Not to sound callous, but is there more significance to this guy than just Iranian protestor? Is he just the ridiculously handsome face of the resistance.

I’m not sure why he is standing out among what I assume a mass civilian casualties.


There is an estimate of 20,000 faceless protesters that have been massacred on the streets.

This “guy” as you describe represents the countless number of people that have been kidnapped and tortured and killed.

So yes, he has become a symbol to millions.

Iran's FM Araghchi: Do not repeat the same mistake...


Lol, still trying to spin it. The strikes against their nuclear facilities was perfectly timed and executed and set their program back decades. We know this because they are no longer part of the political discourse, thats how successful they were.

Have they even been able to dig out the facility yet?

I’m hoping the delay is because we have some more strategic and shocking Tom Clancy shite planned rather than just bombing the shite out of them.

Sounds to me like he’s about to puss out. I’d bet $$ our military does nothing. Anyone want to take that bet with me?

I think Trump's smart enough to know that by not doing anything at this point after everything he's said, he'd look extremely weak on the world stage and I don't think his ego would allow that.

That would be the ultimate TACO. I don't trust Trump at all, but I support what he signaled the US would do. Let's hope it goes well and has the desired result.

IRANIAN FM BEGS FOR DIPLOMACY... BUT WHY?!

Iran’s FM Araghchi just pleaded with Trump to back off and go for diplomacy.

But hold up... They’re also accusing Trump of starting a hybrid war and hinting they might send a sniper to kill him, all while still killing protesters in cold blood.

What else would they say unless it’s just deflection or a lie to buy time?

The regime’s clearly scrambling as the death toll keeps climbing.

I think "we encouraged them and now we're going to abandon them" is a valid consideration for Trump's bravado, legacy, etc.

I think it should be zero consideration for US foreign policy in general and I loathe that emotional appeal from conservatives.

As far as I know this is not some cooked up revolutionary upswell we're primarily responsible for. Our statements of support over the course of a few days doesn't obligate us to take drastic action to decapitate a hostile state.

I wonder if the Iranian regime is more resilient than we give it credit for. But I do think if they do fall, the most likely scenario is the IRGC filling in and turning the country into a state like Egypt.

First bombs in June fell at 2:10 local time. It’s 2:10 local time now. Maybe Trump isn’t a giant pussy after all.

Don’t get mad.

You normally hear it here first and with a high rate of accuracy long before it’s confirmed.

I’m years ahead in some categories yall are just coming around to.
