I know we have outposts in Israel keeping an eye on - as an example - Iran and shit, but why do we have to be enemies with Iran in the first place? Our situation with Israel just seems like a pointless one-way relationship that only serves to further alienate the rest of the middle east from us.

why do we have to be enemies with Iran in the first place?

The US points fingers at Iran for everything Saudi Arabia is guilty of. And since Biden uttered a single syllable of criticism of them, they stopped selling oil in american dollars. So since we're off the gold standard, we've given power over our currency to Saudi Arabia.

But to your question. Saudi Arabia decided to work with us and fuck their people. Iran wanted to give their people some dignity in exchange for what we wanted from them. The only reason we haven't turned Iran to ash, like we did with every other country in the middle east and are continuing to do...excluding Saudi Arabia and Israel. Is because going to war with Iran means going to war with Russia and going to war with Russia means nuclear Armageddon for the entire world from WW3 happening

But now we're sprinting toward nuclear Armageddon with what's happening in Gaza AND Ukraine. We have Hillary making up Russiagate to thank for the bullshit happening in Ukraine...that and the US has been fucking with Russia through Ukraine for decades now.
