Existential DREADward

The harshest thing President Trump has repeatedly said about Reza Pahlavi is that he “seems like a nice guy.”

That may be a compliment to many people, but it’s not for Trump.

When he talks about leaders he respects, he describes them as “tough” and “strong.”

1/5 Trump is the only man alive who can make you miss actual regime change operations.

He launches a massive military campaign in Iran but refuses to finish the job, planning instead to install an insider.

It's Venezuela 2.0 and a complete betrayal of the Iranian people

Trump's negotiating strategy goes something like this:

-"Give us what we want"
-"Oh, this is taking too long"
-"Okay, I'm having you killed"

Heh, @WIRED also published an article about doomscrolling. Don't drive yourself off the cliff — stay sane and try to consume news as calmly as you can. If needed, switch to a newspaper-style reading habit. You'll gain nothing from seeing […]

UK’s Starmer breaks with Trump on Iran The British PM questioned if there is a thought-through plan for the Middle East during a House of Commons statement.

Keir Starmer hit back at Donald Trump’s criticism of the U.K.’s Iran strategy today, arguing he does not believe in “regime change from the skies.”

Just pure bloodlust

Immediately need non-fully informed, ethics-dubious speculation from every medical professional in my timeline.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

Domāju ka to nevar pateikt precīzāk.

Kinda fits that such a cultureless articial citadel attracts these soulless ghouls.

Gotta pay the respects to the cult of a conman and validate the con now.

Mans favorīts ir "Pivo Kegseth"

Oi, interesants preses brīfings Pentagonā. Cita starpā Pīts Hegsets, saukts arī par Viskija Pītu jeb Kara ministrs paziņoja, ka par karu Irānā ir atbildīgs Baidens un, protams, kreisie.

Pete Hegseth really is an astounding idiot who truly does seem to believe that the way to win wars is just to war crime harder than the other guy.

Just an endless 'taking the gloves off' until your hands are reduced to bloody stumps because it turns out taking the gloves off usually doesn't help.

Programming IDEs who actually care about my productivity, could instead of shoving uninsallable AI down all my holes could instead ask my consent before applaying major UI changes. Especially, if I already have "restore classic UI" plugin. Looking at you #jetbrains

Lots of worrisome signals about what next, but the idea that the U.S. can just destabilize Iran and then wash its hands and walk away unscathed is particularly so.

Noprotu Donalds vairāk gan ieinteresēts Baltā Nama pārbūvē, bet tīri sava tēla atspulgā.

Šaubos, vai Irānā varēs tik daudz iegrūst.

Uz Gazu jau skatījās tā, kā personīgo vanity projektu.

Uz pēdējiem diviem lieku naudu, ka atmetīs ar roku un teiks, ka tas vnk nav svarīgi un viņa problēma.

Musk is, of course, joining the pro-UAE, anti-EU propaganda.

It’s ironic that he praises a dictatorship with no freedom of speech, which is under bombardment, as being better and safer than Europe

Iespējamā interešu konflikta dēļ ministrs maina akcionāra pārstāvi «Latvijas Valsts mežos» Zemkopības ministrijas valsts sekretārs Ģirts Krūmiņš, kurš pēdējos gadus bijis ministrijas kā akcionāra pārstāvis "Latvijas Valsts mežos" (LVM), no janvāra beigām no šiem pienākumiem ir atbrīvots. LT...

Par Irānu ir tā savdabīgi. Ja to darītu kompetenti ļaudis ar plānu, būtu pamats piesardzīgam optimismam. Sak, varbūt tiešām būs precedents, kā novākt asinskārus diktatorus ar minimālu iejaukšanos. Taču to dara izcili nekompetenti ļaudis, kas jau pierādījuši savas fenomenālās spējas visu salaist dēlī

It is crucial to remember that Netanyahu relies on regional chaos to stay in power.

He definitely wants Iran weakened, but a total regime change that lets Iran thrive ruins his political playbook.

He needs the enemy regime to survive just enough to keep the threat alive

Ja Tu neizej vārduli, Tu paliec par vārguli

Gluži manas domas.

One disgusting aspect of all this is Trump fundamentally doesn’t care about it at all. He barely knows where any of these places are. He likes cash in brown envelopes and being on TV as Mr Big Important Guy. He’s just willing to pull any lever he thinks might keep that stuff flowing indefinitely.

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion." The next tweet says: Today is a great day. Our military is amazing. @PeteHegseth is an absolute killer. Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. He actually gets it. God bless him.

Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position. The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.

Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could. He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran. I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran! He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.
