    Actually that’s pretty much what we thought, but it’s good to get a second opinion from someone on the inside.

    I was under the impression that he declared war on brown people with no fucking plan whatsoever because he’s racist, under the false impression that being at war means he can stay in office no matter what (despite his entire life being filled with counterexamples), and him trying to distract from his close ties with and probable crimes as a child rapist.

    I actually don’t know how it could be worse

    “You are right to be worried, the Trump administration has no plan in Iran,” Warren said

    Ah, so it’s much better than I thought on one side.
    Question is, how much of a plan does Iran have?

        I mean, how many empires have passed through Persia, through that area? How many conflicts has that civilization endured? I’m not trying to hype myself up but, like, Iranians are fighting in home turf with thousands of years of military knowledge of their own terrain, against a hegemon that’s mobilized from half way across the globe. They must have something up their sleevse

          The hubris of the burger reich is truly astounding. They really think they can just waltz in and destroy a whole civilization that’s thousands of years old.

          I think the nastier stuff won’t happen until Iran is in a really bad situation. Maybe they could fire an advanced missile and strike Israel’s Dimona nuclear facility or carry out drone attacks inside the US. It’s easy to sneak drones around and assemble them, so I think we can expect attacks far away from the battlefield.

          One thing I’ll disagree with is this idea that sleeper cells will appear from no-where and massacre people at bars and nightclubs. It doesn’t seem like it’s Iran’s style - they’d rather hit a military base with a drone.

          Remember that while Iran’s command structure is ruined, they can still command operations globally through their intelligence officers.

  • Things are looking up… for Iran.

    I am not asking for much, I just want the US to lose to Iran even more decisively and quickly than it lost to Afghanistan, and for Tel Aviv to look like Rafah today.

    Sen. Angus King, the independent from Maine, said it’s “very disturbing” that Trump took the U.S. to war because Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to bomb Iran. Past U.S. presidents, he said, “have consistently said, ‘No.’”

    "Busy droning children, maybe later.”

    Obama, probably

      The problem is the President shouldn’t be ABLE to say yes or no. It’s not their call.

    “Wow, are you going to give further details?”

    “Then we might have to actually do something, so… no. But hey, elections are coming up! Maybe we can form a committee to look into it in the next ten to sixteen months if we win.”

    Hey, friendly reminder that this bitch voted for Marco Rubio right along with everyone else in the Senate.
