@@michaelshattuck1874 Dude, I'm in California where Biden supposedly beat Trump by 4 million votes yet 4 republicans on the same ticket won their seats for the first time in decades. Did 4 million people only vote Biden and nothing else down the ticket? Or did 2 million of them vote Biden but then (R) down the ticket? Because that's the only way that happens.
Or when he talked about Iran not wanting a strong Iraq in the Iran Iraq war, not talking about America supporting Iraq and supplying them with materials for chemical weapons
An had a democratically elected govt in the fifties. The CIA wanted their oil, killed their president and reinstalled a deposed monarch who would play American. I’m not impressed. It’s all theiving and crap.
He means the total dismantling of the military. Afghanistan is propping up a weak government after regime change. Remember Desert Storm? What we did to Saddam's military in two days, could now be done to Iran's in one. Trump won't allow a regime change/occupation quagmire. But that doesn't mean he won't use the stick.
Jono Arnold your comment is a low iq comment. The war with Afghanistan was done in less than a week. We spent years occupying with their new government’s cooperation to bring stability and protect Afghanistan and other allied middle eastern countries like Israel from terrorist
Half of what Soleimani has done as far as having missiles shot at Israel and wanting as much blood as possible from Americans and more so to Israel is because the CIA and Mossad took out his favorite circle jerk partner Imad Mughniyeh. Unless you don't knows how all the players are that was the Tony Soprano of Hezbollah. He had the Lebanon CIA Station Chief killed, architect of of the Beirut bombings, etc., etc. etc. Mugniyeh had more American blood on his hands at the time. Soleimani fought with the U.S. to defeat the the Taliban and when Iran was labeled a state sponsor of terror he started equipping Iraqi's to lay IED's in Iraq. Fuck both those guys. There is a Special place in hell for both of them! Mugniyeh was taken out by a car bomb in Damascus! Now his son who he named Jihad pops up every now and then. Bush gave the order to take out that Hezbollah dip shit and there was a little backlash from it. I'm a Veteran and Obama pulled us out of Iraq when the then Iraqi PM was telling us to lay off the Qud's in Iraq that were financing our death. It got really creative then. Assad emptied his jails of all Islamic nut jobs in 03 to come and fight the U.S. and when we pulled out they went back to Syria and formed ISIS! His father was anti Saddam and probably would've done the same if we went all the way to Baghdad. During the Persian Gulf War the SAS team Bravo two Zero trying to take out Scuds was running for Syria. One got out through Syria. So basically we had to go back and fight aside the Iraqi's to liberate the same cities so many Americans gave their lives to take. I'm a Libertarian now as a Civilian. I will say Clinton didn't have the balls to let Americans go kill or capture Bin Laden because of Somalia. So basically he allowed Bin Laden to arm Somali's, bomb 2 American embassies, and the first World Trade Center attack, the USS Cole and Tony Blair was the main reason the US was involved in the Former Yugoslavia where a genocide against Muslims was taking place. Where we said never again afte WW2.He went in front of Congress, not Clinton. I like blow jobs also so I can't blame the guy for getting head when Newt shut shit down. Obama would've been a hero if he killed Soleimani! Trump did and the New Left lost their shit because he listened to his Generals and used Intel to kill him. Trump is pulling troops out of these long ass wars, and killing instrumental people while Congress is basically yanking one of his balls. He is an ass but imagine if they worked together?

