dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

No one is saying that the report made the us government do anything, just that it’s evidence of the long-held goals of the us foreign policy establishment

Edit: like yeah, think tanks like this produce reports for other countries all the time and it doesn’t mean anything because they’re just saying what they wish the country in question would do, but in this case we are actually interested in what the us ruling class wants the us to do

That is what we were arguing about. The OP said

It's neither, the US was cooking up these plans for a long time

But these aren't plans. This is not a smoking gun. This is a proposition that was made decades ago, while we already at war in the region, to extend that war into Iran. It's silly to point to this as the reason that the conflict started now, which is what the OP was doing.
