War is now!

Well, you can’t blame Iran. I know they are a threat to us and other countries, but they did not start this war!

The coward egotistical TACO & Israel did! Now, this will escalate into a full blown war.

1. You do realize that the bombing of an American air base was a "saving face" move, right?

The Iranians told our intellegence to get every one OUT of that base hours before they sent the missles so that no one would get hurt. This was NOT an escalation on their part.

Yes, Trump is a grotesquely evil fuck too. But Netanyahu is playing both sides for chumps and getting away with it so we don't notice his genocide going on in Gaza. Fuck both of them.

but I think that it's coming soon. I saw an interview with the old shah's son or grandson the other day, and he seemed like he was ready to move in and take over. Somebody's promised him something.
