Rachel Maddow claims "it is the Gulf Arab states" that stand to benefit most from Iran being weakened. She said Gulf states "rented the services of the United States military to start a war that they want."

In a nearly 20-minute segment titled "Follow the MONEY," Rachel Maddow mentioned Israel—which has publicly called for U.S.-led regime change in Iran—only twice.

In that portion of the segment, she states: "I mean, there's a lot of attention on Israel and indeed Israel and the United States have worked together in the bombing campaign, not only the one that started today, but the campaign against Iran in June. But it is the Gulf Arab states who are arrayed against Iran, who want Iran removed as their regional rival.

It is those countries that have been assiduously buying up members of the Trump family and the Trump administration with just astonishing amounts of cash in recent years, and particularly in recent months.

And now for that low, low price, they appear to have rented the services of the United States military to start a war that they want, but that the American people do not." VIDEO: A clip from her MSNOW analysis

And the gaslighting continues

You fuckers were bitching just yesterday that about how Middle East didn’t seem to care about Iran. 

They can only sell this to a limited audience.

No one else believe it wasn't Israel that's wanted this the most.

Lmao. Full on damage control. The perception of Israel across the globe is at an all time low, I imagine.

 

Yourselves said that Saudi Arabia wanted normalization with Israel before October 7.

 Maddow's mask came off when she wished the cheeto a full recovery when he got covid.

Iran is literally firing missiles at most gulf states, why is it so inconceivable they're sick of Iran? Iran sure seems to blame them

Because is Israel the one that is destabilizing the region and Muslim Solidarity should mean something (even if they openly shit on the religious sect that they dislike). 

Era posted a news article essentially saying the same but because it was just Saudi Arabia they could just argue “rich fuckers trying to control the region”.  

They really cannot fathom that maybe Iran was also in the propaganda game given how much they influenced terrorist groups and militias in the region.

[Boredfrom]

The possibility that the Gulf states prefer tolerating Zionism over a militant Islamist Theocracy, that actively made things worse for everyone living in the region, is inconceivable for ERA.

Surah Al-An’am (6:159)
Indeed, you ˹O Prophet˺ are not responsible whatsoever for those who have divided their faith and split into sects. Their judgment rests only with Allah. And He will inform them of what they used to do.

May those who wrongfully believe in the line of Ali succession return to the true fold of Sunni Islam.

Bernie Sanders has gotten the side-eye from me since the 2016 election cycle.

Him platforming this dude so hard should not really come to much of a shock for anyone who has been seriously paying attention and is truly capable of reading between the lines.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/platner-sat-for-lengthy-interview-with-antisemitic-conspiracy-theorist-said-he-was-%E2%80%98longtime-fan%E2%80%99-of-his-show.1450075/page-2#post-152014618

Why?

I am of the personal opinion that the foreign smoke that has surrounded him for a long time is incredibly suspicious.


That two of the three major 2016 Presidential candidates had ties to the USSR dating back the 80's, and that they both had a shared enemy in Hilary Clinton.

I'm not one of those people that thinks she was owed the Presidency; that she'd "earned the job".

But I do believe that there was a very deliberate, large scale foreign government campaign to 1) deny Clinton in that specific election and 2) drive the hyperpolarization of US politics into overdrive. And that Sanders himself played a role in all of that, witting or unwitting, and continues to do so even today with regard to the latter.

That taken from a high level, a lot of his influence in the last decade+ can almost be seen to serve fascist interest more than democratic ones. How much the scales were tipped in '16 were especially relevant in terms of the impact of fascist creep.

TL;DR: I think he's either a useful idiot or directly compromised for Russia, and that he's one of their political tools on the US political "left".

That both him and Donald Trump had suspicious associations with the USSR dating back to the 1980's, that both of them have hovered around US culture for decades but had their most significant political elevation at the exact same time, and that all this was happening as Russia/Putin was beginning the process of their 21st century fascist imperial conquest starting with Georgia in 2008, then Crimea, and now to Ukraine today.

That Hilary Clinton is one of the few long term experienced US politicians who could correctly and clear-headedly assess and confront all of this stuff, and is a big part as to why so much effort was taken to deny her ascension.

There are reasons to criticize Bernie but this is deeply conspiracy-pilled.

I don't really think it is.

I see him as a political agitator.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/platner-sat-for-lengthy-interview-with-antisemitic-conspiracy-theorist-said-he-was-%E2%80%98longtime-fan%E2%80%99-of-his-show.1450075/page-2#post-152015482

It is.

Also, I'm not sure the phrase "political agitator" means what you think it means. It is not an inherently bad thing and is often about shaking up the status quo to raise awareness for your cause.

Oh I'm aware. I'm saying that he's an agitator to disrupt the "status quo" of American Democracy on the behalf of a global fascist movement.

I understand that you and the vast majority of people aren't going to agree with this. That you'll handwave it as a hoax and conspiratorial thinking. But I don't really find it unbelievable at all, and him platforming dudes just like this only serves to reinforce my opinion of this. That he's here to erode the political center, just like how the middle class has been eroded economically too.

