    It's not retaliation, it's escalation. Israel started this.
  • @therealkakitron
    "The Iranian attack" lol you mean the Iranian very subtle and announced response to Israel blowing up their embassy. Zero mention of that.
  • @ld9044
    Israel can take care of itself. No need to support them.
  • @SaddamTrading
    This old ambassador is sickening? Finish of Hamas? You mean finish of the palestinan civilians. Its sickening
  • @capistrano99
    This is not our problem and it's not on our land. Let them resolve their own problem.
  • @adamrussell658
    Why did Israel bomb a consulate? Seriously. What was the motivation to do something as stupid and illegal as that?
  • @willengel2458
    when all the dust is settled. it's real and the empire will end up as losers.
  • @lancemoyer85
    How do these clowns always say we can come up with the money? How about some domestic relief? We have a massive deficit and out of control inflation. F voting for any politicians who vote in favor of sending even more of our tax dollars to this endless war!!!
  • @goofinhiemer1153
    The consulate attack was Israel trying to provoke a response. The old "stop hitting yourself" gaslighting still works.
  • @EricGray-zr2es
    Israel attacked Iran first. Iran has the right to defend themselves.
  • @lianghao7128
    I heard they call themselves the god chosen ones. They should seek help from god, not people.
  • @carykalscheuer6429
    They should enter into peace talks to see if they can agree on a peace arrangement.

    "The Bolshevik leaders here, most of whom are Jews and 90 percent of whom are returned exiles, care little for Russia or any other country but are internationalists and they are trying to start a worldwide social revolution" (see David R. Francis', " Russia from the American Embassy, April, 1916-November, 1918 "
  • @TSCREW1
    Should it be mentioned that Iran was responding to a provocative/criminal attack by Israel? 🤔
