      JFC. Pretty sure that Iranian civilians are the ones who need to worry… Not to mention Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Yemenis, etc.

          The US are a democracy, which means the people is responsible for the acts of their country. Sorry guys, you need to take responsibility.

              Then, you’re expected to topple your government, as much as you expect Iranians to bring down theirs. You’re no better, expect you are on the dropping side of the bombs (and, sorry for the image, on the receiving side of Israel’s dick).

              Once you’ve done that and stop killing abroad, then you’ll have some respect from the rest of the world. For the time being, no wonder airplanes inbound the US will stay half empty.

                I think you’re confused, I’m a communist, I despise the US Empirevand condemn the war. Further, Israel doesn’t control the US, the US supports Israel because Israel is like a giant millitary base for the US to terrorize its geopolitical adversaries.

          At least 1/3rd of the US population fully deserves it, and another 1/3rd is in the gray area

      Yes, as uus presidents usually do since WW2. But don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll tell you “THATS NOT US”, and it’s just Trump and definitely not a systemic problem.

        The POTUS has the discretionary power to send troops and launch a military action without Congress approval in case of emergency alone. There wasn’t any emergency.

          The “emergency” was Netanyahoo starting the bombing of Iran, soon after someone said “Trump Always Chickens Out”, so Don bravely joined in dropping bombs at no danger to himself.

    It’s fitting because at the end of that episode, they learn that the US was in fact the alien invaders declaring war on other planets.

    A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site…NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!

    Hopefully Iran keeps to its promise to bomb every US military installation in the Middle East if the US intervened.

      Iranies are not orange pigs posing as gods. If they promised it, they will stick to it, unless something truly convenient for them all is in the horizon.

    This is what happens after a failure of a parade and being laughed at enough to leave the g7 early. This was his ego boost he needed. Oh. And oil or something.

    There are theories online that say it was a symbolic attack and that they even warned Iran where and when they would strike.

    First some technical stuff and facts:
    There is much doubt even bunker busters would do significant dammage to Iranian facilities.
    At an estimated 90 -120 meters depth they are well below the range of their capabilities (60 meters).
    And they are heavily protected by various layers and nobody knows where they are exactly.
    Only the entrance and building on the surface is visible.
    The US have only used them once against Yemen and claim they could go deeper by doing double taps.
    This has obviously never been tested.

    Now some speculation:
    The Americans knew they only had a small chance of success (despite the reported mission success propaganda) and 100% certainty of committing an act of war.
    Then why would they do it?
    Fact is the genocide state is getting hit harder and harder, as Iran announced they would.
    There is huge devastation and the situation is untenable.
    They realise they have bitten off more than they can chew and already showed signs of weakness.

    The US ‘taking out’ the imaginary threat and casus belli would solve that problem and give the genociders a way out of the war without losing face.
    As the Iranians said they would stop attacking if they did.

    For Trump it would OC be a huge media victory showing how powerful they are and how they saved the poor genociders.

    Too soon to tell what is true for now.
    We’ll have to see what the actual dammage is, if Iran strikes back and if the war ends.

    The Saudis and Israel repeating their influence on the USA. Iraq was first and Iran has been on a waiting list for a long fucking time.