There's been a number of things over the years that have added to this too, but I haven't kept tabs because frankly, Bernie Sanders isn't worth thinking about an ounce in the scheme. There are more serious, pressing political problems facing us than what Bernie's doing, saying, thinking, endorsing.

Lol I don't believe that at all. But you guys sure do catch feels for Bernie criticism real quick, even to this day. And that's part of my exact point, though I know you won't understand.

This isn't a thread about Bernie Sanders anyway, it's about how the Democrats are about to run a dude for a Senate seat who knowingly wore a notorious Nazi icon for many years.

I'm not really interested in discussing Bernie Sanders or arguing with people who are ardent defenders of his honor.

 User banned (1 month): concern trolling over a series of posts

To steer it a bit from a derail back to the topic of this thread: this situation is an example that you can't do diplomacy without having military might to back it up. Deals made can and will be broken if the other side thinks they can get away with it. Or they will never even be made at all if one side is powerful enough they can just bully the other side with unrealistic demands. We see this happening right now with Iran.

So any investment into the military of the EU is also an investment in diplomacy to be able to deal with Russia. The one is dependant on the other. You can't trust pinky swear promises. Iran couldn't from the US and the EU can't from Russia.

Now what I do agree with is that we should try and put as many of those investments towards being more independent from the US and build up our own weapon manufacturing capabilities. But that takes time.

I don't really agree that the cases are similar.


I do agree that Europe should be more independent from the USA, and all this about building our own "defensive capabilities" (we should also be more concrete about what this refers to) sounds great on paper. But in practice what is actually happening is that the military industry that the EU is propping up with the pretext of the Ukraine war is directly benefiting American and Israeli weapon businesses and indirectly sustaining the current Palestinian genocide. On the other hand, these same weapon businesses and corporations we rely on are actively fostering fascist movements and groups which oftentimes have links with the military industrial complex. And, importantly, this is already happening inside Ukraine:

Ukraine doesn't have a Nazi government like Putin likes to pretend to justify his imperialist war, but EU public money funded with our taxes is being used to prop up

family in lebanon getting bombed again by israel. piece of shit genocidal country

Other MiaKhalifera members who are more reasonable:

Same. It was bound to pop off again sooner or later. The israelis were bombing Lebanon daily despite the ceasefire. It's no way to live...

Same, it's been a whole year of bombing and it's about to get worse again. Every time I'm not sure if this is the one that's going to get someone in my family because there's a lot of them and they're spread out.

Don't worry Asses of Dreams is there to scold people 

I'm aware of the gag, see the previous thread I linked.

But there's still a line to walk and the post I quoted read to me like it was going a bit far in insulting the way the poster who fell for it usually posts and what they had to say. At the end of the day, the thread title is INTENDED to trick people and make them upset enough to react given the high emotions surrounding the subject matter. Point out when someone fell for it and have a laugh, sure. But the "why read when you can post big text" felt like a bit much.

Asses crying over Pandas warning..

  User warned: didn't read the OP - the thread is about Weird AL and not AI

I'd say this joke has diminishing returns personally but it wasn't a shot at you for making it, I assume you weren't aware of the other thread when doing so. Honestly, I just remembered that thread when reading this one and posted a link to it, no deeper meaning to me doing so. No need to call their thread worse or anything like that...

That said, isn't the whole point that the OP is suppose to give itself away? People are getting official warnings on their account for "not reading the OP", so if you're saying you were trying to ALSO trick them with the OP, I think those warnings are in poor taste. (Which, to be clear, is on the mods, not you)

Especially the one Panda got, "User warned: didn't read the OP - the thread is about Weird AL and not AI". Like, let's be real here, this thread IS about AI. This isn't a thread meant to talk about Weird Al. It's a thread meant to make people think about AI and react to the notion that someone might like AI. This whole thread has been weird about this from the jump imo, bad vibes. Like people actually getting warnings for falling for a trick, those people then having others insult them and call them bots (which is nonsensical because if someone was a bot they wouldn't fall for the AI/Al trick to begin with).

They should have read the OP instead of rushing in with the usual Ctrl+C, Clt+V post with no additional thoughts.

more

I agree and the extent of the reaction should be "lol you got tricked" or making jokes about the thread itself, not "OFFICIAL WARNING. READ THE OP NEXT TIME" alongside users insulting the way they normally post and accusing them of being a bot. The reaction here is going into holier than thou territory about not falling for an intended trick.

Even saying that, let's also acknowledge that according to the OP themselves, they wrote the entire post with the intention of not giving away the trick. So even if you do "read the OP", you have to know who Weird Al is and recognize the names of the songs being posted. If you were unfamiliar because you, say, aren't the exact age and nationality that would lend oneself to being familiar with Weird Al, then you could still read the OP and think they were posting AI videos. At which point the issue isn't "didn't read the OP", it's "failed to understand the OP's joke" or "didn't watch the videos and do research on the things listed in the OP", and neither of those should be getting this reaction.

But I also recognize that is a conversational dead end on this forum... and the weekend is over anyway, so it's time to move on.
