    No more terrorist extremists put in place by DC terrorist extremists. The world needs peace, like Iran actually wanted.

    It’s funny how all 3 countries involved in this (4 if you count Russia) are being hurled towards catastrophe and likely world ending destruction by powerful men who are not even admired by a large percentage of the populations they control.

    Nobody that actually wants a regime change in any of these countries, wants this war to happen.

    A destabilizing war, allegedly necessary to create regime change, will act as a chaotic distraction from questionable leadership, and help each of these men, at least temporarily, tighten their slipping power grips.

    The people of Iran, Israel, and the U.S. are not fighting each other. 3 or 4 men are fighting with angry threatening words and tweets, and making the choice to put all of humanity at risk to do so. Fucking absurd.

      The sad thing is more than likely we will see another build up of extremists with a common enemy like we saw on 9/11. 10 years from now when Trump is dead of old age we will see similar risings like the last Iranian Revolution, assassination of Egyptian President, and Soviet Union push into Afghanistan with the U.S. keeping troops to support Israel in the region that culminated in what we called “Islamic Extremism.” The people who will pay for the acts of this year won’t be those responsible, but those who inherit the hatred created from it.

      The correct term for bombing a countries energy plants you are not at war with is terrorist attack. Because if there wasn’t a reason that was political it’s worse.
