It is so cosmically funny to me that he pulled that whole stunt with the jet only for the speech to be exclusively remembered as "The Mission Accomplished Speech". Some people will have to google "george bush jet stunt" to know what I'm talking about, which is remarkable considering how hard they tried to make it a thing at the time.

That's the name of his underpants.

Khomeinei

First one was Khomeini.

Much like the Sequels, there’s no long term plot for this war so bringing back familiar characters is easier on the audience. I expect to find out Soleimani survived and now has a pair of bionic legs.

Kermit would've been more interesting.

If it was true they're would not be able to elect a replacent if you thrust american media.

Currently they're giving him a 43% chance of still being the leader of Iran by the end of the year. So I suppose his chance of surviving at all is a little higher than that...

Nothing encapsulates the capitalistic moral decay of the modern world quite as much as this

Someone set up an alert for new multi thousand dollar bets

Or any of the bunkers, or any administrative building. Also keep the fuck away from schools

I see they did decide on him in a REMOTE meeting (apparently leadership figured out that perhaps hanging out together in the same building wasn't the smartest call)?

...and other brothers in other mile deep bunkers.

"Can you guys just call me Ayatollah Ali? In honor of my dad."

We probably will.

This is exactly what they want, but I doubt the Kurds are going to trust them anymore, so the US really has no control over how things settle.

The US is currently operating at the strategic level of a drive-by shooter.

They've had ample practice in South America for decades.

An exterior threat can have a rally-around-the-flag effect. They hate the administration, but now they see an even bigger threat, a foreign threat. They might not want to rock the boat now.

Discontent only turns into Revolution when enough people voice it and act on it, as they feed each other's confidence in changing things eventually turning into a critical mass for change.

An external enemy that attacks for no reason, more so one which is so murderous and immoral that they would mass kill children, will make a lot of people not voice their discontent with the only structure capable of unifying them in defense against the external agreessor, much less act against it.

Then on top of that, that murderous foreign aggressor has actually voiced their the desire for said Revolution.

If before in Iran voicing opposition to the regime might actually inspire others to also voice their own discontent, now it will inspire others to attack that person for doing what that foreign aggressor wants.

So what before was growing into a critical mass for change amongst the general population has now been rolled back into what is most small groups of like-minded extremelly anti-regime individuals surrounded by a general population that sees them as working for a foreign aggressor which is so evil that they blew up a school full of children.

I used the expression "claimed to desire" for a reason.

What Trump (or, in fact anybody in his administration) says and reality are totally unrelated things which at the best of times are about as related as boats which pass each other in a thick fog.

Absolutely not, Iranians were cheering when the guy died. Bombs fall and they cheer. There's no way people who do that will suddenly ally with the regime again.

what do you think hamas exist because of iran? no dumbass, hamas exist because constant aparthied and genocide inflicted by the illegal israeli state and resistance will existence until zionists ethnically cleanse palestinians or palestine gets liberated

You are a zionist if you dont support armed resistance
