However, this time, there is only one reason. The Iran war. Iran cut off oil supply that counted for 20% of the global oil reserve. Gas prices skyrocketed. Here we are. Now, I am still not convinced that America was at risks for being nuked by Iran. Yes, they wanted to, but wanting to nuke us and having the capability to nuke us are very different things. If they had completed a working nuclear program, then Israel would definitely be at risk...but **** them. They are committing genocide, so Karma is a bitch.
Another example of Israel finding a way to get us to do their dirty work.
There is another perspective. I see the civilians celebrating. I have researched the horrors that have endured for 45 years. Some may say, "well then they need to be the ones to overthrow their regime. After all, that is what America did to Britain back in the day." The difference is that Americans still had weapons and guns. That made it easier. Not easy, but possible. Iran is the real life example of why the second amendment was put in place. They have no guns. All they have is their bodies charging forward. Nothing else. So far, 40k of their civilians have been killed. How many unarmed Americans are willing to do the same for America?
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent admitted that Washington helped spark recent protests in Iran by creating a U.S. dollar shortage, leading to runaway inflation.
