Remember this Lindsey Graham?

They changed the goal from nukes to terrorism.

Mega-donor Adelson, with access and influence, scores two pro- Israel victories The relocation of the U.S. embassy in Israel and the withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal were victories for Sheldon Adelson, the casino mogul who is passionate about Israel. He's also a megadonor to...

Did everyone forget who paid Trump to withdraw from the Iran Deal? 🇮🇷

Mark Warner: "I saw no intelligence that Iran was on the verge of launching any kind of preemptive strike against the United States. None."

Would you be surprised to hear that none of the leading American political reporters are talking about this? They are acting like this never happened. Because it reveals the state of mind of our Commander in Chief. And that’s a taboo subject in America.

Holy shit! 😂

Tall Blondes are popular everywhere. 😇

Disenfranchising their own is the real goal for UK conservatives.

Aug. 19, 1953: U.S. and Britain Topple Democratically Elected Government of Iran Democratically elected Iranian Premier Mohammad Mossadegh was removed from power in a coup.

The right side of history?

"In 1953, the CIA and British intelligence orchestrated a coup d’etat that toppled the democratically elected government of Iran.
In 1951 Prime Minister Mossadegh roused Britain’s ire when he nationalized the oil industry."

Certainly a fun way to raise the price of crappy Venezuelan crude as well! Never mind Louisiana/Texas LNG.

It still is a beautiful world, but billionaires smear it with shit.

If we consider that the criminals in the US/Israel have partnered with the criminals in Iran and Russia;

These attacks look like performance art.

Israel is a majority Ukrainian expat nation. It's not even close.

Iran and Russia are good friends.

The President is good friends with Russia.

Iranian extremists are aligned with them both.

Their regime will change, but you wont like their new actors.

They'll be like Trump, only more cunning.

The opposition in both countries was led to make deals with the Trump regime. They're sacrificing their own in service to a wink and a promise from fascists.

Canada recognizes this as "The Freedom Convoy."

This is your "Dutch Farmers Protest."

This is a global "Unite the Right" rally.

Why are these people allowed to publish this shit in national newspapers?

This is the equivalent of "it's so cold outside, what does that mean for Global Warming?"

MAGA will never admit they got conned; but Trump targeted and exploited them most of all.

TODAY: We posted about MAGA Republican state Rep. Susan Lynn posting that her son just got called up and deployed after Trump & Bibi started this war with Iran.

FLASHBACK — 2020: Susan posted thanking Trump for “not plunging my son and daughter-in-law into another war” 👇🏽

Americans are really deplorable.

NBC: “Are you committing your missiles won’t have the capability to reach 🇺🇸?”

Iranian FM: “Yes.”

NBC: “Then why are you bombing our bases?”

Iranian FM: “Because they’re attacking us.”

"Clod."

Why am I not surprised?

Really concerned to hear the Defence Secretary refuse to rule out UK's involvement in future strikes on Iran.

Iraq lessons must be learned.
Further escalation in the Middle East makes us all less safe.

Starmer must rule out UK involvement immediately.

In 1973, a veto-proof majority of Congress took the position that POTUS’s constitutional powers to use military force are limited to:

1) declaration of war

2) specific statutory authorization

3) national emergency triggered by attack on U.S., its territories or possessions, or armed forces. 1/n

It's already closer to 2 trillion than 1 trillion... and we used to laugh and say how unsustainable the whole thing was when it was just 500B.

Canada's military budget isnt even 50B yet. 😂

Israel bombed a school for this very response. They've been goading Iran for years. Now, the regime is forced to retaliate. Their citizens will expect nothing less than scorched earth.

Especially, since they killed the only moderating leader in the nation.

The rest are going to compete.