Even many of the drug addicted have severe mental illnesses. Many had homes and families and the families couldn’t deal with their illness. I worked in the Mental Health field most of my life. In the old days, if someone was mentally ill, they kept them hospitalized until they got them stabilized. Found medications that worked and had follow up out patient therapy. Now, they hold the person for a day and let them go. Their families can’t handle them, especially if they are violent and they end up on the street. As a society, we really don’t care about these people. They don’t vote and the politicians lie about getting it solved.
@nomar Dinkleberg Seems like that's all they've been for awhile now. Do I believe that majority of the men and women that work for the CIA have the beat intentions, yes. But like everything else, when politics is involved, it all goes to shit.
@nomar Dinkleberg How, I thought their was a political uprising against their secular government, was their not?Why would american agencies help topple a democratic, secular government with a thriving economy?It doesn't make much sense to me.
@nomar Dinkleberg Actually the CIA spearheaded a coup to install a regime, like you say, but that is not the current regime in power. They installed their puppet, the people of Iran knew that he had protection from the CIA, so they considered him a fraud, rightfully so. They offered him protection for years, eventually the people revolted and ended up putting a religious fanatic in power. When their puppet was ousted the CIA flew him back to the US to live lavishly. All of this over the fact that Iran became a democratic government and nationalized their oil supply, which was bad for the US/UK, so they worked together to install their puppet dictator who privatized their oil once again.
Former CIA agent or not... when you are THAT confident on a subject that clearly has so much nuance to it, it makes me doubt your judgment. Plus, yeah, right, everything will be over in an evening... fool me once, fool me twice...
This guy is basically wrong about everything. He's so wrong I can't help but wonder what his area of expertise was supposed to be. My understanding is that it's pretty well understood that fighting and invading Iran would be a nightmare just based their geography and 1980s equipment.
I couldn't watch it. I just clicked off at around 2 minutes, and looked for comments to take the bad taste away... This guy believes - well, 'believes' - that Iran is the single greatest sponsor of terrorism *in the world*? Not maybe the Saudis? Or maybe the Russians? Or even the Afghans? Or maybe those who supplied the various Saudi and Afghan terrorists for nearly half a century? (Now, who was that again??) Nope, it's a small-to-middling sized (and democratic) country (with lots of oil), which has never attacked anyone else in modern history. (And there's a lot wrong with Iran, but military aggression isn't it)... This guy gives idiots bad name. 'We' effectively lost in Iraq, which barely even had an army, and America was beaten by angry civilians instead - but we'd easily defeat Iran, which has some of the most highly-trained and motivated soldiers in the Middle-East, if not the world (including quite effective special forces, and the ability to call upon some powerful allies). You're right, of course - the big worry is that people as ignorant or dishonest as this are allowed to 'serve' in intelligence. Really, it's doubtful if they should be allowed to leave the house without a nanny. Staggering...
@@Microtherion it's pretty weird. I suppose he's talking about if we just let lose on Iran, ruthlessly nuked everything with ICBMs and cruise missiles, perpetrated a holocaust on women and children, and scorched the earth. We all know that kind of war is not in the cards, though. Even if it was, it's insane and would amount to a pyrrhic victory for the US. It's funny, a few years ago, I used to play table top games with a reservist naval officer. He told me why invading Iran is very unwise, based solely on a military level, and he made it seem like anyone with a cursory military education would know this. I just found an article recently written on the topic that's pretty good: nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/how-geography-would-doom-any-invasion-iran-112111 So what is this bonehead CIA agent saying? It's not just this topic, throughout the interview, he's so wrong about stuff it borders on bizarre. John Kariakou, a former CIA agent who blew the whistle on the Bush torture program, talks in his book about working with analysts in the CIA who sucked and were just lame as hell. People who had no idea what was going on. Makes me wonder.
@@wolfumz Yes... The nearest explanation I can bring to mind is that the CIA and similar 'intel' agencies (and oxymorons) are bound to put considerable emphasis on 'commitment'. That's necessary, but you'll rarely get truly iron-clad (unquestioning) commitment from anyone intelligent, so they must be constantly trading off between intellect and commitment. There's also a tendency to draw predominantly on the kids of the mega-rich, and this tendency has only increased recently. If they do that, it's sheer pot-luck whether they get a savvy, insightful princeling or a spoilt and entitled non-entity who can barely tie his shoe-laces. (Many of these same frustrations are apparent in Michael Scheuer's books). In this case, they evidently found someone who speaks with great confidence, and indifference to whether what he says is even superficially credible. That says 'commitment', for sure - just not in a good way...

