I am fully agreed with you regarding the proxy attacks on people by the Russians, the Chinese, and the North Koreans, Teribus. I have again only failed to include in my statement EVERY possible contingency and ramification that you could conceivably raise as an objection...., because I simply don't have time to. ;-)

Believe me, you will always find one more thing to nitpick about, Teribus, your ego demands it, but it doesn't change my basic point, which was that the USA and Iran are equally guilty of waging war by proxy. Therefore neither of them impresses me one bit by waxing all righteous and indignant about the other one doing it, because they are simply grandstanding, bullshitting, and engaging in puffery and self-justifying propaganda when they do so.

That is a balanced viewpoint, mate.

The people you support are as spurious as the people you oppose.
