@adamjohnsonCHI Point being - the whole war is dumb and catastrophic on every imaginable level
But I take your point on bad faith attacks from the right. I’m just not sure McFaul meant it that way
@adamjohnsonCHI I feel you. Personally it doesn’t both me bc the truth is that they ARE autocrats and that $ is will not go to the people. It’s why sanctions are stupid - the oligarchs in power park their wealth outside the country and aren’t affected by a collapsing economy.
@adamjohnsonCHI I completely agree re the war and that we should celebrate peace 💯 But it’s still objectively hilarious that will be paying $25b to open a waterway that was already open, and then on top of that pay $300b to repair damage from the bombs we dropped for no reason. It’s so dumb
@AlanEyre1 If trump can get an MOU, he’ll sell it as a win and move onto Cuba or wherever. He won’t pursue a ling term diplomatic deal with Iran unless it involves a hotel with his name or a new crypto venture
@WeTheBrandon@MalcolmNance Silver lining to this mess: it's bringing a lot of us together. Im a progressive dem but LOVE all of your analysis on Iran and probably never would have found you if it weren't for this stupid war
@BrettErickson28@AaronBlake Why do people assume that Trump is the dove amongst hawks? Recent reports confirm that he wanted to use a tactical nuke. Today on Fox he said he’s always wanted to take Kharg but that people don’t have the stomach for it. He loves bombs. He’s at least as hawkish as the neo-cons
@KyleKulinski The hit job on Al Franken was also part of a right wing plot led by Roger Stone and prominent dems fell for it. It’s Déjà vu all over again
@EdwardGLuce I don’t if he genuinely believes what he’s saying or if he’s getting some dirty rubles to say it - either way he consistently parrots Russian propaganda slop
