A former senior U.S. intelligence official who is an informal advisor to the Trump administration on Middle East policy told Drop Site that, based on his discussions with current officials, he assesses an 80-90% likelihood of U.S. strikes within weeks.
Iran realizes that it is facing an unprecedented threat from the U.S. if a deal that conforms with Trump’s terms is not reached, former Pentagon official Jasmine El-Gamal told Drop Site. “This is not a dress rehearsal,” she said. “This is it. This is not the negotiations of last year or the year before or the year before that. They’re backed into a corner. There’s no off ramp.”
I think countries should bomb the USA as they have ice concentration camps. And while they do so I hope that the civilian deaths are people like you
You sound like a wonderful human being
Heaven awaits
Just advocating for the same thing you are
Hoping for people to die is a bit of a key difference though
And not picking those that support ICE in your wonderful example tells us even more
Unlike you, I recognize that civilian deaths are inevitable when another country attacks another country with a shit pretext. And not only did I say the pretext to attack the US is it having ice concentration camps, it is more just than your US manufactured pretext to attack Iran). Fuck off dipshit
You should add more swearing, it really adds to how serious you are about hoping to see me die
If you think ICE is worse I believe you don’t have a clue about the situation in Iran though
If you think Iran should be bombed because they are reactionary and commit attrocities then you’re one of those useful idiots that cheer on imperialism. Lick that boot harder. The attrocities the US did inside and outside their border dwarfs anything Iran did (ICE concentration camps is not the worst the US did by a long shot)
Do you think we should give up on the Iranian people because the US committed atrocities?
Also, could you give a more graphical description of how you hope to see me die?
No but they have a right to self determination and the US should not interfere, especially when they make it obvious that there’s an ulterior motive and have been inciting violent protests.
With a prior warning of a roof knocker to disorient you before blasting you to pieces, in order for the nation state that does it to claim they’re the most moral army
