I didn’t deliberately leave it out. I just didn’t see a point in including it. I was sharing this info in response to this comment of yours:

Why would Iran be a threat to Israel and the US? Could it be because of violently overthrowing the democrwtically elected leader and installing a puppet that murdered and tortured his people with US and Israeli aid for 30 years, so the US could steal oil from Iran?

To point out that Iran was a threat to Israel long after the coup to remove Mohammad Mossadegh that you seemed to be referring to:

The August 1953 coup stemmed from U.S. fears over the Soviet Union increasingly wanting a piece of Iran as Communists agitated within the country.

Who is better equipped for it that is already defending themselves from Iran?

Israel and Iran have been firing missles at each other recently.

It is harder for Iran to help Russia and China if Israel can keep them from growing in power in the region. At least that seems to be the opinion of US military intel.

We don’t need Iran helping Russia invade Ukraine or China invade Taiwan either.

Various reasons have been given for the Iran-Israel conflict. Iran and Israel had previously enjoyed warm ties due to common threats, but by the 1990s the USSR had dissolved and Iraq had been weakened.[29] Iranian Islamists have long championed the Palestinian people, whom they perceive as oppressed.[30] Scholars believe that by supporting the Palestinians, Iran seeks greater acceptance among Sunnis and Arabs, both of whom dominate the Middle East.[31][32] Ideologically, Iran seeks to replace Israel with a one-state solution (though Iran has at times also supported the two-state solution),[33] and has predicted Israel's demise.[34] Israel sees Iran as an existential threat,[35] and accuses its regime of harboring genocidal intentions.[36] Consequently, Israel has sought sanctions and military action against Iran to stop it from acquiring nuclear weapons.[37]

Russia is at war with Ukraine and North Korea and China are helping while Iran and Israel are exchanging missles. Iranian drones are being used by Russia in Ukraine.

Who’s playing dumb?

Israel and Iran have been firing missles at each other recently.

As North Korea, Iran and China support Russia’s war, is a ‘new axis’ emerging?

Not sure what you mean

Or that the problem is Netanyahu and there is no easy way to end his genocide without letting Iran and thus Russia, China and North Korea get stronger.

Iran, Russia, China and North Korea have formed an alliance. The US supports Israel as a means to an end: preventing Iran from growing in power in that region.

The US supports Israel so that Israel can stop Iran from becoming a bigger threat.

The US supports Israel so that Israel can prevent Iran from growing in power and take control of the region.

In 2020 the senate was a 50/50 split with the vice president giving the democrats 1 more vote than republicans. In 2022 it was a 51/49 split giving dems only 2 more votes than republicans. The “majority” was so slim that it was not enough for the supermajority vote required for the most important legislation. And it only took 1-2 senators to not vote along party lines to block Democratic legislation.

To ignore that and pretend that dems had the power to do whatever they wanted is disingenuous.

To blame the Democratic Party for the actions of 1-2 senators that chose to go against the party is disingenuous.

You’re claiming that all republican legislation that has ever been passed, only passed because of help from democrats? That’s verifiably false.

Pointing out that republicans try to block democrat legislation is reality not an excuse. But you probably believe they are all lizard people with your conspiracy minded thought process.

When people like yourself fall for it, why would they stop?

Commiting war crimes and genocide in the name of stopping Iran is lame and stupid

Tell this to Netanyahu. Iran is also not afraid of committing warcrimes.

“Democrats” or the Democratic Party as a whole? Because any bad faith actor can claim to be democrat and go against party lines.

There is evidence of republicans trying to stop Democratic legislation. There is none of the Democratic Party trying to stop the Democratic Party

Manchin and Sinema exist because any politician can just claim to be democrat and not vote along party lines. For you to act like it is some conspiracy by the democrats to not follow through on what they worked for is a bad faith argument.

Isn’t it more likely that republicans, the group that actively blocks all democrats out then up to it?
