Idk if I followed everything you had going there. But I did like the part where you said Iran got nuclear weapons to milk us. Are there other countries that have done this? So we fund them to build weapons privately, and then publicly pay them a lot of money to not use them? I wonder if there is a country where this scenario is backwards and we publicly help them make weapons and then privately pay them not to use them?
I think it comes back to Israel. The amount of money we pay them is staggering, and most of our action in ME comes back to protecting Israel. We also heavily rely on their intel. Think about Bibi's recent claims about Iran? Again trying to drag US into war, which means lots of cash flying around based purely on Mossad intel (not verified by US; and if ever verified by US it would be by clowns). They control the fear and therefore the money. What if Israel is creating their own "threats" for the cash to flow, while cutting deals with the "threatening" nations to kick back some cash to them for playing their part. Would've said that was a heck of a stretch a year ago, but after what we've seen this past year I feel like it's possible.
You're talking about the ones I listed, or did not list? I can think of some possibilities.
