Zontar got a reaction from Wanna-B-Fanboy in US Politics
Thanks. Pat Buchanan just wrote a column on this. He has been a constant critic of US policy in the middle east. Anti interventionist. Ditto Eric Margolis

Iran thing isn't about oil. It's about the desire to contain if not elimitate Iranian political influence in the region it has through Shia islam.
Unintended consequence of Iraq war was the rise of Shia influence in post war Iraq. Hezbollah ( Shia) presence and influence in South Lebanon has long been a thorn in the side of Israel. Hezbollah is primarily financed and armed by Iran.
US/Israel has long resented Syrian influence in N.Lebanon. They tacitly support Hezbollah in the south as a buffer vs Israel.
For the past 50 years the US/Israel policy has either bought off or flattenend the leading Arab nations. Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Arab N. Africa are all on board.
Syria and Iran (not Arab but influential as previously mentioned ) are the lone holdouts.
Since the Iranian revolution all US administrations have wanted Iran neutered to varying degrees. For example Obama tried to buy them off with nuclear technology. Reagan tried to kill them off by arming Iraq. Israel uses assassination of scientific and military leaders.
The real passionate Iran haters were in the Bush 2 administration some of which like Bolton have wormed their way into the Trump orbit.

Tariffs can be seen multiple ways but tax cuts are a surefire winner for bread and butter voters. Raising taxes and "green energy fees" ? not so much.

Right because voters really punished Trump over his ethics in 2016.

The Fauxcohontas thing isn't going away. She gamed the affirmative action system by checking off the native American box on applications to further her career. Which speaks to her ethics etc. It will be brought up again by Democrats never mind POTUS.
Immaterial anyway it's going to be Biden after the DNC crushes Sanders like they did last time around.

When a politician says dumb things and outright incorrect things it's going to get called out and ridiculed to varying degrees.
It's the norm we all agreed to because we all participate in it.
Either stop virtue signalling or stop participating.
Can't do both.

Also assumes readers want or care about his woke social commentary which he shoe-horns into his stories every chance he gets. Nothing worse than a sports reporter with frustrated dreams of being a "serious" journalist.
