We've gone from not having any exit strategy in 2003 ending in a 20 year conflict to having no objectives where assassination is not regime change and declaring a previous mission in June already accomplished the same objectives for a new conflict 7 months later.

The T admin is unbelievably stupid. Drones are the new missiles. Ukraine had semis loaded with drones strike deep in Russian territory. At a minimum you would need to destroy all drones and missiles.

The T admin mission statements sound like they are from 2003.

The only weapon not for sale on the market is nukes. It is gibberish to say the US is going to destroy all of Iran's missile capabilty where even if possible today then Iran can buy new ones tomorrow.

Liberal bloggers had been up in arms ... Kristol said, ... it gave him some pleasure to see their “heads explode.” Kristol was perhaps the most influential pundit in promoting the U.S. invasion of Iraq and has strongly defended the move ever since.

William "The Bloody" Krystal must be biting his tongue as a new Democrat. Biting so hard there is blood spurting out of his mouth for twenty meters. The War on Iran is chum in the water for all Neocon sharks.

Are the Never-Trumpers going to turncoat once again?

So the Houthi's are a small Iranian backed Yemen faction that has embarrassed the US many times taking and attacking ships. But sure, we are totally going to dominate Iran.

So now you gotta ask yourself what did Iran get in exchange for releasing the hostages for Raygun?

Just a reminder that the Republican party owes a debt of gratitude to the current Iranian gov.

Raygun stole the 1980 election. He illegally negotiated with Iran to delay release of Iranian hostages until after the election, thus nudging a very close election in his favor and he won.

The irony of regime change in Iran is that we did that once already in 1953, and the current gov of Iran deposed that brutal dictator.

But sure, let's expect a different result this time.

It is a sign of how utterly useless American media has become when my personal bluesky posts have more regional and geopolitical info than all of American media combined.

America First means our military is doing the bidding of Israel and Sunni Saudi Arabia.

The BS about caring about civilians is a smoke screen, yet the media just reports whatever T says.

Iranians are brown people. Trump's a racist.

Reminds me of 2001 all over again when Bush was unaware that Sadaam was Sunni but Iraq was majority Shi'i.

Guess who Iran was backing? Bush was asked about any worries about Iran given the Sunni's were overthrown. Bush didn't know there were two opposing factions.

We are not just fighting a proxy war for Israel against Iran, but Yemen Sunni control for Saudi Arabia.

So now you might be asking yourself why we aren't arming unarmed civilians in Iran?

Because imbeciles believe Muslim = terrorist.

Also, Shi'i Iran is an enemy of Sunni Saudi Arabia and has been funding and arming the Houthi faction fighting Saudi Arabia in Yemen.

It is actually worse than T pushing civilian overthrow without any guns. In real regime change we arm the rebels. We give them billions in arms. We are not arming civilians in Iranians.

It's a ruse. It's BS.

Just a reminder that cons are 2nd Amendment nutters who believe guns are required to overthrow a tyrannical gov.

Trump is pushing propaganda that the Iranian civilians take over the gov when they have no guns.

That's how stupid he knows MAGA is.

I think it is telling that one of the demands missing of Iran is to remove Hamas and support for Hamas.

A country that invaded Afghanistan and overthrew the Taliban while occupied for 20 years only to watch the Taliban immediately take over after leaving 20 years later thinks it can bring about regime change in Iran.

The War Powers Act is nonsense. Letting a President start a war that lasts 60-90 days assumes the attacked country will oblige if Congress doesn't approve. The Iraq War lasted 20 years.

Congress has to approve once conflict starts.

Americans who are deathly afraid to draw cartoons of Mohamed attack a country that inspires this kind of terrorism. Again.

We've been down this road many times. A month from now new videos of this dude will be posted daily. Is he alive, is it AI?

If I were a leader in Iran then I'd had a body double and been hiding in an underground bunker for at least a year now.

Iran is lying about what's going on. The US Government is lying. Israel is lying.

Believing anything they say is pure folly.

We live in a no truth era.

Iamblakely reminding us a study put out by Princeton years ago that US law and policy has a near zero reflection of public opinion. This blatantly obvious with the War on Iran.

Supposedly they assassinated the leader of Iran.

In the Iraq war in 2003 they gave soldiers a deck of 52 cards with leaders and terrorists to assassinate.

And they did.

Yet we were in the Middle East for 20 years.
