I'm sure this won't come back to bite us in the ass in the form of repeated terrorist attacks.

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.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Americans do love their airport pat downs and invasive body searches, it seems.
Id say a few would maybe beat that lesson into the average American... But how many school shootings are there every year? Nope. Americans will keep eating the patriotic lead crayons.
They hate us for our freedom and bombing them.
Murdering school children is how you get a joker origin story
It’s hard not to interpret a lot of this as Israel being the leader of both the USA and UK. Not just Iran, but Gaza and home grown protests/reactions to.
It’s easy to find another interpretation: Israel is a useful stooge for Western powers. They do what they’re told to do.
After all, it’s western powers that created modern Israel in the first place, partly to keep the region destabilized so that the Middle East wouldn’t threaten the Western power bloc.
Probably parts of other governments too. Ghislaine and Epstein banked on various island, targeted the rich regardless of nationality and seemed to be operating with purpose.
France, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, and much of the Commonwealth likely have senior officials that can be blackmailed or whom receive funding from someone who can be. If this is the same CIA operation as the Franklin Scandal it's been running since the 80s.
Israel is just the American Empire's favorite colony, which they use as a tool to gain some plausible deniability for some of the worst excesses of their foreign policy
"Aha! I know how to win the midterms! All I have to do to kill some big scary evil dude. Like Obama did with Bin Laden! Yes, it's perfect! My approval ratings will soar!"
Imagine the whole earth being destroyed because some power guy wanted to hide his kid diddling.