I hate Obama, and his drone wars, but you're making one hell of a false equivalence. One was attacking a dictator's efforts against revolutionaries during the Arab Spring, whose only support had wavered, and whose sole reason for staying in power was the oil monopoly. The other was assassinating a beloved general (if albeit a likely terrorist, welcome to foreign politics) of an actual power, on an ally's soil for dubious reasons that lacked the support of the international community.
The only people who said nothing are the ones who are asleep (the sheep) and the lame-stream media. Anyone awake (people like me) have criticized both attacks and both Presidents.

@@Arrogan28 You sir are correct. I have spent the vast majority of my adult life in the middle east and yes the US intelligence community is misguided to put it kindly....The issue has been for the longest time that they do not listen to the guy on the ground....(Same with politicians for various reasons)....The vast majority of "Intelligence" officers have very very little real world experiences and a very short supply of common sense. They often apply their values (US) and views (often left leaning believe it or not) as an overlay to the product they are analyzing. Too bad they still value crap degrees from whatever freakin school higher than real world experience and common sense / street smarts. They are not perfect as i have pointed out but in general they are at least some what correct. But the media....they act entirely in a bias manner, this can not be argued...and it is dangerous. I don't care who the president is or what ones political side is. What the "left" or "liberal" media is doing is not good for the US and they do not care. They do not have the intention to educate the public, they have the intention to cause geopolitical unrest to mislead, intimidate, demoralize, or otherwise influence the thinking or behavior of the people....or in other words, Psychological warfare. Maybe for monitary reasons, or maybe because they just cant stand that the world doesnt conform to their ways.

People trip cause trump droned 9 people. Obama dropped over 21,000 bombs and noone said a thing. So far as I know, most people didnt even know he did it
Because Obama did it, gives trump the right to do it. I don't support Obama either. Fear isn't respect, people fear trump's ignorance. You want to call Obama out. That's cool with me, but if you can't call your own out. Then you're truly no better than the others.
@@charlesledbetter907 I think we all agree on that. I certainly do. We just use that as an example because noone was saying this stuff until Trump did it. I would hazard a guess that if Obama did the stuff Trump has been doing (the trade deals, tariffs, droning this guy, extending the olive branch to Korea and Russia) he would be idolized more than he already is. For instance this stuff about Trump separating the Mexican kids from families and putting them in Institutions that hes being lambasted for is wrong. Certainly deplorable. However Obama was doing the same thing and noone said a word. As a matter of fact Trump decreased the frequency in which it's done. Then Democrats wanted to use something they institutes against him. Obama dropped over 21,000 missiles and started 4 new wars and noone batted an eye. Obama... the way he conducted himself, walked and talked is what you want in a president but his policies were terrible. He was selling us. China didnt even greet him coming off the air force one. That's how much they didnt respect him. Say what you want, but they respect us now. So much so theres a large democracy movement in China right now where people are carrying Trump signs and marching the streets KNOWING that they could die for it. They greet him off Airforce one. Trump drones one guy (ended up 9 people died) AFTER they killed a bunch of contractors whom the guy was responsible. And everyone is saying he is a warmonger. Even people in Iran (whom I talk to through YT, FB, Quora, and Reddit) are happy that guy is no longer with us. Once again, it doesnt make it right, but all were asking for is people to be consistent with criticism cause it doesnt seem to be the case. Ot really looks like people dont mind about policies. Everyone like Obama so he literally got away with murder. People dont like Trump so every little thing is picked apart. And it seems like people aren't exactly criticizing most of his policies they just dont like the person. They dont care that we had a financial collapse under Obama. And they dont care that our economy is thriving and now were completely on foreign oil now, so much so, were exporting it. Lastly, I think were messed up for a lot of things but reguardless of party let's criticize equally.

The Quds do all of these things, they supply suicide bombs, murder civilians and absolutly terribly people. In Syria alone the Quds forces murdered thousands of people, not collateral damage from artillery or bombing, executions. The stupidity to compare Isreal and the US to Islamic extremists astounds me.

