    My position is that our neocon led foreign policy, which has us absolutely stretched as an empire, spending trillions on wars and maintaining 800+ military bases around the world, will be the downfall of the United States. We are going down the same path as other former great empires. We are...

    Just going off of what they are explicitly stating and what their actions have proven out.

    Israel/iran

    I think a large part of that specific issue is us having 800+ military bases around the world, involving ourselves in numerous conflicts, especially unpopular ones in that region like Israel's conflict in Gaza. The Houthis explicitly stated they were attacking our ships because of Gaza. We...

    Hey, if Iran comes and invades us here, then game on. Until then, we don't need to be over there playing in their sandbox.

    Why do you think they hate us? Do you think starting another forever regime change war over there will make them hate us more or less?

    Israel/iran

    An American one on the upstream side. Drilling and Completions. There's little focus on the core business - finding and producing hydrocarbons. Much more focus on DEI initiatives, stock buy backs and buying out other companies to increase reserves on the books. No real worthy discoveries in...

    As someone who used to work for a "super major" oil company, I can confirm. The same shit that's caused Boeing to be a hollow shell of its former self is happening to the major oil companies.

    Israel/iran

    Our country and entire industries being ran by MBAs who have to demonstrate to shareholders perpetual profit, quarter after quarter, leads to companies cannibalizing themselves eventually. Just like what's happening at Boeing - and many other big corporations in the US. Beyond that, the US is...

    So? The ME is a shit hole. We shouldn't fight trillion+ dollar wars because a country is a shit hole, only to turn it into a bigger shit hole. How is that in our interests?

    Israel/iran

    People should learn up the history of the region and understand why other countries hate Israel. Hint: it has nothing to do with religion. In fact, early Zionist's were considered allies to the Islamists, until they started taking land. Fun fact: Israel started as a terrorist state...

    We've eliminated any incentive for non-nuclear countries to not pursue getting nukes. Look at what we did to Gaddafi.

    I know. The amount of foreign flags (Israel's) in the halls and offices of Congress and the Senate is sickening. AIPAC spends hundreds of billions buying off politicians and influencing our politics for the gain of a foreign power. How that's been allowed is absolutely disgraceful.

    Israel/iran

    I agree that our foreign policy is unhinged. We are good bedfellows with Israel on that front. We should have nothing to do with the ME. Israel can fight its own battles. Supporting Israel in all of its wars and conflicts in the region is inherently against US interests. All the previous...
