 Let's see. Yeah, Rumazah, because there's no substance and there's no actual talk about this, but Rumazah that the United States is heavily engaged in talks with the Iranian regime about suspending some of the sanctions, some of the restrictions on Iran in exchange for, please, Iranians, please, we're really asking you to stop the targeting by Iranian forces of American troops and American contractors in Syria and in Iraq, to stop the development of nuclear weapons. And in exchange, in exchange, you know, the United States, if the Iranians agree to that, please, because we're so weak, we can't defend ourselves. So the Iranians will agree to that, then we will really, you know, stop some of the sanctions and release some of the money they have and so on. I mean, this is a complete and utter sell out by the Biden administration. It's a complete sell out of American interest. It's a reflection of American weakness. It is it is a pathetic response, particularly given Iran's growing closeness to Russia and Iran's explicit support for the Russians in Ukraine. And the fact that Iran, in spite of everything they say, in spite of everything they promised, in spite of everything they've said, are clearly building facilities for the production of nuclear materials that can then be placed in bombs, the fact that they're developing or claimed to have developed hypersonic weapons, and the fact that on an ongoing basis, on a regular basis, on a weekly basis, the Iranians are trying and sometimes succeeding and killing Americans in Syria and Iraq. Now, granted, Americans are not supposed shouldn't be in Syria and Iraq. And of course, Trump promised us that we had no more troops in Syria and Iraq, but they've been there. They were there when Trump was president that they're still with Biden as president. But the fact is the Americans and I don't care where they are, you don't kill them. You kill them. They're consequences and the consequences are not we come groveling to your capital. Well, they don't they're not negotiating in the capital, they're negotiating in place like a towel in neutral grounds. We don't come groveling to you and asking you, please don't kill our people. You know, we'll be nice. We'll be nice. We'll give you money. We'll pay you. We'll pay you not to kill our people. Please don't kill our people. I mean, it's pathetic. And this is not unique to the Biden administration. It's unique to all American administrations. I just watched the show, which I highly recommend, only because it gives you a slice of history. It's not particularly well made, although it's it's it's decent. But you know, it gives you a slice of history that I think most of you don't know. I mean, really don't know. And it also will, I think, show you how blatantly pathetic US foreign policy has been forever in the Middle East and how pathetic the CIA is, how pathetic the Reagan administration was, how pathetic they were in the Middle East. And that is, I think some of you recommended this to me. That is the ghost, the ghost of Beirut, the ghost of Beirut. I found it interesting partially because the first episode at least dealt with the period in which I was very aware of what was going on in Beirut. I was in Beirut at the beginning of the show. They don't show Beirut very accurately. 1982, Beirut was completely destroyed. It was, I guess they didn't want to put the money into kind of the CGI that they would have to require to show the tall buildings with basically no outer shell, just completely demolished, half falling apart. I mean, Beirut was a wreck, was a wreck after a decade of civil war and what Israel had done. There was very little there and they didn't show that very accurately. But the rest of the show was super interesting and it's basically, it tracks the guy who basically ultimately inspired the creation of Hezbollah, a guy who was basically hired by the Iranians or teamed up with the Iranians because it wasn't like he was hired, a hired gun. He wanted this. He got money from the Iranians, the Iranians trained him. And he basically started out with the first, basically invented the modern suicide bombings, car bombs, truck bombs. This guy invented it. And Imad, and I can't pronounce his family name. Anyway, he first tried it out on an Israeli military headquarters in Cider in the south of Lebanon and killed 20-something people. Initially, it was thought to be a gas explosion, but it's clear that it was a truck bomb, one of his. Then he blew up the American Embassy in Beirut, killed, I can't tell how many people died, I think 20-something people died there as well, including a very famous, well-known CIA, senior CIA operative by the name of Ames. Then, a few months later, he blew up Imad Mugherni, I can't pronounce it. Anyway, then he blew up, he blew up the Marine Barracks, killing 244 Marines. CIA did basically almost nothing. They kind of knew where the Iranian training base was. They basically knew that Iran was funding this. They pretended not to know, because nobody in the Reagan administration wanted to go to war or wanted to do anything about Iran. They wanted to pretend it didn't exist. The Iranian problem didn't exist. They pretended Iran didn't exist. They pretended Ayatollah wasn't paying for this. They just ignored the whole thing. Imad, later on, kidnapped a whole series of Americans in Beirut, killed them, tortured them, tortured them horrifically, including the CIA, the head of the CIA Bureau in Beirut was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by Imad. The CIA tried to track him down with basically no success for years and years and years, decades, really, until he resurfaced in Iraq, killing American troops, being involved in the, again, as a gun for hire for the Iranians. He is instrumental in arming and creating the modern Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and really instituting the influence of Iran throughout the region. And in America, it could barely catch him. Ultimately, due to the initiative of one CIA operative in Iraq, she identified him. She ultimately teamed up with the Mossad, the Israeli Mossad, and they executed a mission in Syria to kill him. It's definitely worth watching the show, but part of it you'll see they had an opportunity in killing Imad to also killing Soleimani, who later Trump killed, had killed, and they didn't do it because they were afraid of pissing off the Iranians. So the general tenor of American foreign policy in the Middle East has been, don't piss off the Iranians. Find to go after Iraq, find to go to war with Iraq, find to go into Afghanistan, just don't piss off the Iranians. And of course the Iranians are behind almost a significant number of the terrorist attacks, significant number of the murders of Americans in the Middle East, a significant amount of the terrorism against America, a significant amount of the uprising against the U.S. in Iraq, the killing of many hundreds, if not thousands of American troops in Iraq. A lot of that was the Iranians, but God forbid America shouldn't touch the Iranians, shouldn't do anything with Iran. Now, in continuing with a long tradition, Trump constantly, while he withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal, which was a good thing, he constantly asked the Iranians to negotiate with him. Let's make a deal, let's make a deal. Here's what needs to be done. I mean, and this is not my most radical position, if you ask me my radical position I'll tell you about what to do with Iran. But what needs to be done with Iran right now is we know that they're building these very, very deep tunnels in the mountains near the nuclear power plant that the Russians are building for them, really deep in the mountains. And the only reason to build something really, really deep in the mountains is to protect it from bunker-busting bombs. And as a consequence, use it to refine uranium to weapons grade levels so that you can build a nuclear bomb. The United States should just not allow this. Now is the time when the tunnels have not been fully built, when they haven't done everything they need to do. Now is the time to go in there with, I don't know, 50 cruise missiles or whatever it takes and destroy whatever it is that they've already dug. Just put it underground, just destroy it. And that is very possible. They'll try again, maybe somewhere else. Every time they try within a week or so, it should be destroyed. So any attempt of the Iranians to build any kind of facility related to nuclear weapons should be unilaterally destroyed by the U.S. and or Israel, maybe bilaterally by the United States and Israel. And that's it. It should just be a regular thing. Every time they build something, we knock it down. Every time they build something, we're not, you know, that's fine. I mean, they'll get tired of it. We might get, hopefully we don't get tired of it, but there's no, no. Every time they build something, we negotiate. They build something, well we negotiate again. They violate the premise of the negotiations, we negotiate again. You know, we are, we are so weak, weak, no backbone, no assertiveness. Again, this is the regime. We talked a lot about how they treat their own women. And I really do need to get an update on that. But we did, we did a, you know, a whole show about, many shows about that. But yeah, American weakness. That is the story of American foreign policy over the last few decades. Since World War II, really. American weakness and American, I don't know, American weakness.
