Amusingly what you described translates to USA actions if you are from a country in the middle east. For example did you know that there are at least 5M emigrants of Afghanistan in Iran?

Not arguing about other nations actions, just a reminder that if you apply many western logic indiscriminately, the resulting bad actors are very different.

And you'd be right.

9/11 did not come out of a vaccumm

Unfortunately, everyday Americans' security is deeply impacted by the clowns with office desks in DC, since the 1990s.

It's not lost on me that I may lose living relatives living in the US because of Kissinger playing RISK for a living, back in the day.

Just as the clowns in government made horrible decisions and should potentially be legally in jeopardy for them, I can also say they are getting the venezuela one, right (at least for now).

I think there were that many immigrants. I don’t believe they are so many living there now. Iran demonstrated pretty conclusively that mass repatriation is completely possible if you have a government that actually wishes to do so.
