because the americans are fucking stupid and dont understand the very obvious fact that their country has a lot of zionist pro Israel jews in control of the goverment and its economy. Obama nose this but wont admit it as he nose full well he will be assassinated by the CIA. The CIA was created by the zionist movement in america for their dirty work around the world. for example COVERT OPERATIONS, also People around the world who have caught on to what zionist jews or upto are moniterd.

@metamagicAntiEUJedi But anyway. There is still freedom in America. And local news aren't all corrupt yet. CNN, FOX, MSNBC, CBS yes. They're all a bunch of cocksucking parasites that only care about money. Be skeptical about them all. People around the world aren't that different from you or me as they want to make you believe. A war with Iran right now will be terrible for our economy. It will help ensure we have a complete idiocracy here.

@metamagicAntiEUJedi But also the big oil companies are paying the Israelis. Iran doesn't represent a threat to Israel's national security. If they just treat the palestinians right and work on a solution to that issue, all the arab countries will be fine. But they use the palestinians for terrorism operations around the world. That's what Gaza is, a tiny ghetto farm of terrorists for the Mosad and the CIA to use.

@metamagicAntiEUJedi A war with Iran will be a terrible thing for the american people. The politicians will get rich, or at least the ones that can get their hands on it. It's a big scam. It's not about Islam or womens rights. If it was, we would've attacked Saudi Arabia a long time ago since they're not really a democracy (not like a monarchy is what we promote lol). Israel is just trying to start the war so that the US joins and to secure the 4 billion $ we give them yrly

[TRYCLOPS1]

@metamagicAntiEUJedi 1. because they make a lot of money reporting the war because they get a lot more viewers. and 2. UK/US oil corporations that have tried to get unlimited access to Iran's oil for over half a century now. Politicians make money off of war because they can arrange contracts and get some good money from the beneficiaries. And in some cases like Cheney and Bush, it all belongs to them since they own those companies.
