Lukashenko now understands that Putin is going down.

@WarMonitor3 Putin's military is a Potemkin military. Or is that being unfair to Potemkin?

With respect, Masih, many of us saw this coming and warned about allying your cause with men like Trump and Netanyahu. This is devastating for the people of Iran, and now that the regime has been legitimized even further by the US, it’ll become that much harder for women like Parastoo.

The regime you’re criticizing for calling the US The Great Satan is stronger than ever before now because The Great Satan decided that was the best course of action. This was entirely predictable and with precedent (ask the women of Afghanistan).

Tracks with how authoritarians behave. A partial list of men who ran for office to make investigations or corruption or other charges go away: Putin, Netanyahu, Berlusconi (3x) and Trump (3x).

Walkinshaw: He hired his buddy, who runs a company called Greenwater Services, to make the water blue. Turns out he made the water green. It’s green and smells terrible. It’s honestly a perfect symbol of both the corruption and the incompetence of the Trump administration.

The Iran War just became America’s most unpopular war. Its net support has sunk to –32% in June, below the Vietnam War’s –31%

@AttilaTheLund @yashar A full-blown invasion of Iran would have made Vietnam look like a picnic.

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

For the people who keep saying Trump should have “finished the job” in Iran:

To “finish the job,” as you suggest, would require an invasion and occupation of Iran, involving another round of massive, overwhelming strikes — munitions the U.S. does not have — and hundreds of thousands of U.S. ground troops.

And even that would lead hundreds of thousands of men in Iran who have weapons to splinter off and cause incredible death and destruction, not only to U.S. troops but also to Iranian civilians.

Is this what you want?

And don’t tell me it wouldn’t require that.

Your judgment and analysis frankly don’t mean much to me after so many of you argued that killing Khamenei and a few others would lead the regime to topple.

Those of us with half a brain who actually know a thing or two about the regime warned you that wouldn’t happen, and we were shouted down.

"I was worried Trump would succeed in hijacking our 250th. We can now say his efforts have fallen flat. Will people pay attention to Trump’s speech Wednesday on the Mall? If they take a look, it will be because they’re curious about the Reflecting Pool."

@ClintVSmith If it's a wasted vote, I'm hoping most of it will come from those who voted for the 3-Legged Coalition.

An overwhelming 70% of America now disapproves of Trump's handling of the economy, according to new polling from American Research Group.
