Trump once claimed that Biden would start WW3. There really is a tweet, an irony, and a hypocrisy to everything Trump says and does. | ||

Sure puts to lie on why they've been dragging their heels on Ukraine though. Will no-one think about all the people dying? Trump (peace be upon him) sure isn't concerned. But, hey. Let's go for full regime change in Iran as the next step. That's what everyone was voting for, right? 5D Chess. Trust the plan. Have faith and believe. | ||

I view the IRGC’s public execution as a net positive for peace. I think our disagreement here ultimately stems from what we expect to follow. I think this is a rare moment where Trump and his team giving absolutely zero shits about international optics or standard procedure is a very good thing. I know the whole “you break it, you buy it” thing is supposed to describe a morally responsible thing to do after creating a massive power void in a country. History has shown us many nations are truly better off without their former adversary. Iran is better off trying to find its own way through this giant shift. The US saying “look, I only gave a shit about you because the whole nuke thing. If you don’t have nukes, I’m better off dealing with whatever bullshit you try to pull without me around rather than with me around. See ya later!” is better for everyone involved. | ||

The lesson learned from this is to never cooperate with an international agency ever again, all you will gain is giving the great enemy coordinates to take out your program whenever they feel like it. | ||

The people aren't just going to forget grand humiliations and the violations of their sovereignty like this. There are going to be consequences for this and there is no reason to believe that we're going to get the egypt outcome from this, where at least the people are ruled like medieval peasants once again. The lesson learned from this is to never cooperate with an international agency ever again, all you will gain is giving the great enemy coordinates to take out your program whenever they feel like it. I don’t think Khameini has reason to keep fighting the US. It looks like they launched a giant retaliation targeted only as Israel so far. And I think if Khameini tried to do something big against the US, his military wouldn’t obey Edit: previously I said Khameini realized genuine sovereignty could only be achieved with nuclear weapons. Now that he took his shot, the possibility is literally 0% rather than a long shot. All the facilities will never be rebuilt. | ||

I am not informed enough to have an opinion on this complex issue. But after 20+ years of Iran's shenanigan, I am just grateful we finally have a strong Commander in Chief.

Don't need Twitter to be reminded that's what our president is doing.
