When Iran found out Reagan was secretly supplying Iran and Iraq with weapons during their 8 year war. In total 500,000 people died and cost over a $1 trillion.

Reagan made a secret campaign deal with Ruhollah Khomeini. If Khomeini would wait to release the embassy hostages until he was president he would supply Iran with weapons through/from Israel. Another secret deal for hostages in Lebanon all came out in the Iran-Contra affair.

Reagan agreed with Khomeini he would not sell arms to Iraq, but gave Iraq billions of dollars in aide to by weapons through intermediaries. For example Iraq spent over $250 million on Bell helicopters for “agriculture” purposes.


In the 1980’s Israel and Iran a had secret alliances.

Almost all the problems can be traced back to oil, but blamed on religion.

We've been at "ODDS" with Islam since before we were a country. Look up Christopher Hitchins commentary on Thomas Jefferson and the Barbary pirates. We aren't the problem, as much as marxist democrats and libertarians want it to be all our fault.

You just keep repeating the same few talking points over and over

every time they get debunked
When did this happen? When did you "debunk" the fact of Islamic terrorism or who the infidels are or the danger of Iranian weapons being connected to terrorists? I don't recall you debunking ANY of that.

quote:

you either claim it's irrelevant or that there is no proof
You don't understand how scholarship works.

1. You made a claim that was false
2. I corrected you
3. You tried to rebut with conspiracy theories that aren't germane to the topic and aren't even factual anyway
4. I provided further substantiation to the points which you ignored

How did you make it through school? This is what should have happened

1. You make stupid claims about infidels
2. You get corrected
3. You research and find out, what do you know, you were wrong. I guess terrorists ARE actually a priority and we can't let Iran supply the terrorists. I guess I'll move the Israel conspiracies lower on the totem pole

quote:

propaganda videos
Otherwise known as facts. Ok. Keep being ignorant and saying that you're not an infidel and that Israelis who have lived near you your whole life are more dangerous than actual terrorists who have actually attacked us

What is wrong with you?

September 11, 2001 (9/11) Attacks: While executed by al-Qaeda operatives, the attacks were launched from Afghanistan while under Taliban rule, leading to the US-led invasion.

The US War in Afghanistan (2001-2021): Over the two decades of the war, the Taliban insurgency was responsible for the deaths of thousands of American troops and contractors.

Targeting American Personnel and Facilities: The Taliban consistently targeted US military and civilian personnel, as well as Western interests in Afghanistan.

High-Profile Attacks in Kabul: The Taliban conducted several large-scale attacks in the capital, including:

2015 Kabul Attack Spree: A series of attacks between August 7-10, 2015, killed over 60 people, including one NATO serviceman in an attack on Camp Integrity.

2019 Attacks: On May 8, 2019, they attacked a USAID-funded aid organization, killing four civilians and a policeman. In September, a suicide car bomb killed 12, including an American paratrooper and a Romanian soldier.

Specific Campaigns Against Foreigners: The Taliban launched numerous one-sided attacks specifically against US-led coalition forces in Afghanistan, particularly in the lead-up to the 2020 Doha Agreement.

The Haqqani Network: A major Taliban-affiliated group, the Haqqani Network, was designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the US in 2012 due to its involvement in attacks against US military and civilian personnel and Western interests

Israeli and US intelligence agencies carried out 9/11.

I'm not a court of law, I don't need to "prove it". I can look at evidence and things not allowed in court and make my own fully informed opinion. I can't make the government do anything about these things anymore than I can make them release the Epstein files, or have admitted the CIA/Mossad was behind the JFK assassination.

As already mentioned, nanothermite was used in the attacks. Only 3 countries have access to it as it's a highly regulated - The US, India and Poland. And then it's restricted to only certain places within them.

A study in 2009 found evidence it was used.

Israel and the US carried out 9/11. The foundation of your arguments are meaningless.

You laid it out.

A country that has used multiple terrorists attacks against us has a secret nuclear program that refuses to allow inspectors.

Opinion. As in subjective. As in not factual

quote:

nanothermite was used in the attacks
NIST Findings:
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in its investigation of the collapse, concluded that the towers' destruction was caused by the structural damage from the impacts and the subsequent fires, which weakened the steel and led to the collapse.

Lack of Supporting Evidence:
Scientific analyses conducted by NIST and other researchers have not found conclusive evidence to support the presence of significant quantities of explosives or thermite in the debris.

Alternative Explanations:
NIST and others have offered alternative explanations for the molten metal and iron-rich microspheres, attributing them to the high temperatures generated by the fires and the melting of steel.

Peer Review Concerns:
The paper claiming the discovery of nano-thermite in the dust was published in a journal with a controversial history, and the editor resigned after its publication.

Even if the US were involved, even if nanothermite was one of the factors, it doesn't change that bombing Iran was completely justified

You're just an official story repeating bot. The NIST investigation has been debunked multiple times. It was part of the coverup, just like the Warren Commission was part of the coverup with JFK.

Still untrue. MAYBE they were assets. But that doesn't change in the slightest that the Iran bombings were totally justified

What are these "multiple" attacks? You haven't even listed one yet.

Your response is conspiracy theory speculation that is only one perspective of several regarding 9/11 and doesn't even diminish the justification for us bombing Iranian nuclear capabilities

You were the one who used 9/11 to justify Iran.

It was done by Israel, not Iran.

Everything else you do is just repeat the official story and claim anything else is false. You aren't worth a shite guy.

You claimed 9/11 was done by terrorists and that's why they needed to be dealt with.

In truth it was done by Zionists and blamed on Muslims to get Christians and Muslims fighting each other for the benefit of Israel.

I've known 9/11 was an inside job for 24 years and have wanted to be wrong about it.

I'm not.

It would be so nice if the official story wasn't bullshite, but it is.
