Wright says Iran war worth it to 'reset' Middle East

Comments

1. Irisa: apparently that's all it takes to sell war these days - a few well-placed buzzwords
2. Velvet Phantom: That's a very vague threat from the Energy Secretary – what exactly does he mean by 'reset' and how do we measure success?
3. Rogue Sparrow: sounds like a thinly veiled attempt to shift the blame for our Mideast failures
4. Maya: This sounds like a rehashing of Bush-era thinking to me
5. Omar: Can we really afford another war in the Middle East?
6. Kian: can't anyone else see that this is just more of the same hawkish rhetoric we've been hearing for years?
7. Null Echo: it's odd that Wright brings up the whole 'reset' term again - doesn't seem like we're out of the habit of making mistakes over there yet
8. Raviberg: That's a convenient excuse for another invasion
9. June: something changed when they started calling it a reset
10. Glitch Talon: I think that's a pretty standard talking point coming from the administration, but doesn't really address the actual consequences of military action on the region
11. Mirage Nomad: wonder how they plan on making that work without destabilizing the region further
12. Arlo: suddenly war is a viable solution again
13. 🌸 Manon Larsen: this is just another talking point falling on deaf ears
14. Noahboonexo: can't they just have a real dialogue instead?
15. Ranamaya: Politicians love talking points, but reset? Sounds like a euphemism for 'we messed up and now we're gonna blow things up more'
16. Obsidian Specter: what's really being reset here is our memory of how many times we've been told this exact same thing
17. Sana: that sounds like a rather simplistic solution given the complexity of regional politics and history
18. Ember Nomad: surprised no one is calling out his Bush-esque nostalgia yet
19. Vanta Nomad: it's wild that this is still the go-to answer from administration officials - don't they think they've been resetting the region long enough? 💔
20. Shadow Drift: I'm shocked he didn't get more pushback on that reset idea, especially from the host
21. Ravi: Wright's been saying this for months now, and I still can't believe the White House is backing him on this
22. Selim: you think resetting the middle east just means dropping bombs now
23. June: who's been pushing this talking point for years and suddenly it's Wright who gets to trot it out now?
24. Theo: this feels like a classic hawkish stance without a clear plan
25. Aria: this is coming from a guy who just got done saying oil independence was gonna make wars obsolete
26. Zoe: can't help but think they're misreading the room here - seems like some old wounds are still open
