Gee, I can’t imagine why Iran now doesn’t want immediate ceasefires.
The United States just cannot stop fucking with everything in the Middle-East. Not since the Gulf Wars and that’s going by my memory growing up. We learned nothing from the Gulf Wars. We learned nothing from the entire War on Terror that 9/11 kicked off. We learned nothing from everything involving Syria. And we’re learning nothing from this.
We learned that war makes some people a lot of money, some of which is spent buying politicians to keep the war machine running.
False.
US military contractors learned how to get filthy rich, and they haven’t stopped since.
You (US&A) have never learned from anything in a history. Just repeating the same dumb shit over and over again.
