The craziest thing about the war in #Iran ๐ฎ๐ท is that we now know the real reason the USA didn't want to send Ukraine any weapons: **they were planning to acquire Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, and Greenland with those weapons**, so they were stocking up. And they have still run short and are diverting the ones the Europeans ordered from them.

Yes, the Pentagon complained that the European NATO partners weren't helping them, but they also refuse to send them the weapons they had purchased from the USA. What is Europe supposed to do? Go to the Middle East and dance the Silly Dance on the boats, and hope the Iranians laugh themselves to death?
(_Dear European NATO: the USA is now unreliable defense supplier, in addition to threatening to invade you, and constantly starting foreign war adventures and expecting you to clean up after them. Please write this down. Try to keep up._)
We don't know what the Japanese and Taiwanese think about the United States dropping its stockpile of munitions onto scrap metal in the desert, and diverting its navy to there, but nobody asked them. Fuck them, amiright? All of East Asia has always been Chinese, anyway.
This is also why the USA refused to condemn Putin for the invasion and instead had a little bromance with him: They agreed to not condemn him, he agreed to not condemn them. Everyone is happy. Everyone is a winner.
Ironically, the only European country willing and able to help anyone in the Middle East fight against Iran was... drumroll, please... Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ. They're now over there -- despite fighting their own war against an invading superpower -- teaching the Arabs how to protect their skies with drone interceptors.
And that's why the Americans were like,
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING OUR ALLIES! ๐
Ha ha. Just kidding. USA were _akshually_ like,
We were going to sell more Patriot missiles to the Saudis, you idiots. Your cheap-ass drones are bad for business. That is an unforgivable sin.
**This all seems so sudden to us, but none of this was sudden.**
Marco Rubio has always been promoting regime change in Cuba, and Big Oil and Israel have always been angry at the Iranians, but did you know that Trump asked John Bolten about acquiring Greenland, back in 2019?

Don't expect the American public to be of any political help, Europe. **The US public doesn't actually mind all of this military overextension, since there aren't lots of body bags returning home.** The USA is an empire. That's just the cost of doing business in Nueva Roma.
Americans view Europe as a quaint, open-air museum with no air conditioning, warm beer, and too many brown people with the wrong religion. It's little more than a convenient pit-stop with 600 million potential iPhone-purchasers , on the way to Moscow and the Middle East.
All Americans care about is ICE and the price of petrol. Trump fired the head of Homeland Security, the ICE director is resigning, and the shale pumps are getting turned back on, so they're good.

Shale oil? Yeah, you remember, the sector of the USA economy that was very recently getting crushed by the lowest (real) oil price in history? Yeah, that one.