The sad truth is Bush always intended to overthrow Saddam in '91 but we he got worried after the American media and antiwar movement and European countries began to accuse the US of war crime because of the TV images on the "Highway of Death". Bush lost his nerve and ignored his generals because he was worried about his reelection. America has the greatest form of government in the world but there are countless examples of our leaders doing things that are politically expedient even if they know it is the wrong thing to do. Situations like this are the result of being beholden to a fickle and often uneducated voting public.
@@Scubuah Tell you both what, how about you guys show me proof he wasn't a terrorist and didn't kill thousands? He's been classified a terrorist since the Bush administration and Obama's as well. Just none of them did anything about it.
Everytime we've fought a military in the Middle East we've defeated them in record time. There is no WW3 if the enemy army no longer exists. The reason we didn't leave Iraq is because we started fighting the armed populace, after we had already won the "war". The US military should abandon any pretext of being a policing force to stabilize the ME. The local populace doesn't want to be given freedom, they don't want their oppressors overthrown, they just want to wallow in their ignorance. Leave them to it. If a nation threatens the US or it's allies, or proves itself a direct threat to commerce like Iran has, take steps to correct the issue peacefully, then destroy their nation militarily and move on.
@Jumpin Freedom is a strong word coming from someone defending a system that imprisons and tortures people that inform the public about the shady things the government does. Is the Iranian regime autoritarian? Yes. Would the USA invade Iran to bring them "freedom"?absolutely not. Nor did the US invade Iraq or Afghanistan to bring the people freedom. Both wars were stupid and cost the lives of thousand of people(americans and local). If you're thinking you're a patriot because you defend your government in whatever they do, I got bad news for you.
@CalvinSomething a World War isn't called a world war because it is between 2 countries but many countries across the globe. And a war in Iran would result in a WW3 because it wouldn't be just Iran but also Syria, Russia, Lebanon, probably China at some point, North Korea and maybe other states on one side and the NATO on the other. So, no, it wouldn't be a matter of a day or a week. Even if it would be just Iran. Iran has a much better aerial defense system than Iraq had for example. In the end the USA would overthrow the Iranian government, sure. But it wouldn't be that easy and it would be just the start of guerrilla warfare. That is, if we are just talking Iran vs the USA. If we're talking WW3 it wouldn't be just Iran as stated.
@CalvinSomething yes, the likelihood if a ww3 is pretty low, especially because it would end in a nuclear winter, people that seriously believe that have no political knowledge.

Lol he makes it sound like it would be a walk in the park. Iran’s landmass is 2.5 times the size of Texas, with 3 x the population of Texas. Iran’s topography is largely mountainous and has a very patriotic populace which would defend the homeland with the same fervour the Russians displayed against the Germans during WWII. To make matters even more difficult, Iran is geographically positioned where Russia and China will easily be able to provide all sorts of assistance and supplies to the Iranian resistance. This guy is nothing but a fool, but he’s right about it being over in a day because the US would realize it would have no choice but to institute a draft and begin force mobilization to the degree of which hasn’t been seen since WWII; the US public simply won’t accept that. I can’t picture Tyrone in Arkansas willingly agreeing to go get killed halfway across the world for the profits of the Military Industrial Complex.
Very well said. Although there is a large population in Iran who are "against" the Iranian regime, come war time, they will fight to defend their country. Iran is not Iraq. You hit the nail on the head.
Big words for a opinionated twist on what you think would happen, how do you know the population supports the Ayatollah first off? Research your well-formed words and it overwhelmingly shows the people inside of Iran welcome American inyerventionism against their radical terrorist-sponsoring government. Muslims don't agree with murder, Christians don't agree with murder, the only ones who actually agree with the suffering of innocent people are mentally unstable teenage Americans and those who already accepted radical extremist ideologies

