Why don't podcasters and their guests ever talk about the tens of billions of dollars Qatar and Saudi Arabia are spending in our country to influence our politics and policies, our businesses and sports, brainwash our kids, and buy podcasters and their ilk?
What about the Iranian people? We promised to help them. Among other things, we should have armed them (the Reagan Doctrine). What now? Anything? The MOU is silent.
What about the Lebanese Christians, who have wanted to be rid of Hezbollah for 40-years and take back their country from Iran? The MOU ensures Hezbollah's (meaning Iran's) continuing control over that country, and existential threat to Israel.
Here are two questions no reporter has yet asked: are the policies of the brutal dictators running Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia aligned with our interests? If not, why are they never publicly questioned let alone criticized?
The Iranian people deserve to determine their own destiny - and we should do everything we can to give them the space to reclaim their country.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE
Iran may have no navy and no air force, but Iran still has the IRGC, a large army, and most of all, a regime ideology that has not been defeated (we have not armed the Iranian people to try to take it out). They are still shooting ballistic missiles and drones (and it's not clear if those weapons are part of the negotiations, although none of it will ultimately be enforceable). It appears we are protecting Hezbollah from annihilation (no, Israel is not at war with Lebanon), which is Iran's most powerful militia and has killed and maimed Americans for the last 40 years, and Hamas is rearming rather than disarming (again, Israel sought to destroy it). This does not bode well for the future, certainly after the conclusion of the Trump administration. Moreover, I don't think Communist China, our biggest threat, is impressed today (I believe it was at the outset of our military operation). If billions are directly or indirectly released to the Iranian.
@marklevinshow@marklevinshow You’re truly one of a kind. Always on point, fearless in speaking the truth, and one of the last real journalists out there. Your work is inspiring, and history will remember your voice. I’ll be telling my kids about you one day.
Dear Donald Trump, what else needs to happen for you to finish the job?
DON'T MAKE DEALS WITH TERRORISTS.
Ask Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia what happened to them tonight.
