    Worst event for us so far.

          He always looked like a nice guy. Seeing him reminds me of the Bush-Iran days of about 20 years ago.

          Total side note, I know Khamenei is dead but that dude was 86…we could’ve just waited a few years and he would’ve been taken out by Father Time, too.

                Yeah, that's a fair point and I have made that point before. But Trump's stated objective is regime change and freedom for the Iranian people, not the death of Khamenei alone; maybe the freedom of the Iranian people cannot wait.

                  This pic has been circulating. I don’t know if it’s AI or legit. Supposedly Khamenei in the rubble.

                          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.

                          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?

                                  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.
