Yes. They also despise Israel.

It’s easy to think that the Middle East is chaotic because of what’s going on now but the region was at peace for over 500 years under Ottoman Rule.

Western Imperialism and Israel are the reason the region is a mess.

The British handed over Palestine to the UN. There would be no UN if Germany won. The UK might have just handed over Palestine to a local friendly Arab monarchy like Jordan

Germany was not interested in the Middle East. They wanted Lebensraum in Eastern Europe and Russia. The Gulf Monarchies would have sold them oil in the same way they have been doing to the US as hegemon. There may have been joint ventures like Saudi Aramco but there wouldn’t have been CIA coups and regime changes because there would be no Soviet threat.

Literally every problem in the Middle East stems from the Zionist colony established by the Western imperialists and the subsequent Cold War between the US and Soviet Union.

Assuming the Sykes Picot division held and pro Western monarchies in Iraq, Egypt and Iran remained in power, what reason would there be for military coups to depose Western monarchs? Without Soviet support and the threat of Israel, what would be propelling Arab nationalism in the 1950s?

The axis powers had very little interest in the Middle East prior to 1939. Hitler wanted Lebensraum in Russia and Italy was interested in Africa. There’s no reason to believe they would start wars in the region if the Gulf Monarchies were willing to sell them oil.

In this hypothetical reality, I’d imagine the Middle East would largely be run by monarchies, with deep ties to Germany and Italy.

It’s a Neyanyahu ceasefire which means the other side ceases and Israel continues to fire.

Works great in Lebanon.

The Middle East would be a lot more peaceful I can tell you that.

Oh so now ceasefires matter for Israel.

the American government really are assholes

I agree we are just micturating in the wind but US corporate media is taken with a delusional bloodlust and it’s important to respond with facts in the face of manufactured consent for bombing a country that is no threat to the US.

I don’t think anyone disputed that Russia committed a war crime against Ukraine by invading. However literally no Western country is saying the same thing about Israel and the US’s completely unprovoked attack on Iran.

Not to mention Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza which the West are doing nothing to stop even though they are obliged to act under the Genocide Convention.

Israel and the US are rogue states. International law is dead and that bodes ill for all of us.

With -100 charisma

Good. Israel and the United States are fucking rogue states that have torn up the international order. If all that’s left is the law of the jungle then Iran needs nuclear weapons as Israel is clearly able to do what it likes, including genocide and use of nuclear warheads. And Iran needs a viable deterrent to ensure that Israel will suffer massive consequences if it tried anything

Yeah real red blooded Americans want world war III

This is Western imperial propaganda to obfuscate the fundamentally anti colonial nature of Hamas and Hezbollah by labelling them as Islamic terrorists.

The real islamic extremists like Al Qaeda and ISIS were in fact sponsored by the CIA.

I’m so sick of Americans with no clue about the region coming up with Hasbara inserted talking points about Iran. As someone who.lived through the lies on Iraq’s WMDs , which was also cheered by Netanyahu, it is depressing deja vu.

Israel is the principal source of regional instability and terror and everyone and his dog knows this.

The kowtowing to Trump and his Zionist sponsors by the client states of the US Empire is an insult to objective reality.
