US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

Well to be fair if these military bases are being used to attack Iran for support or offensive operations it’s fair game that’s not lashing out,people can’t pretend to be not a party of the war just because they’re not the ones attacking but we’re only supporting those missions but Irans ability to hit those bases through allies is limited better to focus what’s in front of you not out of sight
Cht. I absolutely agree this has always been my take that any nation allowing another nation to use their territory to strike another should be seen as taking part on the strike.

Having said that if you're going to hit that host nation make sure it doesn't have the capability to strike back in a significant way that can add more woes unto you.

KSA and Jordan have that ability.

I’d argue Saudis do Jordanians not really unless they’re tagging along with Israel and America for an attack he would be lynched by his own Bedouin tribe if he flew jets with Israel 😆

Iran has not hit any Jordanian population centers or Jordanian military sites that weren’t associated with American troops Iran is being attacked by American forces from Jordanian lands were they supposed pretend as if they weren’t honestly surprised iran didn’t attack Jordanian military sites as well

Saudis all reports said they had knowledge of the attack and supported it Iran didn’t attack Saudi forces head on but again hit American intelligence and military assets there….they’re using the Houthis for payback fans pretending they had no knowledge of it like the Saudis did with Iran night
 
Do you remember when Hezbollah or was it ISIS that captured that Jordanian pilot? I saw the video of his execution.

Jordan's response was appropriate.

Isis they put him in a cage lit him on fire I couldn’t stomach to watch it but they were given targets by American forces they attempted to do that recently in Syria after that church attack epic fail they killed several civilians when they could have easily talked to Syrian authorities and brought in Jordanian special forces to track down Isis fighters I at least believe Jordan can fight better than most Arab states armies especially their special forces

Jordan's military is not big , however is better trained than most other in the region and decently equipped.
 
Americans wasted nearly 4 trillion dollars feeding and breeding ungrateful people in the third world.
The inevitable cost of a strategy!

China once did the same thing. We ended up cultivating a great many ungrateful wretches. Fortunately, we soon realized this problem.
 
The United States has provided over $3.8 trillion in cumulative foreign aid (adjusted for inflation) since the end of World War II (roughly the last 80 years). [1]

Looking forward to America no longer being a world power.

Americans wasted nearly 4 trillion dollars feeding and breeding ungrateful people in the third world.

Easy now. Some of this aid came with a lot of strings, some of it served short and long term US interests, much of it had to be spent on US weapons, keeping US workers in jobs an lowering costs of kit for US forces, large amounts went to Israel. Not quite the free ride for many in the third world.
 
China has never given aid on the scale the US has
Take a close look at the aid China provided to Vietnam during the Vietnam War, as well as the situation within China itself at that time.

During the Mao Zedong era in the last century, China provided significant foreign aid, particularly to countries in the Third World—including Pakistan and several African nations.

In the era of Deng Xiaoping, China began to shift this policy. Today, China’s approach is better described as "teaching a man to fish" rather than simply "giving a man a fish."

You cannot evaluate this solely by looking at the raw dollar amounts; you must also take into account China’s own national circumstances at the time.

A wealthy person giving you $1,000 is not the same as someone with a total net worth of only $1,000 giving you $500.

I am not debating the proportion of aid relative to wealth. China has been very generous considering it's resources. Overall total aid is nowhere near US levels. That was my point and remains a undeniable fact
