    Oil and money are not nothing, not to the corporations and elite who control the US govt at least.

    US bases or Iraq bases with some US troops? I've read a couple of different tweets interchanging those two terms. Is there a difference?

    I wouldn’t count on this playing out like a movie you’ve seen, @Roc Paint. My thoughts right now are with our people on the ground in Iraq and their families. I hope we have anti-missile batteries at our bases there. I haven’t heard that we do.

    Iran is 4 times as large as Iraq and has 3 times the population, with a relatively sophisticated military in certain areas, areas that can hurt us.

    There's never enough money/oil, which is why we've been groveling to the Saudis for the past 70 years, and why we overthrew Iran's democratically elected leader in the 1950s and installed our own puppet dictator until the people had enough and went full revolution in 1979.

    Question is are we talking about impeachment and Ukraine or the Iranian crisis?

    Reminds me of this. Only difference is this isn’t fake .
