@DrKent1977@Razdchamp@Osint613 When was the original sin committed in Iran? Is it 1979 when the Islamic Republic overthrew the brutal autocratic monarch, Shah Pahlavi? Or, was it in 1953 when the CIA and MI6 overthrew the democratically elected PM of Iran, Mohammad Mosaddegh? Maybe that wasn’t a good idea.
@Omido0oO@luxton79@Osint613 mk20 is correct. Iran has been meticulous in escalation. Only retaliatory and always pre warning. At first they responded tit for tat. No more. Just curious - if the US bombs Iran, where would you have them counter strike if not the Gulf countries that are hosting the US?
@luxton79@Osint613 I think you are right about Iran acquiring or building nukes. However, it would be suicidal for them to strike first. They are rational. They have leverage. They just need deterrence. They will need to do a test to establish that. Then what are U.S. options?
@ryangrim IF WE DON’T FLIP SENATE: Trump replaces Alito, Thomas, maybe Roberts. Sotomayor could retire for illness.
Math for Platner Haters: By 2028 THERE WILL BE FIVE TRUMP JUSTICES, maybe SIX. Without Platner, there could be SEVEN TRUMP JUSTICES. With Platner, we have a shot at THREE.
@Osint613 Your hard work is very important to me! But when you add comments, it sometimes lowers my trust. There are many angles to this awful war. we all see it differently. For me, it is genuinely heartbreaking when your posts seem to celebrate the death of people targeted by the IDF. 😢
@RyanErikKing Maybe it’s the opposite of racist. The driver isn’t black. He’s sitting on the Lincoln Memorial chair (anti-slavery). In front of the American flag. 250 years. One nation. One race. Indy car race or the human race? Racist or subversive?
@hasanthehun@hasanthehun@mehdirhasan@normfinkelstein Heritage Foundation Christian Zionists launched a plan in 10/2023 (Project Esther) to neutralize Israel blowback, especially student protests. This MSM article talks about the role of P2025 Christian Nationalists. https://t.co/u7SDFYonIU
@AriMelber FYI Achebe quote - the title of his wonderful novel “Things Fall Apart” is taken from the 1919 William Butler Yeats poem “The Second Coming” - a frightening harbinger of what lies ahead if Trump gets elected again.