Soleimani was on Obama's and Clinton's hit list. Only difference is....they were wise enough to not do it!!!!
Half of what Soleimani has done as far as having missiles shot at Israel and wanting as much blood as possible from Americans and more so to Israel is because the CIA and Mossad took out his favorite circle jerk partner Imad Mughniyeh. Unless you don't knows how all the players are that was the Tony Soprano of Hezbollah. He had the Lebanon CIA Station Chief killed, architect of of the Beirut bombings, etc., etc. etc. Mugniyeh had more American blood on his hands at the time. Soleimani fought with the U.S. to defeat the the Taliban and when Iran was labeled a state sponsor of terror he started equipping Iraqi's to lay IED's in Iraq. Fuck both those guys. There is a Special place in hell for both of them! Mugniyeh was taken out by a car bomb in Damascus! Now his son who he named Jihad pops up every now and then. Bush gave the order to take out that Hezbollah dip shit and there was a little backlash from it. I'm a Veteran and Obama pulled us out of Iraq when the then Iraqi PM was telling us to lay off the Qud's in Iraq that were financing our death. It got really creative then. Assad emptied his jails of all Islamic nut jobs in 03 to come and fight the U.S. and when we pulled out they went back to Syria and formed ISIS! His father was anti Saddam and probably would've done the same if we went all the way to Baghdad. During the Persian Gulf War the SAS team Bravo two Zero trying to take out Scuds was running for Syria. One got out through Syria. So basically we had to go back and fight aside the Iraqi's to liberate the same cities so many Americans gave their lives to take. I'm a Libertarian now as a Civilian. I will say Clinton didn't have the balls to let Americans go kill or capture Bin Laden because of Somalia. So basically he allowed Bin Laden to arm Somali's, bomb 2 American embassies, and the first World Trade Center attack, the USS Cole and Tony Blair was the main reason the US was involved in the Former Yugoslavia where a genocide against Muslims was taking place. Where we said never again afte WW2.He went in front of Congress, not Clinton. I like blow jobs also so I can't blame the guy for getting head when Newt shut shit down. Obama would've been a hero if he killed Soleimani! Trump did and the New Left lost their shit because he listened to his Generals and used Intel to kill him. Trump is pulling troops out of these long ass wars, and killing instrumental people while Congress is basically yanking one of his balls. He is an ass but imagine if they worked together?

Even many of the drug addicted have severe mental illnesses. Many had homes and families and the families couldn’t deal with their illness. I worked in the Mental Health field most of my life. In the old days, if someone was mentally ill, they kept them hospitalized until they got them stabilized. Found medications that worked and had follow up out patient therapy. Now, they hold the person for a day and let them go. Their families can’t handle them, especially if they are violent and they end up on the street.

