MTG: "Dems bad"

Republicans:

She's the Trump era politician where you can be a dumbass, not have a fucking clue what you're talking about, but "haha, funny troll, they really owned the libs!" gets you in.

She's without doubt one of the dumbest fucking politicians I've ever seen, a bit head of Liz Truss and George Galloway.

The United States slapped new sanctions Thursday on 16 people and two entities associated with Iran’s drone program as it looks to punish Tehran for last weekend’s attack on Israel.

The sanctions target executives of an engine manufacturer that supplies Iran’s Shahad-131 drones, which were used in the onslaught, as well as companies that service the engines and individuals associated with providing the drones to Iranian proxy forces throughout the Middle East.

The Treasury Department also said it was punishing five companies associated with Iran’s steel industry and three subsidiaries of an Iranian automaker.

The new sanctions, which were coordinated with European allies, are an effort to cut off supplies to Iran’s missile and drone program and to isolate the country on the global stage.

In a statement accompanying the announcement of the sanctions, President Joe Biden said the US will “not hesitate” to hold Iran accountable.

“Let it be clear to all those who enable or support Iran’s attacks: The United States is committed to Israel’s security. We are committed to the security of our personnel and partners in the region. And we will not hesitate to take all necessary action to hold you accountable,” Biden said.

🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

Ukraine over here being bombed by Iranian drones for the past year, Israel gets attacked once...I don't disagree with the sanctions but it's bullshit that these specific sanctions weren't enforced earlier or that Ukraine doesn't even have a mention in the press release.

Really feels like if Ukraine was called Israel, America would be carpet bombing Russia, Lol.

No surprise if Zelenskyy sees this and is further annoyed by the double standards.

I feel like this war is becoming a live action fallout game at this rate. With War never changing.

That's right! Tell em off! That'll show em!

I think a big part of the sanctions (which won't change much since Iran has been sanctioned for a long time) is to try to appease Israel in hope they don't start WW3. US, UK etc are putting on a big show of 'action' because they are afraid of further escalation, which they know they can't back out of if Israel starts it. Too much oil money at stake to let the Middle East sort it out among themselves.

These sanctions are only counter productive since they will push Iran further to Russia and China. They're detrimental to Ukraine as well with Iran further strengthening ties with Russia. Iran has shrugged off all prior sanctions and is plenty capable of making weapons on their own. Hence Israel has been assassinating scientists in Iran to slow them down.

The West has turned into a bunch of cowards, don't touch Russia, we need to keep our 'ally' in the ME strong no matter how stupid they act or brings us to the brink of WW3. The West has little else, they've dug a pit so deep it seems impossible to turn back. Here Israel, we jump to your defense, here's some more money, we sanction Iran for you, please don't start WW3. We need you to be our lightning rod in the ME and keep them Arabs in line.

NA and Europe continue to show a display of weakness, groveling before the feet of Netanyahu and also Putin. All to protect their own interests, trade, oil, gas. Any more hits to their economies would upset the voter base more than Ukrainians and Palestinians getting wiped out. That's the sad reality.
