America began the illegal war of aggression against Iran, in concert with its genocide committing ally Israel with a cowardly assassination of the Iranian head of state (who happens to essentially be the Shia Pope) by bombing his home, killing numerous women and children including infants. This murderous attack was conducted without warning, without declaration and without ANY justification. This was a barbaric act.

This dastardly attack was committed during peace time, during negotiations with Iran over their nuclear weapons program, which had been subject to an agreement that the US unilaterally pulled out of years earlier and which Iran was complying with. This was the second time the US and Israel attacked Iran in the middle of negotiations.

America performed evil.

America deserves the harm that is coming to us.

Truth Hurts

Nothing to do with AIPAC.
Nothing whatsoever.

Does your obvious hatred of Jews make you believe anyone would believe your obvious lie, Caius Marcius Coriolanus?

Seriously?

To state some facts

Israel is

1. Committing genocide
2. Enacting pogroms
3. Stealing land from Lebanon and Syria
4. Starting wars of aggression
5. Continuously breaching ceasefire agreements
6. Targeting UN Peacekeepers
7. Targeting Journalists
8. Targeting EMS workers
9. Torturing Palestinians including children
10. Desecrating non-Jewish religious symbols and statues
11. Detaining thousands of innocent Palestinians-one could call them hostages
12. Using illegal weapons (white phosphorus, ----- traps)

All on our dime

---- Israel
All on our dime

But I also want to add that Iran's regime was not the epitome of goodness in the region.

Irrelevant

The US and Israel has been as bad and worse

And all of that is irrelevant to the heinous nature of our act

We deserve the harm that is coming our way

No it's irrelevant.

America had no right whatsoever to do what we did. Iran did not deserve it. Why does Iran do what it does? Cause Israel and America want to destroy their country. That is a stated goal of both Israel and America-"regime change", mowing the grass, etc. They actually live under an existential threat posed by 2 nuclear armed countries that have shown zero compunction to kill Iranians at will. We support theocracies and auto crats that are just as bad.

America is -------. Iran now controls the global oil market. This issue is not going to be resolved anytime soon and every day the damage gets deeper and the time to fix it will take longer, BUT the world has changed. Most people haven't grokked that yet. The world has changed. We now have a new power in the world-Iran. Iran controls 20% of the worlds oil 20% of the worlds fertilizer. That is permanent. There is no "exit ramp" to this because Iran holds all the cards. they don't even have to do anything. The threat is there and America has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that they cannot do anything about it.

Ask yourself this. What will happen if the straits remain closed for another six months? Can you see a global economic collapse? A depression? I can.

Now ask yourself. Do you think Iran gives 2 ----- about that?

Now ask yourself this. What is America going to do about it?

Piggy's trip to China should wake people up.

Trump was HUMILIATED.

Who met the leader of the free world at the airport? Xi? the Foreign Minister? NOPE

Some low level dignitaries, the type of reception that Belgium or Bolivia could expect. Not the US

Compare that to Piggy sitting on the red carpet to greet Putin in Alaska

HUMILIATED

Piggy flew across the globe to be HUMILIATED

NOPE the future looks bleak.

A Democratic president wouldn't allow that.
But you do you, truthhurts.

What gives you the impression I was absolving America of its responsibility for Israel's actions?

Or that I was absolving Democratic politicians of responsibility for condoning and funding Israel's actions?

Not sure what the purpose of your edit was, except maybe to obfuscate for Israel's clearly evil acts.

My opinion on what happened over the past year and a half.

Netanyahu spurns Biden's efforts at pushing for a ceasefire because he calculates that will help Piggy get elected.

Netanyahu supports Piggy getting elected.

Netanyahu either conditions his support of Piggy candidacy OR supports the ceasefire after Piggy's election and pushed by Piggy on the condition that America participates in Israel's attack in June of last year.

Netanyahu agrees to the Gaza ceasefire January through May of 2025

Israel bombs Iran and gets Piggy to drop the MoaB on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Now that the US has supported Israel in attacking Iran, Israel knows that Piggy has lost options vis a vis Iran. If Israel attacks Iran, Iran will see the US as a valid target in response-this was verbalized by Rubio. Therefore, the US has no choice but to attack Iran in conjunction with Israel.

Thus, Israel attacks Iran with the US. Because Piggy could not say no to Netanyahu.

Piggy was clearly played by Netanyahu.

Netanyahu is clearly a dictator for life in Israel, btw.

Talk about a weak leader

@#27 ... What gives you the impression I was absolving America of its responsibility for Israel's actions? ...
Good question.
Pres Trump's support of PM Netanyahu is looking like an absolute support of PM Netanyahu policies.
Given the, what I view as, the genocide of Palestinians by Israel, I have to ask Pres Trump ... WTF?

It looks like he is obfuscating for Israel by blaming America for their actions AND painting the dems with the same brush of support.

That certainly was true in the past but is likely to change moving forward

Dems will conscientiously object to Israel's actions. Republicans will object because their anti-semitic.
