In this NewsBusters article, Alex Christy criticizes Jon Stewart and New York Times columnist David Wallace-Wells for suggesting that U.S. actions toward Iran may reflect America “aligning with the Axis powers.”
- Christy focuses on a June 3 episode of Comedy Central’s The Weekly Show, where Stewart framed recent global conflicts as a potential reshuffling of “Allied” and “Axis” powers.
- Stewart connected Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russia’s earlier occupation of Crimea, and the Iran war into a broader question about whether America is now choosing the wrong side.
- Christy argues that Stewart’s framing is detached from reality because Iran has aided Russia in its war against Ukraine, while Russia has provided support to Iran.
- The article says Stewart’s question was especially absurd because Ukraine has reportedly helped Gulf states defend against Iranian drones, complicating any simplistic “America as Axis” narrative.
- Wallace-Wells appeared sympathetic to Stewart’s concern, invoking the “Are we the baddies?” comedy sketch while still acknowledging that Iran’s regime has been brutal for decades.
- Wallace-Wells argued that Iran’s bad behavior does not necessarily justify regular military action, especially if the nuclear threat is, in his view, “essentially non-existent.”
- He also claimed the conflict had humiliated the American military and elevated Iran’s status, a conclusion Christy sharply rejects.
- Christy counters that the U.S. military accomplished what political leaders asked it to do, warning that America’s enemies should not mistake Wallace-Wells’s analysis for reality.
