      I wonder if the liberal outlets are circulating his high school graduation picture.

        it's long overdue given the last 50 years of this dreadful Iranian regime conducting its war against westernised infidels.

        It's interesting to think how long he's been in power. I think Iran has had 4 leaders in 100+ years. I don't know of another country with that track record.

        Like the Steelers, only more successful.

        Pittsburgh has 6 World Championships and the most wins in the league since the 70’s… How many wins has Iran had since the 70s?

            The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

              I'm disappointed in 89th's post as well. I don't think the Steelers deserve that much hate.

                That's officially over the threshold of US casualties that most of the opposition are willing to allow, including on the right. Glenn Greenwald and Tucker among them.

                My biggest issue with those sorts of arguments is how unaligned they are with people who actually join the military. Imagine joining the army under the moral condition that no foreign entanglement will be worth it if a single member of the armed forces loses their life over it. Nobody joins with that assumption, and I just bet that most people who join aren't exactly dreading the prospect of seeing some dangerous action. It's so cheap to impose the attitudes of the mothers of the armed forces members onto the whole culture. And you know those guys aren't actually opposed to the wars on that basis. It's just rhetorically convenient.

                  Iran’s strategy seems to be to attack the gulf states indiscriminately hoping they’ll pressure the United States to stop its attack.

                  If so it seems to be having the opposite effect.

                        The above questions make me happy Israel is closely involved. I trust them to be more focused on this in the medium and long term than Trump and his appointees.

                            The paranoia Dugin exhibits is rooted in Russia’s chronic inferiority complex. Expect more aggression from the Kremlin.

                              Seems likely that whatever rushes in to fill the vacuum will be at least a little better than what was there. Obviously the new leaders will be living under a credible death threat from Israel and the USA, which I guess will motivate them to some extent.

                                And presumably you trust them to be more focused than the next Dem administration.

                                  Yes, because while the next democratic administration will likely have a longer attention span, at the end of the day Israel will always have a lot more skin in the game. They can’t afford to cut bait if things get messy.
