betraying the jewish people and breaking the alliance with our best ally in favor of allying with a backwards ass muslim dictator..
yeah brilliant idea. some even say it would be the best thing to ever happen.
im sure all muslims will just forget all of our conflicts, that we've been blowing shit up over there for decades, that we overthrew Iran's leader in 53, all of the other conflicts with iran, etc etc
we should totally sell our more liberal and westernized allies down the river in order to try to persuade terrorists to like us more. im sure that will work out well.
Aside from the complete moral bankruptcy, practical impossibility, and complete betrayal of liberal values, theres another big hitch in the plan.
ISIS and Iran hate each other.
cozying up to Iran would not persuade radical Islamic terrorists.
Iran right now is literally threatening to treat the US like ISIS and threatening our military bases.
Its one thing to think we are too close with israel or that we should be involved less in the middle east.
its another entirely to say we should actively break our alliance with Israel to ally with freaking Iran of all countries and that this would be the best thing to ever happen to us.
I don't even know where to start with this post.
I enlarged the most huh? points.
You're worried about moral bankruptcy and betrayal of liberal values, yet prefer Israel over Iran as an ally despite Iran being overwhelmingly more in line with liberal, western values than the terrorist juggernaut Israel.