Seems like that's all they've been for awhile now. Do I believe that majority of the men and women that work for the CIA have the beat intentions, yes. But like everything else, when politics is involved, it all goes to shit.
@nomar DinklebergAbout what, I'm curious?
@@christophermendez7372 former head Comey might be why. Hes so far left it befuddles the mind.
@nomar Dinkleberg How, I thought their was a political uprising against their secular government, was their not?Why would american agencies help topple a democratic, secular government with a thriving economy?It doesn't make much sense to me.
@nomar Dinkleberg Actually the CIA spearheaded a coup to install a regime, like you say, but that is not the current regime in power. They installed their puppet, the people of Iran knew that he had protection from the CIA, so they considered him a fraud, rightfully so. They offered him protection for years, eventually the people revolted and ended up putting a religious fanatic in power. When their puppet was ousted the CIA flew him back to the US to live lavishly. All of this over the fact that Iran became a democratic government and nationalized their oil supply, which was bad for the US/UK, so they worked together to install their puppet dictator who privatized their oil once again.
Former CIA agent or not... when you are THAT confident on a subject that clearly has so much nuance to it, it makes me doubt your judgment. Plus, yeah, right, everything will be over in an evening... fool me once, fool me twice...
This guy is basically wrong about everything. He's so wrong I can't help but wonder what his area of expertise was supposed to be.
My understanding is that it's pretty well understood that fighting and invading Iran would be a nightmare just based their geography and 1980s equipment.
I couldn't watch it. I just clicked off at around 2 minutes, and looked for comments to take the bad taste away... This guy believes - well, 'believes' - that Iran is the single greatest sponsor of terrorism *in the world*? Not maybe the Saudis? Or maybe the Russians? Or even the Afghans? Or maybe those who supplied the various Saudi and Afghan terrorists for nearly half a century? (Now, who was that again??)
Nope, it's a small-to-middling sized (and democratic) country (with lots of oil), which has never attacked anyone else in modern history. (And there's a lot wrong with Iran, but military aggression isn't it)... This guy gives idiots bad name. 'We' effectively lost in Iraq, which barely even had an army, and America was beaten by angry civilians instead - but we'd easily defeat Iran, which has some of the most highly-trained and motivated soldiers in the Middle-East, if not the world (including quite effective special forces, and the ability to call upon some powerful allies). You're right, of course - the big worry is that people as ignorant or dishonest as this are allowed to 'serve' in intelligence. Really, it's doubtful if they should be allowed to leave the house without a nanny. Staggering...
@@Microtherion it's pretty weird. I suppose he's talking about if we just let lose on Iran, ruthlessly nuked everything with ICBMs and cruise missiles, perpetrated a holocaust on women and children, and scorched the earth. We all know that kind of war is not in the cards, though. Even if it was, it's insane and would amount to a pyrrhic victory for the US.
It's funny, a few years ago, I used to play table top games with a reservist naval officer. He told me why invading Iran is very unwise, based solely on a military level, and he made it seem like anyone with a cursory military education would know this. I just found an article recently written on the topic that's pretty good:
nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/how-geography-would-doom-any-invasion-iran-112111
So what is this bonehead CIA agent saying? It's not just this topic, throughout the interview, he's so wrong about stuff it borders on bizarre. John Kariakou, a former CIA agent who blew the whistle on the Bush torture program, talks in his book about working with analysts in the CIA who sucked and were just lame as hell. People who had no idea what was going on. Makes me wonder.
@@wolfumz Yes... The nearest explanation I can bring to mind is that the CIA and similar 'intel' agencies (and oxymorons) are bound to put considerable emphasis on 'commitment'. That's necessary, but you'll rarely get truly iron-clad (unquestioning) commitment from anyone intelligent, so they must be constantly trading off between intellect and commitment. There's also a tendency to draw predominantly on the kids of the mega-rich, and this tendency has only increased recently. If they do that, it's sheer pot-luck whether they get a savvy, insightful princeling or a spoilt and entitled non-entity who can barely tie his shoe-laces. (Many of these same frustrations are apparent in Michael Scheuer's books). In this case, they evidently found someone who speaks with great confidence, and indifference to whether what he says is even superficially credible. That says 'commitment', for sure - just not in a good way...

Because Obama did it, gives trump the right to do it. I don't support Obama either. Fear isn't respect, people fear trump's ignorance. You want to call Obama out. That's cool with me, but if you can't call your own out. Then you're truly no better than the others.
@@charlesledbetter907 I think we all agree on that. I certainly do. We just use that as an example because noone was saying this stuff until Trump did it. I would hazard a guess that if Obama did the stuff Trump has been doing (the trade deals, tariffs, droning this guy, extending the olive branch to Korea and Russia) he would be idolized more than he already is. For instance this stuff about Trump separating the Mexican kids from families and putting them in Institutions that hes being lambasted for is wrong. Certainly deplorable. However Obama was doing the same thing and noone said a word. As a matter of fact Trump decreased the frequency in which it's done. Then Democrats wanted to use something they institutes against him. Obama dropped over 21,000 missiles and started 4 new wars and noone batted an eye. Obama... the way he conducted himself, walked and talked is what you want in a president but his policies were terrible. He was selling us. China didnt even greet him coming off the air force one. That's how much they didnt respect him. Say what you want, but they respect us now. So much so theres a large democracy movement in China right now where people are carrying Trump signs and marching the streets KNOWING that they could die for it. They greet him off Airforce one. Trump drones one guy (ended up 9 people died) AFTER they killed a bunch of contractors whom the guy was responsible. And everyone is saying he is a warmonger. Even people in Iran (whom I talk to through YT, FB, Quora, and Reddit) are happy that guy is no longer with us. Once again, it doesnt make it right, but all were asking for is people to be consistent with criticism cause it doesnt seem to be the case. Ot really looks like people dont mind about policies. Everyone like Obama so he literally got away with murder. People dont like Trump so every little thing is picked apart. And it seems like people aren't exactly criticizing most of his policies they just dont like the person. They dont care that we had a financial collapse under Obama. And they dont care that our economy is thriving and now were completely on foreign oil now, so much so, were exporting it. Lastly, I think were messed up for a lot of things but reguardless of party let's criticize equally.

