Captain Crazy blows up the leadership from Iran and that Iranians need to take control of the leadership.. what if they can't? What if the current administration is holds up in a few places to stop an overthrow of the current government?

Robert Reich. LMAO. His opinion holds less weight than a tampon string. Originally Posted by Jacuzzme

Of course MAGA will eat it up and pretend gas isn't $4/gallon, but everyone living in reality knows he fucked up bigly.

What's your point? Are you still cheerleading for the mullahs? Do you like to sit back and allow terrorist thugs to intimidate you? Then when someone finally strikes back, instead of saying "it's about time!" you would rather fret about the possibility they will (once again) resort to atrocious & cowardly acts of terrorism? Are you setting yourself up to apologize for Iran... so you can blame whatever happens on Trump?

Maybe you should go over there and help train them, if you're so enamored of their tactics. Originally Posted by lustylad

Dear lustylad, Try not to be too obtuse and insulting. First of all I’m not “cheerleading” for anyone. I’m simply pointing out the obvious history of the region and the nature of asymmetric warfare.

I sincerely hope that the world gets out of this conflict with the minimum amount of global economic disruption and the least amount of civilian casualties and infrastructure damage.

But make no mistake, Trump is the one who without any buy-in from anyone dropped us all into the shitter. He’s going to get the credit or the blame however this turns out.

Ok, txdot. Agree with your last 2 sentences, except you should acknowledge the Iranians have been shoving the whole region into the shitter for 47 years. Whatever the outcome, Trump will get minimal credit and maximal blame.

And he’s not eligible to run for president again so pissing off donors doesn’t matter. We also have no idea how long prices will remain at Biden levels, or what they’ll do when the dust settles. The temporary pain can easily be replaced by oil dropping below where they were a month ago with cooler heads in charge across the region.

Or a cooler head in the White House. Too bad JV isn't ready

Couple days old but keep defending Iran.

“Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. ��

After signaling to the world, including President
@realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite.

Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial.

Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal.”

You are ACTUALLY accusing another country of war crimes? Of human rights abuses? Of killing its own citizens?

And your source is social media???

Didn’t I just read something you wrote bout Wiki?

Same story from surely one of your trusted sources, CNN. Does that work better for you?

It can be both, and his complete lack of an exit strategy tells me it wasn't "calculated" very carefully.

It was obviously a fuck up. So, at best, it was both.

Also, do you honestly believe trump pissing off his mega-donors doesn't matter? Lol. If he wants any chance of not being a lame duck, those donations would certainly come in handy down ballot.

But, no worries. At this point, there's nothing he can, or cannot, do to stop the ass kicking that MAGA has coming in November.

He was in bigly trouble before fucking around and finding out with Iran. Now, it's just a matter of time.

This war with Iran isn't popular with anyone, and is in direct violation of two of his biggest campaign promises.

You try to act as if the events and how the outcome came to be followed the same path. They didn’t, not even close.

Stop trying to drag this off topic. We'll just leave it at you having no sense of irony or shame.

Not off topic. This thread is about the Iranian conflict.

Unfortunately the execution of a 19 year old Iranian for protesting doesn’t get any level of outrage by you libs. But you attack ICE despite a very different set of circumstances.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

We live in the United States of America and we have Armed, masked, federal troops killing civilians while they are protesting.

In Iran the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is terrorizing their own citizens and killing protesters by the thousands because they are protesting.

Are you saying that we should be more like Iran? Or should we hold the Trump administration accountable for their actions. Because from what I can see no one has been held accountable for the deaths of US Citizens at the hands of ICE and Border Patrol.
