"I think what will happen is even if the US is able to kill illegally Iranian leaders, the next generation of Iranians - the Iranians who did not see the American atrocities in Iran before 1979 - those Iranians will take over now as they understand American government is imperialistic ... "

A sentence written in CAPS - that's perhaps the most effective deterrence message Iran has EVER seen.

Trump’s Enormous Gamble on Regime Change in Iran A few paths to success, many to failure

Where I differ: "It seems unlikely that he will blithely accept American casualties." Trump is profoundly, consistently indifferent to the fates of his pawns.

1/9. In 2020 Iran did try to interfere with the presidential election.

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.

Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.

What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

Following a white man to war because you disliked the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the dumbest acts of self-sabotage ever.

an annoying thing about the discourse around this is gonna be that it's illegal in two separate and distinct ways - illegal under international law for the USA and israel to strike Iran, and illegal under United States law for Trump to order a strike on Iran without congressional authorization.

I don't know why the federal government has declared war on my state, but this is clearly because their attempt to conduct an invasion was thwarted. So they're now retaliating economically.
