Syria is the clear example of this. The U.S. got what it wanted with Julani who has become a favored White House guest for Trump. But Israel is not embracing the new Syrian government at all, it has been bombing the shit out of them and making territorial claims since Julani took power.

Gallego has been pretty clear eyed thus far, and this is among the best statements from any Dem. It recognizes that even if the U.S. aims for regime change to a western-friendly government, that is NOT the goal of Saudi and Israel. They want a failed state that they can pick the bones of.

If Trump wants to drop bombs on elementary schools, he needs to fill out the paperwork first

It is worth considering something that Jeremy Scahill pointe out today, which is that Israel never wanted these negotiations to take place at all and has every incentive to say that they were fake all along.

For thousands of American families whose loved ones were killed, maimed, or taken hostage during Ali Khamenei’s disastrous 36-year reign in Iran, today carries a measure of justice done. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Also if we can't stop the unilateral action of the president, all we can do is spread awareness about it and convince the public to turn against it. Dems going on TV and saying "this rocks but he should have written us a letter" is doing the opposite.

I mean this completely sincerely: what message could a voter possibly take away from this other than "Trump achieved the objective that even Democrats want." If that's the message, why would anyone care about process? Presumably the process is to stop bad things, not good ones.

What is important here is not the Iranian schoolgirls who are being blown up, but US servicemen being "put in danger."

The logic of Israeli decapitation strikes rely on a racist assumption that Arabs state are full of brainwashed cult followers who will fall apart when their leader is killed.

I mean we are launching this war in collaboration with a state that is literally committing genocide. I really don't need to hear your perfunctory denouncements of the Iranian regime.

You really do not have to say "the government sucks but..." because that has nothing to do with anything. U.S. intervention has precisely zero to do with how good or bad any government is or isn't.

The fact that this is even a conversation is a function of being captured by US propaganda. This doesn’t even come to mind for anyone when thinking about, say, Saudi Arabia.

Schumer and Jeffries are not being "weak," they just have nothing else. What else can you say, other than process critiques, when you support this war but only 10% of Democratic voters do?

If you wanted to conduct a regime change operation that installed a pro-western government in Iran, this is 180 degrees the opposite of how you would do it. But that is not Israel's goal. Israel wants Iran as a failed state like Libya and Syria.

1) Khamanei has a truly massively loyal base in Iran, with many treating him as a religious figure

2) The critique of Khamanei within Iranian leadership has consistently been that he is too measured and restrained

This is true but also China refuses to serve as a military counterweight in any way. The U.S. doesn't need to consider the reaction of the world's other great superpower because China has made clear it will let the U.S. and Israel do whatever they want in the Middle East, including to Iran.

This is one of the videos the NYT has verified and links to in their reporting.

NYT: "Video verified by [NYT] showed ... rescuers digging through the rubble with building cranes and shovels, and piles of bloodied, dusty backpacks."
