Right, and we killed his dad. Why would anyone believe he'd be more easier to deal with?


We killed his wife and child. We are such a great nation.


And he ordered the murders of thousands and thousands of his own citizens. You sure have a case of misplaced sympathy for these vile POS.

Where’s our proof to support that claim?


We are well past the point of just accepting claims because our government says so, or because our Western media outlets say so.

So where is our proof to support the claim that “thousands and thousands” were ordered to be killed? Last night, Captain Bonespurs upped the ante and increased the claim to 45,000 killed just in January, apparently.

It’s getting really old having to point out that we didn’t have a shred of documentary evidence to support the claim, for example, that Assad ordered hundreds of thousands killed in Syria with chemical weapons (again, for emphasis, zero documentary evidence has ever been presented to substantiate our claims regarding the number dead or the cause of death), while we do mental gymnastics to find new ways to refute the documented death count in Gaza.


Trump sucks and needs to go, Netanyahu sucks and needs to go, but come on. Numerous independent, credible human rights groups concur that Iran's IRGC and Basijis murdered tens of thousands of unarmed protesters in the crackdown back in February.

Get out of your flawed binary thinking. Iran sucks too. Just because we hate Trump and Netanyahu doesn't somehow magically make Iran innocent either. They all suck.

Netanyahu goals all backfired because he’s a moron


Nah. Iran's sustained a ton of damage and its dream of being a regional hegemon is over. It has survived, harmed its rivals, and created leverage for itself but it will take a decade to recover from the destruction after this ends.


They have a new $100B per year revenue stream from their tolls on the strait. That’s going to pay for a lot of new weaponry.

Mossad said it was so; ergo, it must be so. Don't you know that Americans are conditioned to accept everything Israel vomit at face value, such as Saddam's WMDs


No, you moron. Iranians said it was so. Do you read anything other than whatever your grossly biased TikTok and X feed shows you? Credible sources have been posted and then some. You’re just making yourself look extra stupid by denying Iran massacred thousands of their own citizens.

This is per the AP:

THE FACTS: A death toll that high has not been verified. (In fact, he rolled out that figure last night for the first time).
The U.S.-based group Human Rights Activists News Agency, which has been accurate in multiple rounds of demonstrations in Iran, said it confirmed the deaths of just over 7,000 people in the nationwide protests that reached their apex in January. However, it said thousands more may have been killed, though internet and communication restrictions in Iran since have made verifying the reports incredibly difficult. It put total arrests at more than 53,000.
Iran’s government, which long has played down death tolls in other unrest, offered its only toll on Jan. 21, saying 3,117 people were killed.
Trump previously said that at least 32,000 people were killed in January protests, which is at the far end of estimates offered by activists for the death toll. He offered no evidence to support those figures.


Also important to point out that several hundred police and security forces were killed by the “protesters”. More likely some of them were Mossad instigators.


Talk about “copium”… you have zero substantiation for your claims so just stop. Accept the fact that Iran murdered thousands. You don’t have to constantly deflect to “but Israel/Mossad,” especially with no evidence. Grow up.

This. Europe is turning to China as the global leader. They will get the ships moving again, using the Yuan as the primary currency. Donald has handed the US to Russia on a silver platter.


EU is a clear loser in all of this. They are facing economic losses and their failure to act in any meaningful way, whether diplomatically or otherwise does not benefit them strategically or politically.

Iran is an overall loser in this.

US is a short term military winner, but at significant cost to American taxpayers and consumers, and a political loser.

Israel is a short term strategic winner, crippling its longtime enemy, but also at great cost internally.

Russia is an overall winner, economically and politically - they are benefitting from billions in extra oil revenue, and the world is distracted from its Ukraine war.

China is suffering short term economic losses but will be an overall strategic winner.


The big losers are the US, Lebanon, Iran, KSA, UAE, Kuwait and Japan.

The EU is tied to our anchor. Bahrain is tied to the Gulf States anchor.

Israel gains short term but long term has harmed itself bigly.

Russia, Turkey, Pakistan, and Oman are the big winners.

India and China benefit long term.


Israel is the biggest loser in this. They can’t survive even a week of fighting their neighbors even with all the iron dome and protections they have. They won’t even allow the country to be or its citizens to leave. That’s how bad things are. They are also closer to regime
Change or civil war than Iran is. Their economy and infrastructure has been leveled and so has their democracy.

