The Iranian Revolution was a diplomatic crime of the American left.
The Islamic Republic, like its proxy Hamas, is a client power of the American left.

Today I learned from JD Vance’s muse that Iran’s Islamic, fundamentalist regime is a manifestation of the same leftist political energies as those which animate Brooklyn leftism. Ok dude, sure, whatever

Iran's government is more hardline, its people are poorer and more isolated, the region's on fire, and the global economy feels like its about to go into shock

If you want to know why people wanted to avoid war with Iran for so long, you're finding out in real time

It's hard to internalize the fact that the administration really does believe the Iraq war was "woke" and that they would be able to easily defeat a substantially more powerful nation simply by being based chads

War must be going really bad for the US to already start setting up Israel to become the scapegoat for its failures and atrocities

One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.

Yea Palestinians in the gulf are reallyyy treated well. Its not as if we hear that we sold our land day in and day out, or called swindlers on a regular basis, or constantly treated with disdain and suspicion. Nah we definitely have a nice time there.

There is no context that makes this okay.

oh just a thought if your plan for overthrowing the Iranian government depends on the Iranian public rising up, you likely shouldn't have defunded the American government run news agency that speaks in Farsi.

Cosmically, there is something very darkly funny about spending an entire decade of American politics obsessed with repudiating the mistakes of the Iraq War, and then immediately doing it again at the first opportunity, but with even less justification, planning, strategy, or foresight.

Also, I realize that actors have trashed international law, but yes, civilian utilities are supposed to be protected under the Geneva Conventions. We’ve seen how Russia has acted in Ukraine & Israel in Gaza & Lebanon. It’s bad for everyone when war becomes a/b freezing & dehydrating civilians.

Walid Khalidi has died at the age of 100.

Before the Israeli new historians, Khalidi documented the Nakba and the intentionality of the Israeli state.

And it doesnt actually matter if theyre well educated or have experience outside the gulf. That doesnt guarantee a lack of racism and chauvinism.

It looks like the war on Iran is going about as poorly as the regime’s previous wars against Chicago, Minnesota and Los Angeles.
