Being dragged into an illegal war initiated by two known criminals (Mr. T & Mr. N) that will kill thousands without helping the Iranian people, with resources we need to defend against a new ally of the US, i.e. russia, does not really amount to "strategic autonomy", I'd say, but who am I...

And the people of Iran will be betrayed by the orange mafioso, which is not a surprise to anyone with a brain.

This illegal war isn't about "women, life, freedom" after all.

It's about hegemony, oil, and defence industry.

The betrayal of Taiwan was, I guess, long overdue according to Trump's "policy".

The betrayal of the Iranian people was foreseeable with p>0.9.

There will be more wars.

"Iran was, for a long time, part of Western sphere of influence. Now, given the fact that Israel has a nuclear arsenal & could end humanity if it's humiliated, the best solution is for Tehran to demilitarize & cede Straits of Hormuz to Tel Aviv"

Trump: I am going to talk to the new Iranian leadership within days to do a new deal

Also Trump: I'm hoping this new leadership, the one I'm going to do a deal with, is quickly overthrown by democracy protesters...

Also also Trump: ...but they're on their own.

And the people of Iran will be betrayed by the orange mafioso, which is not a surprise to anyone with a brain.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Gideon Rachman, the FT’s chief foreign affairs commentator, argues that Trump has no credible endgame in Iran and “has not understood the lessons of past wars for regime change in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

While the public may have learned from Iraq and Afghanistan, Trump has not.

You can't prosecute people or states based on vibes and social media engagement stats. If you want justice and accountability, the legal processes, groundwork, and bureaucracy required to achieve them must be understood and supported.

Israel and Saudi Arabia organized the war against Iran, Trump is loaning them the US military and paying them with US lives. It's not that hard to understand.

In order to bring democracy to Iran, let's start a war against it - without the required approval of Congress - during ongoing negotiations (about nukes, not democracy) and after the Iranian regime - which was offered a deal - was able to kill tens of thousands of protesters. 🙄

Belgisch leger entert olietanker van Russische schaduwvloot Het schip wordt naar de haven van Zeebrugge gebracht, waar het in beslag wordt genomen.

Belgium actually has a navy - who would have thought? - and it has entered a shadow fleet vessel. Keep it up, I mean keep them away. 🇪🇺💪

I hope I'm wrong if I say that more massacres by the regime are the most probable outcome. The regime relies on a minority of the people, but also on almost all guns. That's how it survived time and again.

The aerial attacks do not seem to change this status quo. But I want to be wrong.

Striking missile bases won't enable the Iranian people to take over power. So it's pretty clear that Trump is using a bullshit narrative, mostly to the benefit of Israel. None of this is about the well-being of ordinary Iranians.

Just because russia is crazily hypocritical doesn't mean Trump and Netanyahu are doing a good job.

I don't see how these air attacks will allow insurgents to take over power, other than locally. The regime, although relying on a minority of the population, has many resouces in terms of armed men and weaponry. 2/2

The majority of Iranians are moderates. Although religious, many of them are starting to dislike the regime for its excesses and crimes. What this war against Iran will likely do, is making part of those moderate people to rally around the flag. It will probably reinforce the regime/IRGC. 1/2

No one who is at all concerned with the national security of the United States can possibly support Trump. This is simply a hideous betrayal of the country and its future in exchange for a bribe.

Why Attack Iran? Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.
