Both Iran and Hamas have been geopolitical issues for a long time. And it’s worth remembering that all of this was kicked off by a large scale terrorist attack perpetrated by Hamas.
Propaganda is deeply effective because most people's world events attention span is like a dog that sees a squirrel. History starts at the chosen squirrel event, and of course, geopolitics is viewed as "Us the good guys" vs. "those who fail to obey us".
Your rant was praised as balanced, but is simply the official justification for colonial apartheid turned genocide our rulers, in submission to our own colonial masters, dictate upon us.
Does free speech or democracy exist if the oligarchs/states that buy your politicians/rulers force you to support those states? What would Idi Amin do (perhaps most self enriching open corrupt ruler, or the narrative that gets pinned on a ruler who shifts away from US empire)? Or as in history, UK first decided it was illegal to oppose Idi Amin (support his rivals) to later being illegal to support Idi Amin?
"To know who rules over you, notice who you are not allowed to criticize"
IIUC, it is only Palestine support that is illegal. You may still advocate for UK/NATO war on Israel or at least elimination of support, and elimination of politicians who support Israel. Limiting speech to support for all wars your rulers prefer is the most oppressive of democratic speech.
and when I see this "AY", what language, dialect, or slang should I be programmed in?
OP doesn't know purchase cost. Wallet deposit on that date doesn't mean it was purchased 1 hour before.
Some countries are caving to US on war. Some on trade. VN was threatened with 46% tariffs. The 40% transhipment rate is something easily avoided. I doubt VN will import more from US. VN making a deal can still provide best value apparel to US
It would be delusional for any US car company to invest in dealership/repair network for Vietnam. China is next door to them, and they have good trade relations with them. Better value cars, and they also make high end SUVs.
I don't get it.

The $3.4T deficit increase projection, $340B/year is on top of the $1.9T projected deficit for 2025 prior to bill. The projected deficit for FY2035 is $2.7T. This is before golden dome, and other warmongering/Israel funding. 2025 and 2035 numbers are both about 6.1% of GDP.
GOP talking points have include the fantasy of growing at 3% (instead of 1.9%) annually to pay for the $340B/year increase, but at 6.1% deficit/GDP ratio, total debt increases as long as nominal GDP doesn't grow above 6.1%. Cutting healthcare, and population through deportations won't cause growth.
Military applications for ward of the state and "universal soldier" applications! Yay humanity.
