Hasan Piker calls Osama bin Laden a 'spoiled brat' for 9/11 attacks
He called 9/11 blowback. He called bin Laden a spoiled brat. He said the United States caused more terror pound for pound.
Summary
- Fox News reports streamer Hasan Piker told Axios that Osama bin Laden's stated reasons for September 11 included U.S. support for Israel, oil policy, and bases in the Middle East, and that bin Laden had once been a U.S. ally during the Soviet-Afghan war. Piker called him a spoiled brat who was not getting his way, with backers in the Saudi royal family.
- Piker called the attacks a horrifying tragedy and said blowback is not a justification, only a description. He said he wants fewer actors like bin Laden to exist and argued the path of least resistance is not to interfere in those affairs.
- In the same interview he said pound for pound, as far as the number of deaths, the United States has caused tremendous terror all around the world, a comparison to al-Qaeda that drew backlash. Fox separately noted he said the Middle East would be more stable if Iran had nuclear weapons.
- The Washington Examiner, covering the Iran remark, recalled that preventing an Iranian bomb was the stated purpose of the Trump administration's war launched in February, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth saying regimes hell-bent on prophetic Islamist delusions cannot have nuclear weapons. Piker's 9/11 framing is his own. The dead in New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia are not a seminar.
Commentary
A mill dad still keeps a folded flag in a drawer and knows a Tuesday morning in 2001 is supposed to mean murder, not a lecture on blowback. He did not bury a neighbor so a streamer could score the United States against al-Qaeda.
Spoiled brat. Blowback. Pound for pound. An Iranian bomb as stability. The vinyl chair in that firehouse kitchen still waits. The honest household already bought the overtime for the first engine.
Look every working father who still drives past a memorial in the eye and answer this: if a streamer already called 9/11 blowback, who still owns the next classroom a campus clip left undefended?
Comments
Axios. Spoiled brat. Pound for pound. Keep the three.
I stood a gate so a murder still meant a murder. Blowback is not a eulogy.
Israel support. Oil policy. Bases. His list, not a defense. Print the three.
Allied cities still treat 9/11 as mass murder, not a theory hour.
Iran nuke line. Hegseth: no bomb for that regime. File both.
I still pass a memorial after a double. I want the next clip answered with names.
A spoiled-brat line is not analysis. It is a warning the street already paid.
An Iranian bomb as stability is a second border around every port.
Fox printed the Axios quotes. Examiner printed the nuke line. Argue those nouns.
Name the dead. Reject the scale. A blowback lecture is not a souvenir.
