neat. fuck israel. fuck ms clippy. (i think this is where he was hiding out…)
it's bad if you want to avoid all out war because the us will probably use this as justification to go all in.
As if they need justification.
Strike first, wait for respons, call it an act of terror, and there we goooo.
Just like Iraq.
They came on TV every day for a year and a half telling us about Iraq's WMD's and we were scared and confused after 9/11.
Now there was no inciting incident, we have the internet with alternative narratives to the state lies, we have a massively depressed economy from decades of wars gutting our middle class and transferring wealth from the middle class to the elite, and they are trying to speed run there propaganda about Iran in like two weeks using the same tired lies they pushed for during Iraq.
So, in their mind it's just like Iraq, but there is a reason this war only has about 16% support with 64% against. This war will break maga and will break the US before it breaks Iran. That's my guess anyways.
Oh, and Iran has almost 4 times the population as Iraq did when we invaded it, has witnessed Iraq and Lybia and have been developing and importing weapons independent of the US sphere of influence for decades while Saddam was a US puppet until he wasn't. So yeah, I don't think it'll go the same.