No wars today pal
Can we have a war on hunger and poverty?
@Toori Baba sad but true. Eisenhower tried to warn us about the M.I.C, but as long as American keep sipping that "imperialistic-patriotism" bullshit it will keep getting trillions😥😢😭
Exactly
Me Rodriguez we have one....how well has that worked out....God damn
Toori Baba what trillions?
And we already have had a war on poverty. Its been a failure. Give me a break.
It's the commander in chief man of course he makes the final call. And this was a message of strength and an example not to mess around, and not to attack our troops in the middle east.
I am falling in love with Joe Rogan's shows. He reminds me a lot of Art Bell, only more honest and believable.
I too remember Art Bell!!
More honest and believable? Art bell was ALWAYS skeptical and asked the right questions. If his guest/caller was a weirdo, he'd call him out. Organize your thoughts before you shit them out of your ass
@@TheCarsonJohnnyShow Get some help dude. I meant what I said. Just cuz my opinion differs from yours doesn't make me wrong. That said, opinions are like assholes, except yours. You are all asshole. I was a big Art Bell fan. Listened to him ALL the time, and no, he was NOT "ALWAYS skeptical", nor did he "ALWAYS" ask the right questions. Perhaps you should get hold of yourself and have a nocturnal emission over it tonight.
I would like to appologise to all those who came here seeking objective truth from a "former CIA agent".
There is no such thing as a former CIA agent.

RIGHT!????
Regime change and guerilla warfare are completely different to a confrontation between standing armies with the intent of blowing up a nation and making sure not even a lizard could survive in the country.
@@mattmarzula "nation building" gtfoh. Where was the nation building in Afghanistan? They just left as soon as Iraq needed some troops. The one road that went intercity in Afghanistan, which was important for transportation and infrastructure, didn't get finished because your warmongering army prioritized starting another war. There is no nation building if an Army walks into a country, with biased reasons, kills a bunch of leaders and leaves the rest up to the people.

I think you are confused about who he was helping, the QUDS forces are charged with fomenting rebellion in EVERY country in the region in order to overthrow any middle eastern government not controlled by IRAN. With the ultimate goal of isolating and destroying Isreal, causing a genocide of jews not seen since Hitler. Obviously that mission puts Quds at odds with the United states.
Rory Oliver so basically he was doing exactly the opposite of what horrors the USA and Israel have been doing in the Mid East ok 👌
@@Synchronite ^
@@Synchronite Bee Ready lol if America or Isreal wanted to they could flatten any country in the Middle east, literally. The United States shows unbelievable restraint in fighting wars, they dont murder women and children in retaliation for attacks on our soldiers. We don't target movie theaters or markets to terrorize the population when we cant find the soldiers because they act like civilians. The Quds do all of these things, they supply suicide bombs, murder civilians and absolutly terribly people. In Syria alone the Quds forces murdered thousands of people, not collateral damage from artillery or bombing, executions.
The stupidity to compare Isreal and the US to Islamic extremists astounds me.
Rory Oliver The US military doesn’t kill women and children??? 😂 What kinda comic books you been reading kid?
Avg accounts say The war in Iraq killed 500k civilians
Ever heard of Japan? Do you know what an nuclear bomb is dick head? Yeah we dropped that on babies grandmothers dogs fish 2x!!!

