| | ::::::It's obvious to me that Fuentes views foreign relations from a purely ideological standpoint. And that he either has little to no understanding of geopolitics, or refuses to acknowledge geopolitical realities because they don't conform to his ideology. The truth is, we've always prioritized the interests of Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies above Israel's. This was especially apparent prior to the Gulf War. Many people, both then and now, have marked the Gulf War as the point when our foreign policy became "Israel first." But that's not true. We didn't get involved in that war to defend Israel. We got involved in that war to defend Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies. The reason it may have ''looked like'' we were getting involved in that war to defend Israel was because that war was the point where Israel and Saudi Arabia's interests began to converge. And those interests appear to be more converged now than ever before. That being said, it has always been Saudi Arabia that has held our strings. After all, they have leverage over our economy through the petrodollar. What does Israel have? Of course the Groypers have an answer to ''that'' one: "Dual citizens." Like, give me a break.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 23:18, January 4, 2022 (EST) | | ::::::It's obvious to me that Fuentes views foreign relations from a purely ideological standpoint.

I personally believe Saudi Arabia and Pakistan orchestrated the attacks, and that our government intentionally allowed them to happen.

| | + | :::::::Israel holds tremendous sway over geopolitics. Follow the money. I don't like to admit it, but well-funded Zionist organizations routinely lobby the American government to warmonger and occupy the Middle East in order to protect Israeli interests. I don't think the United States would have bombed Syria if it wasn't for Israel demonizing Assad. And have you ever heard a neocon talk about bombing Iran without mentioning Israel? Saudi oil is a major part of it, but it's not the only thing. "What does Israel have?" Congress, the Senate, the media, and the banks. Also the Anti-Defamation League. As for 9/11, Nick doesn't hold Muslims responsible. ---[[User:BernieandTrumpFan|BernieandTrumpFan]] ([[User talk:BernieandTrumpFan|talk]]) 01:51, January 5, 2022 (EST) |
