Congrats everyone.
I don’t know man. I’m watching interviews with Iranians all over the world who are crying tears of happiness, heralding the dawn of an Iran free of a tyrannical and oppressive regime who offered no hope at all for the people other than to carry on their path of sponsoring and spreading terror and misery throughout the region. But you may be right.

Definitely on purpose. Iran gets limited returns from striking Israel due to the Iron Dome, but these countries are exposed and can't withstand an extended bombing campaign against them. Qatar and UAE have Trump leveraged with their money invested into his business/meme coins, so attacking them isn't a bad play.

The fall of the regime in itself is a good thing. The fact that once again the US has no plan to actually help with the aftermath is what is going to lead to further issues down the road - not to mention the collateral damage and ongoing loss of innocent life.

And any commentary on the ~100 young girls killed at class? Or we just conveniently disregarding that to celebrate one murder.

When Team America World Police arrive, best to lay low for a bit. Chaos is inevitabre.

I just can't with the justifications and the cheerleading. It's heartbreaking.

Yes one can certainly understand the views of that gentleman. But there are 30,000 innocent deaths at the hands of the regime in January alone that prove that “a bad government is not survivable”. This was one of the worst governments in the history of the modern world and their demise is to be celebrated.
