Sure, let’s allow the “Death to America” guys to have nukes…
Former MSNBC host Joy Reid appeared on The Breakfast Club this week to discuss, among other things, President Trump’s recent strikes in Iran.
The Trump Administration destroyed Iran’s nuclear facilities — but Reid says that may have been the wrong move.
“The reason you won’t see nuclear war in our lifetime is that everyone who would deem to threaten global annihilation has nukes — mutually assured destruction,” Reid said. “And I think what would, in a weird way, make the Middle East — you know how they say the most polite society in the country is Texas because everybody’s packing?”
“You know, maybe the Middle East would be calmer if there weren’t just — I mean, I spoke yesterday to a Navy veteran who used to fly those bombers that they used to drop the 30,000 lb bombs. And he was telling me, he said, don’t get it twisted,” she continued. “This war is not about a real threat that Iran posed to anyone. They don’t have nukes and they didn’t have nukes and they weren’t making nukes. This is about a geopolitical push, the same way it was when we went after [former Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad] Mosaddegh. To make — we would rather have an Iran with a dictator who’s a puppet than a free Iran who could defy us and take the oil we feel entitled to.”
Reid says the latest military campaign against Iran is all about Israeli dominance.
“In this case, Israel wants to be the hegemon of the region. They want to be the United States, the big boy in the block and have no competitors. And their biggest two potential competitors are Saudi Arabia and Iran,” she said. “And so the idea here is to make them the unquestioned superpower in the region. That’s what this is about. It is not about Iran imminently having nukes because apparently their two-week nuclear window has been lasting since 1996.”
