Speaking with “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker, Harris was asked which nation she considers “to be our greatest adversary.”

“I think there’s an obvious one in mind, which is Iran,” Harris replied. “Iran has American blood on their hands. This attack on Israel, 200 ballistic missiles.”

“What we need to do to ensure that Iran never achieves the ability to be a nuclear power, that is one of my highest priorities,” she added.

Whitaker followed up, asking, “If Iran is building a nuclear weapon, would you take military action?”

“I’m not going to talk about hypotheticals at this moment,” said the vice president.

So Iran building nuclear weapons was the greatest adversary and also a hypothetical. very-smart

Libs hate the very idea of bombing Iran now though.

They would've gone through the "legal" channels with unanimous approval from congress/aipac

I could swear I read about a Yemen invasion plan the Biden admin had ready to go in January if they'd won

Does anybody else hate the way the media in lib "democracy" interviews politicians? And frames "debate" on TV? It all has this fake kayfabe about it, and always feels off.

It feels good not to be a genocide supporter. Well, it doesn't feel bad, and these days that's pretty good.

Under Kamala:

  1. "We have intelligence that says Iran has WMDs"
  2. "We're forming a committee to assess action"
  3. "The committee of Iraq and Afghanistan war criminals deems that we should strongly consider action. I am taking this under consideration."
  4. "We're going to increase military presence in the area while we decide."
  5. "We're going to tactically target nuclear proliferation sites using Raytheon's new LLM designed and guided missiles."
  6. You are here

Same shit.

Harris would've had access to the same intel for the entire Biden administration as Gabbard did when she said Iran hasn't pursued a nuke since 2002. Warmongering with Iran specifically, and murdering Muslims generally, is the shared value of all American politics. Obama solidified it as bipartisan.

In an alternate timeline where KKKamala is currently head of the regime, all the libs who now claim to be disgusted by "Trump's uNcOnStItUtIoNaL war on Iran" would be cheering and accusing each one of us of antisemitism and being terrorist supporters.