This is not what the truth sounds like. I know that for sure.
Look at 5:22. Definitely a sign he’s not being truthful.
Remember when Bush told the shia to rise up against Saddam and then left them to rot
They were supposed to rise up.
@@davecolvin7969 they did rise up
And then Saddam slaughtered them while the US watched
they rose up and gave iraq to iran.
The sad truth is Bush always intended to overthrow Saddam in '91 but we he got worried after the American media and antiwar movement and European countries began to accuse the US of war crime because of the TV images on the "Highway of Death". Bush lost his nerve and ignored his generals because he was worried about his reelection. America has the greatest form of government in the world but there are countless examples of our leaders doing things that are politically expedient even if they know it is the wrong thing to do.
Situations like this are the result of being beholden to a fickle and often uneducated voting public.
@@roryoliver6743 and when his son did it there were no accusations of war crimes and no Anti war movement

This guy is overestimating himself
“It’ll be over in an evening” why do I feel like I’ve heard this exact same talking point before about a different middle eastern nation 😂
Everytime we've fought a military in the Middle East we've defeated them in record time. There is no WW3 if the enemy army no longer exists. The reason we didn't leave Iraq is because we started fighting the armed populace, after we had already won the "war".
The US military should abandon any pretext of being a policing force to stabilize the ME. The local populace doesn't want to be given freedom, they don't want their oppressors overthrown, they just want to wallow in their ignorance. Leave them to it. If a nation threatens the US or it's allies, or proves itself a direct threat to commerce like Iran has, take steps to correct the issue peacefully, then destroy their nation militarily and move on.
Jumpin Jehosephat Your logic is sideways. Anyways what is your opinion on Afghanistan?
@Jumpin Freedom is a strong word coming from someone defending a system that imprisons and tortures people that inform the public about the shady things the government does. Is the Iranian regime autoritarian? Yes. Would the USA invade Iran to bring them "freedom"?absolutely not. Nor did the US invade Iraq or Afghanistan to bring the people freedom. Both wars were stupid and cost the lives of thousand of people(americans and local). If you're thinking you're a patriot because you defend your government in whatever they do, I got bad news for you.
@CalvinSomething a World War isn't called a world war because it is between 2 countries but many countries across the globe. And a war in Iran would result in a WW3 because it wouldn't be just Iran but also Syria, Russia, Lebanon, probably China at some point, North Korea and maybe other states on one side and the NATO on the other. So, no, it wouldn't be a matter of a day or a week. Even if it would be just Iran. Iran has a much better aerial defense system than Iraq had for example. In the end the USA would overthrow the Iranian government, sure. But it wouldn't be that easy and it would be just the start of guerrilla warfare. That is, if we are just talking Iran vs the USA. If we're talking WW3 it wouldn't be just Iran as stated.
@CalvinSomething yes, the likelihood if a ww3 is pretty low, especially because it would end in a nuclear winter, people that seriously believe that have no political knowledge.

Killing someone in a foreign nation that you're not currently at war with via drone strike is not something to be normalized or excused. Reminds me of _Rogue Nation_ by Clyde Prestowitz. Well worth a read, if you haven't already.
We've been doing it forever, not gonna stop anytime soon.

@Terrence Odonnell what's your knowledge on building 7 sir?
Can y'all smell the bs in the air?
Speaking bullshit is this guys specialty
Lol he makes it sound like it would be a walk in the park. Iran’s landmass is 2.5 times the size of Texas, with 3 x the population of Texas. Iran’s topography is largely mountainous and has a very patriotic populace which would defend the homeland with the same fervour the Russians displayed against the Germans during WWII. To make matters even more difficult, Iran is geographically positioned where Russia and China will easily be able to provide all sorts of assistance and supplies to the Iranian resistance.
This guy is nothing but a fool, but he’s right about it being over in a day because the US would realize it would have no choice but to institute a draft and begin force mobilization to the degree of which hasn’t been seen since WWII; the US public simply won’t accept that. I can’t picture Tyrone in Arkansas willingly agreeing to go get killed halfway across the world for the profits of the Military Industrial Complex.
Very well said. Although there is a large population in Iran who are "against" the Iranian regime, come war time, they will fight to defend their country. Iran is not Iraq. You hit the nail on the head.
Big words for a opinionated twist on what you think would happen, how do you know the population supports the Ayatollah first off? Research your well-formed words and it overwhelmingly shows the people inside of Iran welcome American inyerventionism against their radical terrorist-sponsoring government. Muslims don't agree with murder, Christians don't agree with murder, the only ones who actually agree with the suffering of innocent people are mentally unstable teenage Americans and those who already accepted radical extremist ideologies
USA > Iran. Go cry to your trans father.
