How did you survive the brutal authoritarianism of the Sheinbaum regime?

Do we really have to “both sides” everything when talking about former and present socialist states? “Sure, Jakarta was fucked up, but did you know that the USSR was no angel?”

They do, that’s why they will never try to emulate him.

“I’m comfortable which means the US can’t be that bad”

Similar reasoning for why suburbanites generally don’t care about police violence.

“Sure the US can be bad, but Russia/Iran/Syria/China is no angel”

Maybe she believes, like Obama does, that decade after decade of the US acting like a mafia with a trillion dollar army and using any and all means to pursue world domination is fine because it’s better us doing it than them.

The US is a far-right oligarchy, especially when it regards foreign policy.

Haven’t 20 months of genocide and the nature of the attacks on Iran solidified too much support for the Iranian “regime” at this point? Their plan is to bog down Iran in a never-ending insurgency and civil war.

Is Trump expecting the market to go up when he attacks Iran?

Iran was negotiating when the US/Israel assassinated their top generals and scientists, including a negotiator. What chance is there of further negotiations any time soon?

Sink some aircraft carriers

I guess he really is just in that position to “trigger the libs”?

What? No endless speculation about how it was probably a misfired Israeli rocket?

On one hand: They are lining everything up to strike, and after this war Iran will likely pursue nukes and they won’t get another chance to do something like this

On the other: It would be incredibly stupid and disastrous, and nothing ever happens.

On one hand: Israel probably has a bunch of dirt on Trump from his time with Epstein and they are pushing for a strike.

On the other: Trump once talked a bunch of shit about attacking North Korea before flipping and de-escalating.

Anyone remember or have heard of Project for a New American Century?

Here’s what wesley clark said about it back in the 2000’s:

Six weeks later, I saw the same officer, and asked: “Why haven’t we attacked Iraq? Are we still going to attack Iraq?”

He said: "Sir, it’s worse than that. He said - he pulled up a piece of paper off his desk - he said: “I just got this memo from the Secretary of Defense’s office. It says we’re going to attack and destroy the governments in 7 countries in five years - we’re going to start with Iraq, and then we’re going to move to Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran.”

Iraq being a clusterfuck delayed those plans, but It looks like we finally worked our way up to Iran.

One of the most expensive fireworks I’ve ever seen.

I’m pretty confident Trump is going to attack. You don’t build up forces to bluff. I think the ambivalence is about preventing Iran from taking action until we get the first hit.

Vaccines are woke! Sobriety is woke! Fiber is woke!

Real MEN are DRUNK, DISEASED, and DON’T SHIT RIGHT.

Do it, coward!
