OK so your point seems to be that we're missing other big news?

I don't mean to be so vulgar but I just can't help myself. Iran's government can just kiss my hiney hole! Like eff them! And to my beloved sister and brother Kurds don't trust the Americans. They failed you too many times before. Love Emunah

Hooray!!!

If I were other than an adopted Kurd, I would advise Kurds to stand down. The US has betrayed the Kurds too many times to be trusted.

That's awesome!

I ran away and joined the carnival/circus at 14.

But he was running even with his Republican primary opponent, so what's the real reason he dropped out?

I have a sister like that. There's a whole contingent of Dems that say I must cut contact with her. I feel that family bonds are stronger than that. How do you handle it?

Sorry for the earlier insults. None of that is really your fault.

No. I'm tired now. I wouldn't mind talking to you another time though.

Depends on how bad the government was and how long we've been trying to replace it. We would except help in the cities. The MAGA remnants would fight in the rural areas.

I could blame terrorist groups on Israel, but it doesn't explain the Iranian revolution. The Shah Sr. that would explain it but it soon turned out to be the opposite of what the Ayatollah promised, and they killed all of the socialists, intellectuals etc. It doesn't explain Saudi/Iranian quiet war.

It might work here! I hope it works there. I just fear Trump is too stupid to carry it off.

Oh yes! About 70 countries do it, but the amounts differ. Iran is a big spender on that, like Russia, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. They spend the most.

No. And that's always the contradiction in any war and in any "win". I don't think just war theory takes that into account. Sometimes I wish someone would, to get out of MAGA land. I know where the bomb shelters are located just in case help comes. Maybe I die, but I didn't die saying "yes sir"

You can check this okay? I'm not asking you to believe me without seeing for yourself, but Iran spends about $400 million a year in online social media campaigns targeting the US to sow division and promote their 'innocence' to westerners. There will be many more grisly pictures to follow.

I don't think so. I guess I see and read all of the Iranians who are happy we're bombing, which won't last if we mess this up, but after the protests (have you seen how many were in the streets?) and the deaths, this is more welcome than not.

It won't. There was record turnout for the primaries today in all the states having them.

We don't know if that was a US, Israeli or Iranian missile. Rumor has it that it was an Iranian launch problem. I think this b/c Iran would have found bomb fragments already that tell them who it was. They would have had them on tele by now to condemn either US or Israel if that's what they found.

My greatest fear is Trump is too stupid for this and he'll mess it up. He'll pull out before the regime can be dismantled.
My greatest hope is that the Shah can come back to power until Iranians elect a new democratic leader.
The regime won't ever be the same though. That's going to be an outcome.

My eyes are clearly open. Pro-war is not my position, but this war is. I may be one of a handful, but I always speak my mind. I have enjoyed every Iranian I've ever spent time with, I went to an international school & did graduate work in Middle Eastern Studies. I support freedom loving ppl there.

Who abuses and persecutes all minority populations? Iran.
Who makes women walk around in all black or face the morality police? Iran
Who outlaws women from dancing, singing or whistling? Iran
Who issues fatwas against authors and artists? Iran
If someone is going to bomb them out of power. I'm down

Why have bases in Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi, Bahrain, Jordan and the UAE? Because we have to defend them against whom? Iran.
Who is the 2nd largest social media disinformation group? Iran
Who funds every terror group in the Middle East and North Africa? Iran.
Who is determined to develop nukes? Iran.

Either/Or is a false dichotomy.
In reality, there are many choices
Support Trump, Support bombing Iran
Support Trump, Don't support bombing Iran
Don't support Trump, Support bombing Iran
Don't support Trump, Don't support bombing Iran.

I don't support Trump and I do support bombing Iran.

False dichotomy.

Ur Ireland has never fought a war for aught but yourselves since 1922 & remained neutral during WWII while mils were being slaughtered. You slide by without ever taking any responsibility for getting all of the goods that enter your country and bitch when someone else does something to protect you.

Democratic party turnout in Texas broke records!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Absolutely does.

🤣🤣🤣

Roy Cooper sounds like some kind of huckster! Acting like an outsider. Yeah, right.
