“I feel like this is wrong, but I don’t know enough about stars The Middle East to disprove it”

Including the US in the Middle East Friendship Chart is an admission of the US as a global imperialist empire.
…this chart has Iraq and the US as FRIENDS? I know enough about that to know this chart is mainly wrong
It’s just so reductive and silly!
Pretty sure this chart is pretty old, so presumably this was while Iraq was still directly occupied (i know that never really ended, but you get the point) and their government was literally just a translation service for the State Department and Department of War.
Oh yeah, that country that decimated iraq’s infrastructure for a decade and caused untold human suffering and refuses to abandon its military occupation despite a formal government request? Best of allies.

The relationship between the United States & itself is complicated, not necessarily friendly.
I’m thinking of it’s self-serving behavior in a middle east context.
AKA the John Kirby cheat sheet.
not filling in the diagonal is cowardice.
Friendship with Isis ended
Now Iraq is best friend
I say it every time something like this happens. Stop giving graphs to liberals. They must be constrained to writing only. No visual aids, no graphs, no figures, no charts, no diagrams. I would even go as far to put them on notice for outlines, lists, and rundowns.

Isn’t it weird that the only non middle east entity on this chart is the US?
They put their countries around our military bases
It’s a weird mixture of surprisingly knowledgeable and laughably bad
Like It’s accurate that Iran Hamas aren’t friends
But ISIS is Israel + US backed/controlled, and Palestinian Authority and Israel are definitely not enemies
They lump “We get off on stoking hostility toward them, but we have a discreet involvement in their existence” as “Enemies”.
The new Connect Four looks really complicated and I don’t want to play anymore.
Who knows what hezbollah thinks about hamas. Surely they hate israel for entirely separate reasons
This is peak liberal vibes-based geopolitical theory
Just found it’s from 2014…

…don’t know if that makes it worse or not.
So many layers of braindead, I feel dumber the longer I look at it.
