If you think the normalization and celebration of terrorism in Western countries since 10/7 will not result in more terrorism against Western countries then you’re an idiot. I’m going to pin this Tweet. And we’ll return to it, unfortunately.

Vance is not good at geopolitics and doesn’t know International Relations 101.
Jun 12
JD Vance:
If you go back to WW2 or every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.
Community note
World War II ended with unconditional surrenders by Germany on May 8, 1945, and Japan on September 2, 1945, rather than negotiation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconditi… archives.gov/milestone-docu… nationalww2museum.org/war/topics/end…

He’s not an idiot but his intelligence seems vastly overstated. The same people who say all the time that higher ed is bullshit seem super impressed that he was a grad student at Yale.
Don't be fooled. JD Vance isn't an idiot. He's dangerous.

Can we please hold accountable all the dumbasses who spent months asserting that Netanyahu controls Trump’s Mideast policy?

You know what’s a very distinctive aspect of Jews that isn’t ever stereotyped?
Compared to goys, Jews talk a lot more to strangers.

Totally agree. Soccer is really fun to watch and play. Baseball is neither.

Ro Khanna is worth over 230 million dollars.
It came overwhelmingly from his relatives.
His main political message is to crush the “Epstein Class,” a term he popularized during the global intifada against Jews in the West.
He simps for Iran lobby.
Ro is a complete scumbag.

What a dumbass
Elon Musk just became the world’s first trillionaire.
Let’s make sure he’s also the last.

Elon Musk is richer today—in absolute, inflation-adjusted, and relative economic-power terms—than John D. Rockefeller was at his peak and deserves to be the first trillionaire. We’re lucky to be living overlapping lives.

So literally the opposite of the Groyper thesis that Israel has some unique, massive control over Trump’s Iran policy.
When does John Mearsheimer, Tucker Carlson, Joe Kent and the Iranian Quincy Institute acknowledge they babbled debunked nonsense all year?
Gulf leaders called Trump to stop him from attacking Iran. It worked, for now. dlvr.it/TT0Tdb

Trump won’t get a good deal with Iran because he seemed too desperate to reach a deal.
The reason why he was so desperate to end the war was pressure from the Vance wing which prevented Trump from credibly threatening to escalate enough to truly frighten compliance.

I am very skeptical of the supposed Iran deal. We’re told it includes all sorts of concessions I can’t imagine Iranian leaders actually making.

Ha, just the opposite: Iran is why Gaza and Lebanon have gotten attacked.

Tucker Carlson: "Like it or not, Iran is uniquely standing up for Palestinians and the people of Lebanon... The rest of the world is watching this in horror and no one else is doing anything about it."

Mearsheimer says that as you go up the escalation ladder Iran wins against America.
This is not only an absurdly stupid thing to say given the huge military asymmetry but it’s funny coming from a “Realist” who supposedly understands power dynamics in international relations.

The U.S. will soon take over Iran’s "oil infrastructure points" and its oil and gas markets, Trump said in a Truth Social post.
Trump compared the forthcoming action to the U.S. operations in Venezuela.
There’s a big academic literature on analogical reasoning in IR.

I don’t know whether Trita should be punished but I do find it hilarious that the Iranian leader of the Quincy Institute with an official record of Iran lobbying can’t stop talking about the importance of “America First.”

Whatever you think about Tulsi as a politician and person, ODNI has functioned abysmally in Trump’s second term and been a constant source of drama and shame. I will never forget that they chose Joe Kent as the counterterror chief, a truly unbelievable decision.

Professor John Mearsheimer is not a Gaza scholar. He is not a Middle East scholar. He is not a regionalist. He is not a genocide scholar. He just poses as an expert on these topics on Groyper podcasts. He publishes no academic work on these topics. It’s a form of fraud.

You can't say Trump hasn't given the IRGC every chance and more to make a deal.