The second biggest loser are the Gulf States.

The third biggest loser is the US.


They've expanded their territory and undertaken ethnic cleansing with virtually no blowback, strengthened ties with Saudi Arabia, and gotten the US to attack their enemy. In the short term they've succeeded beyond their wildest dreams but the long term aftershocks will not be as beneficial.


They’ve not expanded their territory whatsoever. They are not performing well in Southern Lebanon and the chief of the IdF said they are overextended and don’t have enough people in the military to complete their objectives with expansion. Netanyahu refuses to draft ultra Orrhodox because he needs their votes to win. They have not strengthened ties with Saudi. Saudi may abandon the petrodollar for BRICS. Saudis don’t like surprises and they see that there is too much drama with the US and Israel. They will get more closer to China even if it’s a way to ruffle Iran feathers by selling their oil to China instead in order to get Chinese missiles. The US tech is overpriced and doesn’t work is what the Saudis and Gulf allies who pay for us weapons unlike Israel may realize


Lol, you've consumed too much propaganda.


Times of Israel is propaganda? The best news sources are from the Middle East: Times of Israel, Al Jazeera. American news sucks. Israeli news is somehow less pro Israel than American news.

Israel's 'nuke Gaza' minister says Mossad agents 'operating right now' in Iran amid protests
https://english.ahram.org.eg/News/560247.aspx

Israel's Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu said on Thursday that Israeli agents were operating "right now" in Iran to destabilize the regime amid widespread protests over rising living costs.

Speaking to Israel's Army Radio, Eliyahu confirmed Israel used on-the-ground agents during last year's 12-day war with Iran, adding that similar operatives remain active during the country's current crisis.

"When we struck Iran last year, we were on their territory and knew how to prepare the ground for the attack. I can assure you that our people are working there right now," Eliyahu, who called for nuking Gaza during the Israeli genocidal war on the strip, said.

Iran also has more than a 1000 lbs of enriched uranium. Now that the US and Israel started a major war, Iran will absolutely go full nuclear weapons going forward. And they are easily supplied by Russia through the Caspian Sea. Iran could have a dirty bomb and a gazillion drones within six months. Plus Iran controls Hormuz. That is a very lucrative toll booth. Iran will by flooded with money for years to come. It will also take years for the US and Israel to replenish munitions. And there aren't enough interceptors left to protect US bases in the GCC. Strategically, Iran is already the big winner in this conflict.

The amazing part is Israel knew all of this. They knew this war would be horrible for the US but wanted it anyway because that’s the point. I don’t believe for a second that Israel has America’s best interest at heart. In fact, America leaving the region entirely is probably what Israel wants so they can complete the Greater Israel project and annex more sovereign nations in peace. There’s no evidence that Israel is our friend. There never was. In fact, they committed an act of war with the UsS liberty attack in 1967 but is is conveniently never called a terror attack. Israel sees all the stats about the younger generations in America not liking Israel so why not sink America’s global footprint while you can? What better way than Iran and Trump? Two tools easy for them To use and in return they also can bankrupt the Gulf states and can bomb the Al Aqsa Mosque and frame Iran for it so they can build the third temple. There are so many tactical wins here for Israel that people are not paying any attention to because they
Work with the grand assumption that Israel is a steadfast ally.

They’re not. China, Russia, and North Korea never attacked the Us but they’re considered enemies. Israel attacked us but they are considered a friend

So we (or Israel) just destroyed a major public health institute.

The produced Iran’s vaccines.

I don’t even recognize what America has become.

The same thing it has been for decades. Look at the Korean war for example.

While I am hopeful the bolded is true, this has not been reported and verified by any outlet.


It is true. Israel has food shortages as well. Again, don’t expect the Us media to report on this. Independent journalists will. Israel is trying to hide things like a regime because they don’t want their people to rebel or freak out. The Us and Israel are both lying and undercounting the death toll


So post a credible source. Not rumors or tweets or TikToks. Post a real source to back up your claims.

Good grief. You know he's fully complicit in "Supreme Leader" Ali Khamenei’s repression and mass murder of their own citizens, right? But sure - let's salute him for his writing prowess.

It sure is funny how you discredit any news coming from Israel if it doesn't suit your narrative, but then lap it right up when it does.
