Oh, good. The US and Israel are deliberately targeting civilians during a holy period. This won't come back to bite the US at all.

Well, Pete did say the US was no longer going to be following those pesky "rules of engagement" anymore. I guess this is what he meant.
You mean Pete "the famously anti-Muslim Christo fascist who sees himself as a modern day crusader and proud infidel " hegseth? He's gotta get a better nickname
Nope, Americans have been doing double tapping for a while. Unironically thanks Obama.
And we're still claiming to be doing this because the Iranian people were stuck living under a murderous and repressive regime? Or has he just dropped the act?
tonight radio-canada (the french-speaking counterpart to the CBC) was interviewing a lot of people from Iran, and one of the questions the interviewer asked was "so, with Khamenei dead, do you think people will go to the streets to protest their government and bring about regime change?" to which the interviewee just answered "no people are hiding and fleeing, Tehran is being bombed!"
so idk about the usa but canadian state media certainly seems to want to spin it as an act of liberation 🤮
Right now everyone in the resistance is saying to stay inside while the bombing campaign is happening. They will wait for the signal to start the uprising. Because obviously taking to the streets when there's a bombing campaign happening is a really dumb thing to do.
Consider that this site might not be giving you all of the information about what's happening in Iran.
No way to know how many will take to the streets when they're told "it's time". Last time it was millions. The regime machine gunned down tens of thousands, bodies piled up in the streets, really horrific. This time I'd guess the resistance is going to have weapons air dropped to them and some drone support and intel. Should even things up.
There are very few people in Iran that don't know someone that was executed by the regime and the IRGC is being decimated. If the members of the IRGC were smart, they'd get out while they can, though I don't know who would take them. I suppose Russia is always looking for some more criminals to send to the front lines.
Best of luck to the resistance when the time comes.
They aren't here for regime change they are here for PR points and to distract from domestic problems.
A) They aren't going to ever tell you it's time because your needs never meant anything to them
B) There will be no weapons air dropped to you because your revolution is a non-goal for them.
C) The remaining military is still going to be mostly alive and capable of machine gunning you down again
D) The new leader will be as bad as the old in fact it will probably be one of his deputies who have already been largely running the show
Sounds like propaganda playing us. Piss off, all you are going to do is get these people killed as they rally around the flag.
“no people are hiding and fleeing, Tehran is being bombed!”
The same people who marched in Toronto begging Trump to invade Iran carrying King Pahlavi signs?

Help is on the way.
There are Iranian grifters with relatively large followings (they do artificially inlfate their numbers though) among the diaspora still making this claim. When they talk I just hear: "Bomb my family harder , Daddy!"
They're now saying it's because of Armageddon.
I wish I was joking.
Well, strictly speaking the dead are now free from the Iranian Regime.
I mean, if you look at the list of all the nations Trump started wars with or authorized attacks in, he's clearly big on bringing Peace ... Of The Grave.
Hegseth already said it was about advancing US interests. But he might have been drunk.
"but khomeini killed 2 million students in 2 weeks!!!!"
Known "tactic" previously employed by the Israelis in Palestine, as well as by Assad in Syria, and by many other mindless butchers. They're not interested in mission objectives or the safety of the world, they just want to watch their enemies burn. And some keyboard warriors in Europe and the US cheer this evil on. What has the world come to?
yeah the russians really love this shit on ukraine first responders.
it's the calling card of a coward leading a coward society.
Not just keyboard warriors, Germany enabled logistics merrily.
Sorry, but I'll have to disagree with you. The gradual disassembly of rules-based order has done something to the world in the 21st century. Recommended reading:

Weird, it shows up here. This was what I linked to.

Double taps are designed to kill civilians, then kill responders.
Fucking war crime.
That's fucked up. Just targeting civilians like any other mad dictator. No pretense of going after military targets.
I guess this is what hegseth meant by "no stupid rules of engagement." Just unmitigated war crimes, in plain view...
I recall Trump was bestowed the FIFA Award of Peace. There was a gold trophy and award ceremony and everything.
Who on Earth could have foreseen such a reversal?
I'm an idiot that doesn't understand facial expressions. What is this meant to convey? Or is it meant to be a commentary on many Americans being too large and sick to worry about what the government is doing to people?
They did actually. A few pretty large ones. But there was zero coverage of them in the news. Wonder why...
Aren't these the people the shag wanted to fight for him against the IRGC?
I would play a game of
shag / fight / IRGC
- Shag → Iran
- Fight → Israel
- IRGC → America
There was a time where I would have attributed such tactics to terrorist groups, but in this time, it could be both, US or Israel.
they been doing it for decades
Idk about that one. It's just way harder to suppress news now than it was back in Iraq and Nam.
How is it different from Vietnam and Iraq?
Rape, torture, deliberate murder of civilians all happened during Iraq and Vietnam wars
"the SS was better organized back in the day"
So in your opinion, the raping and murdering in Vietnam for example was less ridiculous or better?
They purposefully target civilians, and make sure there are no survivors by targeting rescue crews. Unfathomable evil.
