According to Ted Cruz Iran wants to kill Americans. But he hasn't told us why. Maybe he would say "its because Iran is muslim and muslims hate non muslims" Except why doesn't Iran want to kill all Chinese?
Maybe Ted Cruz could say "Iran hates Christians" well then why is Iran friendly with Russia which is more Christian than America? Russia is 73% Christian (71% Orthodox) and America is 63% Christian a big chunk of which are liberals or don't follow any strict Christian tradition.
Why doesn't Iran chant "death to China" or "death to Russia? Instead they have a working relationship with these 2 countries. And this is despite China's immense persecution against the muslim Uyghur population
Why won't Ted Cruz answer these questions?
Also what is "Americans"? Does Iran want to kill Iranian Americans? or does "Americans" only mean White people? Ted Cruz statement implies that "Americans" mean "Whites" Yet Ted Cruz doesn't support White nationalists and insults them.
Because we supported the Shah of Iran decades ago and they had to overthrow the Shah to gain power (after allying with the communist Iranians, then backstabbing them in a purge after the Shah had been toppled).
The Shah fled to America and asked for asylum and we granted it.
The revolutionaries then took Americans with diplomatic immunity hostage to try to force us to hand over the Shah.
We have been enemies ever since.
