The thing I objected to is the “trump having his strings pulled” part which plays into to well-worn antisemitic tropes of a cabal of Jews running the world like puppeteers.

Again those people believe that trump having his strings pulled by **Israel **not jews. You hear Israel you automatically think jews . You are not giving anybody who believe that the benefit of the doubt that they really mean Israel not jews. People who believe the theory believe it not being they think jews control the USA but rather because American Zionists are buying politicians with Aipac and because the Epstein files show strong relation between Epstein and Israeli and Zionist leaders. They also don't understand that american elites profits from wars and how the middle east was a very important region for empires for centuries

• The Middle East was the only viable path for the Silk Road. The Roman Empire and the Parthian/Sassanid Empires fought for centuries over the Levant and Mesopotamia specifically to control the customs duties of these trade routes.

• The Siege of Constantinople (1453) : this siege forced Europeans power to find a way around the middle east

• The middle east was called the lifeline of the British empire and Britain wanted to prevent the Russian Empire from moving south into the Middle East, which would have allowed Russia to cut off Britain’s access to India

The USA would like to control the region and the straight of Hormuz that is exactly why he attacked Iran. We have too much example of how foreign intervention do not help the population and instead create failed states and civil wars
