This gave me a good laugh.
I think Trump is a bit of a dose but if he solved world hunger these people would cheer for hunger.

Why so?

Irish people who have likely never been within a thousand mile of Iran trying to tell actual real life Iranians that they shouldn't be joyous that their country's brutal dictators 37 year reign is over.

Venezuela is so last month. On to the next trendy outrage.

I don't see it like that. The two are not exclusive. You can disagree with how the US/ Israel got involved and certainly with the indiscriminate manner of the attacks that left a girls school in Minab blown to bits. And believe this is another sign of USreal interfering in overseas affairs. And still accept that the removal of the Supreme leader is a good thing for the country.

The guy actually explains the above views in his statements.


And who will replace the supreme leader in Iran?

The Taliban are back in control of Afghanistan, we've an al-Qaeda lad installed in Syria, we've a mess in Libya and Iraq isn't much better.
There is no Al Qaeda lad installed in Syria, the 'lad' Ahmed al-Sharaa and the provisional government are direct opponents of Al Qaeda.

just ignore his activity before 2015/16?
Though the Kremlin never misses a chance to not forget an item from the past in order to discredit a regime which is counter to its present day interests,  what applied in 2015 in Syria does not apply now to the instituted ideology and policy of the provisional government of Syria which just happens to not only be in direct opposition to the pan Islamic ideology of Al Qaeda but also the Kremlin. Not only was the vicious regime of the tyrant Assad overthrown in Syria but also the prisons were opened up and tens of thousands of the tortured and incarcerated were released and  Russian military presence, a fundamental 'underpinner' of that horrific regime, was expelled from the land.

Big Big Big deflection there... so he was or he wasn't associated with Al Qaeda pre 2015/16?

He was on the US's most wanted list right up to the point they installed him as leader of Syria FFS.

Just like the CIA training Osama Bin Laden as part of the Mujahadeen fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan.

"There's no reason why the miracle of the re-establishment of the temple on the Temple Mount is not possible," Hegseth said during a 2018 speech at the Arutz Sheva conference in Jerusalem, according to the Times of Israel.

"I don't know how it would happen. You don't know how it would happen, but I know that it could happen," he continued. "A step in that process, a step in every process, is a recognition that facts and activities on the ground truly matter."

"That's why going and visiting Judea and Samaria and understanding that sovereignty — the very sovereignty of Israeli soil, Israeli cities, locations — is a critical next step to showing the world that this is the land for Jews and the Land of Israel," he added.

In case anyone is wondering the how and the why of Hegseths appointment.

Not that I'm in favour of oppressive regimes, or people's bills going up here, but it would be satisfying if the Americans and Israeli's fail to break the Iranians.

Back to this sort of stuff again. If you don't find this funny you have a heart of stone. A white westerner in a Keffiyeh (wrong one) who thinks he knows best trying to tell Iranians to be outraged, only to be called an idiot by them.

Also notice the woman telling them to "go back to their own country and change it".
These people have no clue. I'm convinced they only heard of Iran a week ago.

The Iranians have been preparing for this for years.

Seems that way, if the footage of their missiles getting through is anything to go by. (Hard to tell which of it is AI though. I hate technology sometimes.)

Forget the exact figures but the Iranian missiles are costing in the thousands to replace whereas the Israel/US defense ones are millions each.

James Talarico has won the Dem primary in Texas and could be on his way to flipping a senate seat. Betting markets so far are putting his odds at 40%, but that could change. This could be major if he pulls it off and wins a statewide race. I read before that TX is on schedule to turn blue in 2028, so this will put that theory to the test.

Wouldn't surprise me, but the yanks have money to burn and the finances probably won't make much difference.
