So, Sina, all of this is going on.

The U.S. is continuing to stumble over its dick as the most clearly

incompetent globe-estriding military empire ever.

Why are they doing this?

Why does Iran just keep pissing them off?

Well, that's a very good question.

Sadly, sadly, Iran is a threat to the U.S.

But threat to the U.S. is not actually the full sentence.

It's a threat to the U.S. Empire.

Okay?

This is the first thing.

This is what you have to understand.

Iran, sure, it is a threat.

It's a threat to something that exists purely in the brains of American war planners, politicians,

and like the pundit class, which is the untrammeled power of American empire to go and do whatever

it wants. Right. So Iran, with the country being over 80 million, a very large country, a

sizable portion of West Asia, has for the last

40 years just simply said no, right? American hegemony has stopped with sort of, has been checked

in a sense by Iran in purely the literal sense, in the sense that the U.S. has bases everywhere in the region,

has bases essentially all over the region, the Middle East that is, and that includes the Gulf as

well, except for Iran, right? This is a big, big problem for the U.S., right? So all of you have

probably seen the sort of graphic like, how could Iran place itself in the middle of our bases, right, with all the sort of bases?
