I Am Not Politically Correct

According to Max Blumenthal – on the Jimmy Dore show – Soleimani worked with the U.S. fighting ISIS. Now, the U.S. has turned him into a terrorist to suit their own purpose. I always thought it was strange that the U.S. designated a sovereign nation’s army a “terrorist group.” Imagine someone doing that with our military.

Anyway, even though I’m a conservative and Blumenthal is on the Left, I find his claims interesting.

It's more interesting that they don't do the same about Saudi's...

They like to stay friends with the Saudis. @Murmurs

@Carissimi I know it's about oil really, but it saddens me that Iran, ruled by despots though it is, is a nation of immense and ancient civilisation (who know an awful lot more than Americans most of the time), who if the US stopped pissing them about would probably in time be a friend (if not an actual ally) - and yet the US sucks up to the country which in effect sponsored the worst attack on US soil since 1941 and have covertly funded anti-American interests ever since while pretending to do the opposite - and even if it didn't is a place of frankly unspeakable barbarity.

Or in other words, Iran has some shitty leaders and a multitude of redeeming features. Saudi Arabia...is a better candidate for a sea of glass, if only we'd be honest about it.

I can’t argue with what you say. @Murmurs

@Carissimi Ok slightly exaggerating the desire to bomb people but otherwise I'm serious!
Carissimi · 70-79, F
I didn’t read anything about bombing in what you wrote. Did I miss something. I think we’ve done enough damage as it is, and need to get out of there. That’s what Trump ran on. @Murmurs

@Carissimi Saudi a candidate for being turned into a sea of glass. But as I said I wasn't serious about that part...
Carissimi · 70-79, F
I’ve never heard that term. @Murmurs
