the americans are not doing this for the reasons i'm suggesting, but i don't care why the americans are doing this, and if it blows up in america's face, that's irrelevant to me. i am not supporting these strikes because i care about american security, even if i agree that it will advance it. the destruction of iranian fascism is a necessary precondition to advance socialism in the area, and if america can be used as a blunt implement for that reason, socialists should support that. the overthrow of fascism cannot be done peacefully, as was just demonstrated in iran.

i understand that the americans just want the oil.

that is of no relevance to my calculations.
