re: Rep. Thomas Massie- "R", eulogizes the Ayatollah

The Iranian people are dancing in over the death of this "martyr."

Some are dancing. Some are angry.

They are yearning for freedom and that very freedom is dawning.

We'll see over time what they want.

Iran has suffered catastrophic loss of leadership across the board, more countries joining in again them (Australia just announced they are getting involved), the US and Israel are controlling the Iranian skies and bombing infrastructure at will, the Kurds are forming to fight against Iran

---

All Iran has to do is survive - that's victory for them. The Kurds are not going to win a land battle with Iran. If our objective is to truly get regime change and more importantly to install our preferred leadership, then boots on the ground will be required. You want all those deaths or would you rather go back to how things were a week ago where Iran posed no national security threats to us at all?

yet SNAP is here desperately trying to tell us all it is all to be feared and Israel is in trouble and simp for Massie.

Accurate and fair evaluation is not simping. It's not hard to see and understand real dangers here. It's realistic for Iran to shut down the Strait of Hormuz. They can saturate the defense systems and get missiles through and if they get help from China with new hypersonic anti-ship missiles (allegedly that deal is being discussed) and especially if China helps with ISR, shutting down the strait is a potential checkmate. It could cause our economy to implode. I have not read an analysis suggesting that we can secure the Strait of Hormuz readily. That's a very difficult task. With or without China's help, Iran has the potential to shut down the Strait. That risk is non-negligible.

Ok then. I bet you believe those really low rent AI videos Iran and Pakistani bots are pushing.

Propaganda is on all sides in war.

You can take note of these real issues or you can keep pretending that lying about what Massie says will be of any benefit.

quote:

---

What exactly did he say that was wrong?

---

He is implying that the Ayatollah is equivalent to some mega church pastor, or to a cardinal in the Catholic church. This claim is utter bullshite. Either Massie is a retard or he is lying for some reason.

The Ayatollah is the supreme leader of the government. It isn't just "custom" or people seeking advice. It is literally enshrined in the Iranian constitution that he makes the final decisions. I mean you can read the Iranian constitution for yourself. It is very clear that he is the head of state.

Iran retains the ability to launch, even degraded, Israel is in big trouble

If a frog grows wings he won’t bump his arse when he hops

No it’s much better to let them get a nuke and use it on us or Israel. That’s what Obama would do.

Thomas Massie has the highest conservative rating of anyone in the House of Representatives

Not when it matters

CPAC, club for growth, and heritage action don’t seem to think so. In fact he’s not in any of their top 3.

It’s situational. Some terrorist sponsoring nations are preferable to others.

For all the talk about Iranian sponsored terrorism, Saudi Arabia’s support of Madrassas that promote global Wahhabism — a militant strain of Sunni Islam — means that Saudi Arabia has been one of the largest state sponsors of terrorist funding worldwide for decades. This is just another example of why it is insane is for the United States to continue to pick sides amongst these medieval death cults.

Bet all your faves voted against this, though.

That’s not what he said. He said he was a religious leader that we turned into a martyr. Likely implication that this will act will increase radical Islam. He never said he was “only” a religious leader. Y’all are just as bad as Reddit.
