    Russia is not so much “pro Iran” as it is keeping an ambiguous relationship with Israel and Iran. Russia let Israel bomb Iranian militias in Syria. Israel sold drones to Russia after Russia invaded Crimea. Israel even demanded Ukraine to just give up against Russia behind closed doors. Netanyahu praised Russia and Putin in the past months and Israel refrained from demanding sanctions on Russia since the full scale invasion 2022.

    I believe that MTGs position is coming from a sincere “MAGA” position. Why should the US let Israel dictate what it is doing and what it is not doing? Why should the US on top of it pay billions to Israel for Israel to drag the US around?

      This is one thing that bothers me. I hear people talk about Trump’s policies being isolationist, but this flies in the face of that. If youre going to do a thing, do that thing all the way, none of this picking and choosing. If you want to cut the US off from the world, just fucking commit to it. It’s not my ideal course for the country, but I just want consistency.

        The trouble is, they don’t gaf about general policy, the only policy they care about is “what makes rich people richer” and that economic policy is ill-defined and has a lot of guesswork involved, so you can’t expect coherent or consistent policies aligned with traditional politics
