try and hypnotize me where he wasn't.
Not only was he not saying anything new, he's like going bigger on some of the lies that Iran was going to get a nuclear bomb.
They were going to be a nuclear threat.
to us he did actually admit to the fact that we did this on behalf of middle east partners i thought that was interesting and then you know i can save uh my thoughts for what he said at the end yeah i was legitimately mad for the first 10 minutes where i was like why do i have to do the homework of watching things that are not offering any clarification whatsoever not giving me a pitch you're not you know what i mean you're just kind of like it really just felt like someone was like waving the watch in front of my face and trying to repeat this stuff enough times that i would believe it
I got a lot of thoughts on this, but speaking to your first point of the people who thought that we were liberating Iran, for all of you who pretended that this was going to be a humanitarian cause because we can't allow a regime to be killing 30,000 of their own people, well, I guess this isn't much of a humanitarian effort if we're now threatening war crimes to wrap up the war, that if they don't sign on the dotted line, we're blowing up all of their oil reserves and we're going to be blowing up their power plants.
and leaving them as uh i i don't even know uh that's still living under the regime but with uh with you know even less economic resources to get by on uh but hey humanitarian effort so for all the people that i was hearing and i was just saying even if it's thirty thousand i don't care that's not a good reason for us to be going to war
and we don't apply this standard across the world that's going to have us in wars all the time and it's not going to help the people that live there this is all stupid but for all the people that are playing the card if we can't just stand idly by while 30 000 people are being killed by the regime so it this is the cure right now that this is the way to do it and then on these other points firstly on the regime change point i i've criticized donald trump about this a lot that he's a three-year-old and he likes to pull uh oh i promised you a a million doll hairs i didn't say dollars
and he pulls this trick he literally pulls this trick all the time he literally pulls this trick all the time so now it's like oh we weren't trying to get regime change but we do have regime change and he's lying when he says it's a softer younger regime now that's not what anybody that's not what anybody's saying you don't have a new regime you did not accomplish that goal but hey it wasn't even a goal of ours anyways
And now as to whether or not this will even work.
So I guess it's a threat of war crimes that we're going to be blowing up your whole country and just leaving.
We don't care about their humus straight.
Other people can worry about that.
This might even just be a deke out to actually do a ground war and that he wants to stick around longer.
But let's just assume he's saying, I'm just going to blow everything up and walk away and say, I declared victory.
Well, if you haven't actually taken out all of Iran's stockpiles of bombs, what happens when Iran blows the shit out of oil infrastructure?
and uh salination plants in other areas so are we just like gonna blow up the entire middle east and walk away we're gonna watch oil prices go up to 200 a barrel and just be like hey what are we gonna start doing export controls on our oil be a fully socialized economy and go we never needed the rest of the world yeah maybe maybe 10 years from now you actually get your factory back when we trade with nobody yeah yeah it's uh i don't know man this is really dark um and uh
