    the latter is incorrect. There was a coordinated push for the Iraq war many many years before, and much of it relied on intelligence from someone coincidentally

    I’m all but convinced the Venezuelan and now Iran actions are actually a Treasury operation to counter China.

    Nukes (Iran) and removing an evil dictator (Venz) have been the excuses, but dollar dominance is the real reason, as we try to cut China off from 2 of its main energy suppliers.

    Iran In conjunction with BRICS was becoming too much of a headache for the dollar dominated global financial system.

    Cuba next, under the guise of a humanitarian crisis

    My guess is the poor Cubans look over the sea to PR and are like “I would like US benefits and tourism dollars and Netflix and pornhub!!”

    Highly doubt this turns into an all out never ending war, just politicians moving pieces necessary for future outcomes. Alot of these regimes are outdated and no longer useful in modern society. Just the next step in the world economic stage. Nothing to see here...

    Yup. This has been planned for months.

    This isn't iraq, airstrikes are not going to topple a regime.

    They know this

    It will. This was a point of no return to be honest. In prior conflicts, there hasn't been targeting of the surrounding gulf states. This is what you do when you have nothing to lose. There was no negotiating in good faith, this was planned for months.

    The Iraq war was completely a U.S. decision. Israel’s role wasn’t decisive. Israel does have influence, but not enough to pull the U.S. into war like they are doing now.

    No it was not, you intelligence provided for by you know what was Key. There were neoconservative think tanks that had drafts for the war in iraq as well as the use of WMD narratives well before its inception. This is pretty well known at this time and has been openly admitted by many military officials. I would give you one source but its pretty plastered all over.

    Wait, I remember you now. Before the election, you believed Trump had nothing to do with Project 2025. Toe the line

    The dollar domination is done. It is mainly based on petroleum and China is pumping out solar so fast they aren't going to need the middle east, and Europe is going to follow their lead.

    Heck yeah. Those Chinese communist bastards have always been our number one public enemy.
    I grew up in Miami and the Cubans always wanted to be a part of the US.

    I know of all that, we just have a different conclusion. PNAC was all neoconservative Americans pushing for regime change well before the war or any bad intelligence on WMD.
