This guy explains it fairly well although I think some of his assertions are up for interpretation. The comments are good to see some of the variety of opinions.

To muddy the waters further, there is a not insignificant number of Iranians who support Trump and believe that he can effectuate regime change.

And remember, it's not just Iran who can retaliate. Hezbollah, Hamas, all of Iran's proxies, can attack Americans throughout the middle east. And what side will Russia take? Iran has helped Russia with their invasion of Ukraine.
I am sick with worry. /End
That said, is our strategy for preventing a wider spread war in the middle east to hope that Iran is level-headed? Seriously? 5/

Israel's strikes on Iran didn't seem to be self-defense as we usually define it. And they forced Trump's hand which wasn't hard to do. 3/

In 1953, our CIA overthrew the democratically elected govt in Iran, and re-installed the shah because he would play nice on oil prices. Until he didn't. Iranians believe we could have prevented the revolution and chose not to. 2/

Mike Lindell says he's broke. Do we believe that though? I've watched enough fintok to know if you park a couple mill in an index fund, you'll make money while you sleep! On your shitty MyPillow.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process.
But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things.
That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.
OMG I forgot it slides. I don't know if we even did that! π

Israel-Iran is a bigger international crisis than any Trump faced in his first term.
And that administration had people with high level national security experience in some senior positions, while the current one does not, thatβs true.
It is objectively wild but also completely and totally expected and incredibly unsurprising that Trumpβs primary response publicly and behind the scenes to the Minnesota political violence and killing has been for days just to effusively trash talk governor Walz www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

From The Guardian:
"'You donβt have the authority to arrest US citizens asking for a judicial warrant,' Lander can be heard saying. The officials then pinned Lander to a wall and put him in handcuffs."
This is some bullshit.

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check?
Can you also ask if βSergio Gorβ is the name on his birth certificate.
Seems kinda important.
It only took us 17 minutes to get to 100% at this stop in Manchester. The car charged faster than we were ready between getting snacks and bathroom break.
