Discussion on US Foreign Policy and Iran

So what do you expect people across the world to think about

Western governments when they're seeing Yemen

strangulated for a decade, and then the people in Yemen defeat the

Saudis?

Who-- Where do you think pop-popular opinion

lies? Forget the governments.

People across the world don't sympathize with the Saudis, and they don't sympathize

with the Israeli regime, and they don't sympathize with the United

States.

Whether you like it or not, that's a reality. There

is a reason for this.

It's because the United States is not behaving like a normal

country. It is destroying country after

country, and in every case, it has an excuse for this.

It, it, it cr-tries to crush Iran. It's been doing it for forty-seven

years, yet it says Iran is a bad guy.

Our,

our cemeteries are full of dead people thanks to wars imposed

on us by the United States. I survived two chemical attacks.

Who gave those chemicals to the, the, the Saddam regime?

It was the West.

Yet the West presents itself as the good guys and everyone else

as the bad guys. This works in US schools with

the school books that kids there have.

It works,

uh, for Americans who watch CNN or Fox News, it really doesn't matter,

or CNN or Sky News. But in the rest of the world, people

are seeing reality, and the reality is very different from the narrative

coming from the West.

Let me play you a clip from President Trump about, uh, Iran.

This is what he said.

I say, "You guys are freaking crazy."

They are. They speak, "We will kill, we will kill

everyone, everyone. We will kill

everyone." And I hear, like, twenty guys behind him, he's talking,

"We will kill

everyone." This is-- They don't talk that way anymore, by the way.

"We will kill everyone," and behind, I got twenty guys, "Praise be to

Allah. Praise be to Allah.

Praise be to Allah." And I say, I do, I

say, "Man, you guys, you're really, you're crazy."

What's your response, Professor Mirandi?

That's the-- That-- Those are the words of a lunatic.

First of all, who has he spoken to? What is he talking about?

Who said this? Who spoke like this? Who in Iran says that?

He's the one who's been saying time after time that

he'll take Iran back to the Stone Age,

that he'll wipe out a civilization, that he-- So who's the

one talking about killing everyone?

Is it him or the Iranians? Who's the one

that's waging the wars?

The United States encouraged Saddam Hussein to invade Iran in nineteen

eighty.

And as I said, the West gave him chemical weapons,

all sorts of support, including

these very same countries, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and so on.

They gave him hund-- a couple of hundred billion dollars to

wage a war against

Iran. They were in the-- a US camp,

just like now.

Then last year, they waged a twelve-day war,

un-unprovoked.

This year, they waged another war, which started with the slaughter of kids

in

an e- in an elementary school. And then it's the Iranians who

are going to-- who

are saying, "We'll kill, kill everyone"?

And then he has the audacity to say that the Iranians may wipe out

San Diego or Los Angeles, and then he sort of-- he seems to be

ambivalent whether it's okay to do it or not.

So the problem is not in I-Iran. This is all projection.

It is the United States.

The United States is supporting, supporting a racist and apartheid regime

in, in Palestine. The-- Trump himself says,

"To the victor goes the spoils," and then his

MAGA crowd cheer.

Is that what Christ would say?

So the people of Venezuela have to hand everything over to

Trump because he's the victor?

And do you think people in Iran are going to allow him to defeat the

country to take the spoils? It's not gonna happen.
