Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

So... We're bombing one authoritarian theocracy to stop it from getting nukes but cheering on another one to do the same. Man, winning has never felt this confusing 😵💫
No but you see, the Saudis are (mostly) on the side of the West's favorite fascist apartheid state and that makes them the GOOD guys who must be allowed to do everything they want with impunity!
Don't forget our ally, the authoritarian theocracy that already has nukes. All of Israel's neighbors understand that nukes are the only thing that keeps Israeli fighter jets out of your country.
Ironically, a nuclear armed Iran and Saudi Arabia may lead to more stability in the region by being a check on Israeli (and US) aggression.
That's great. Really fabulous. Throw it over there on the pile of other irreversibly harmful stuff Trump has done, either for his own glory, or because someone tricked him, and that he won't be around to see the consequences of.
Trump has done, either for his own glory, or because someone tricked him,
Don't forget blackmailed. The Saudis probably have a full and unredacted copy of the Epstein files
Does that even matter? Anyone with a brain already knows that Donald Trump and his whole cohort is guilty of pretty much everything in those files.
Sure. Let's give a bonesaw wielding inbred monarchy who's citizens, or should I say subjects, perpetrated 9-11 on our country the chance to have nukes. Great plan. I'm sure some cronies of Pump and Dump Rump will be raking in the dough.
Wild. I genuinely would trust Iran more than Saudi Arabia or Israel at this point.
Iran started their nuclear program in the 60s. They have been enriching for decades and yet no bomb despite Israel and the US claiming a bomb is just weeks away for decades.
So yeah, Iran has a pretty good track record when it comes to nuclear weapons. They literally agreed to a non-proliferation deal and Trump ripped it up because it had Obama's signature on it.
In part justifiable due to the said behavior in africa but your trust in Iran is misguided at best.
They are routinely using terrorism and supporting Russia and authocraths.

I mean, not really? Neither Iran nor its most prominent proxies (Hamas excluded) use terrorism on a regular basis; Western media just loves calling all anti-Western violent dissent terrorism. As for supporting Russia, I mean, it's not Russia that sanctioned them to death. That one is a pure self-own by the West; Iran has made it clear multiple times that it doesn't like the status quo but it needs to trade with someone. If America and co. weren't so committed to having Iran as a vassal state those Shahed drones could've been going to Ukraine instead. Iran has many skeletons in its closet (Assad being the most obvious), but not these. Finally, which autocrats?
And the Saudis aren't? I seem to remember the Saudis doing a really big terrorism at least once.
The 9/11 stuff or the Washington Post/Khashoggi stuff?
Don't forget they are one of the primary backers of ISIS and ISIL.
So is the United States.

..when the listed options are bone-saw kingdom or the genocidal ethnostate
fucking sold us out; yet again and again
So Republicans have now greenlit a theocratic muslim, jihadist sponsoring regime, to have nukes.
How much you wanna bet these "god fearing" Christians on the right who cheer Palestinian and IRA ian civilian deaths will conveniently turn a blind eye to this news?

Haven't you heard? Their shared belief that Iran and people with left wing ideology are he root of all evil makes Saudi Arabia a friend of the West's favorite fascist apartheid regime and therefore the GOOD guys who must be placated under all circumstances!
Also, they probably gave everyone in the Trump kakistocracy a shitload of bribes and/or have blackmail material on them.
Pay to play in the u s of a.
This is the first step in the eventual nuclear device detonated in NY.
I'm sorry, how does the US even have a say in who gets to do what?! Guess I should read the article.
Same thought. Isn't there some International Atomic Something Something..? I guess, it's another case of "FCC allows Billions of satellites, because if Eagleland."
I could see your crazy thought as potentially not so crazy. I have also had the thought that all the politicians siding with isreal are in the files and isreal has the videos. It wouldn't surprise me if other countries had them.
I think I heard that there had been some breach of the Epstein files back in like 2023 or something (?) and I recall people saying ",I bet it was anonymous and they are going to release it all".
But that never happened.
I did not think it was Anonymous. I assumed it was some other country and they would hold it as blackmail.
There would be no release.
Once it's out there, it can't be used anymore.
I also thought the same about the doj. They won't release files on the politicians they are controlling. Cause then trump can't control them.
I dont think they are "protecting" these men so much as they are protecting their blackmail material.
Trump has no loyalty. Only keeps people for their usefulness to him.
blackmailing someone when the same blackmail exists for the blackmailer feels so blackmail loans
Mexican standoff situation.
But the thing is. So far no one has held Trump accountable for anything. So he probably thinks that will hold.
Art of the deal, ladies and gentlemen!
