Because it’s a democracy in a land of dictators and theocracies. Because it supports western values from a country in the Middle East’s perspective. Because Iran is the largest financial baker of anti-western militant groups and governments in the world. Because the only people that openly buy Iranian oil are the Chinese and we are at economic war with them.
Are these reason enough to support Israel vs Iran?

Are the folks in the ME like the last indigenous people in the world that actually hold any power?

Which ones do you consider indigenous? Arabs in the Arabian peninsula, I suppose.

What? Europeans are indigenous. Chinese, Japanese, most of Asia…all indigenous.

Nothing is going to happen. Biden just said he’s not going to intervene and will let Israel and Iran fight it out. No point in getting involved with a country that we give billions of dollars worth of arms to and they give us nothing in return. I see this as a win-win.

Thread title should read..
"Toddler launches attack against Pitbull "
Iran celebrating getting all their missiles and drones shot down.

They share incredibly valuable middle eastern intel with us.

So...we gave 10 billion to Iran, which they used to buy missiles and drones.
And then shoot them at Israel, who we give BILLIONS to develop and maintain a crazy defense system.
The missiles and drones get shot out the shy, ineffectually, by the Iron Dome.
So...basically we are just out massive amounts of money,
While in debt and the common people are getting kicked by inflation, and nothing changes?

Most of the money we give is for DOD contractor gift cards.
I don’t know the details of Iran by any means. But it would be like us giving gift cards to Iran for Lockheed Martin missile purchases and gift cards to Israel for Northrop Grumman missile defense systems.
I’m absolutely not justifying or saying we should do it, just that it’s not like (or we aren’t supposed to be) giving them actual cash they then go and buy Chinese missiles with.
ETA: so a good bit of that money is coming back directly to the USA DOD contractors and thus jobs and the economy. Again, not justifying it. Just reiterating we aren’t just sending brief cases of money to never be seen again. Usually…

Obama literally send pallets of cash to Iran.

Every single administration sends massive amounts of cash to whomever will play ball, wash it out, and send the most back to them and their people.
The Ukraine deal is a massive money laundering scheme

This baw has some toned calves. It looks like he never skips leg days. I don’t understand why he is always falling down. Is it possible he is tripping over his own calf muscles?

They would be right. It's not often that human behavior can be generalized with accuracy, but it does happen every now and then.
Humanity is cyclical like that and it's repeated itself (for those who care enough to actually look) over and over in every known culture throughout the thousands of years of recorded history.
