** 06-May-2021 World View: Completely baseless accusations
What are you talking about? Of course Shia and Sunni Muslims can
cooperate against a common enemy. Iraq is a nation of both Sunnis and
Shias, and they united to fight Iran in the Iran-Iraq war. What you
wrote doesn't even make any sense.
Pompeo is absolutely correct that Iran sometimes cooperates with
al-Qaeda to target American assets. Of course they would. I've
written articles about it in the past, and I linked to a couple
recently for you.
You said that Pompeo manufactured a lie that "Iran supports al-Qaeda!"
and you said that it was a "completely baseless accusation." Now
you're saying, well maybe it's cooperation but not an alliance. Well
of course it's cooperation but not an alliance. But that's different
than a lie and a "completely baseless accusation." Of course Iran
will support al-Qaeda when it benefits them. Why wouldn't they? They
aren't that stupid.
Once again, you don't know what your talking about. The Soviet
Empire, prior to 1991, consisted of Muslim and Christian states that
had to cooperate on all sorts of things. Today, Russia's Collective
Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) contains both Muslim and Christian
nations, and they cooperate on trade and security and other things.
So Sunni fundamentalists ally with Orthodox Russia all the time.
Alliances can be formed along all kinds of demographic fault lines,
and religion is just one. There's also skin color, ethnicity,
geography, and economic alignment. So, "Why would the Sunni
fundamentalist Taliban be allies with Orthodox Russia?" Well of
course they would, at least temporarily, if they thought that it would
benefit them. Why wouldn't they? Do you think they would say, "We
won't take your Christian money?" That's ridiculous.
But still, the answer to the question of "Why would the Sunni
fundamentalist Taliban be allies with Orthodox Russia?" is no, but for
a completely different reason than the one you gave. It's because the
Russians don't want the Americans to withdraw, because that will
destabilize the CSTO countries.

So yes, the story was bullshit, manufactured by the Democrats to
attack Trump during the campaign. Trump and Pompeo knew that it was
ridiculous, but couldn't say so directly because then the Democrats
would accuse Trump of being soft on Russia. So Pompeo said, "If it's
true, then the Russians will pay a price." This was a brilliant
answer because it embarrasses both the Democrats and the Russians.
Now that Biden is in office, the CIA is saying, oh yeah right, that
was bullshit after all. Very convenient.
You've blamed Pompeo for lies and "totally baseless accusations," and
you're wrong on all counts. The lies all come from the Democrats,
not from the Republicans. You said that you were personally betrayed
by the Republicans, and you're angered by the criminality of
the Republicans, but every one of your examples is wrong.
You mentioned something about coming from a GOP family. I'm going to
guess that your strong emotional opinions are related less to facts
and more to your disagreements within your family.
