    Fact is that Ayatollah was 86 and had cancer… he was going to die anyway probably in the next 5 years. We didn’t have to engineer 30K protesters murdered and 150 schoolgirls killed along with him and his wife. We could have been patient, like the Chinese. After all, it is not like Iran has a shortage of mullahs.

    in 1979 the US placed Shah, who looted Iran was ousted. Now we are supposed to champion his son to rule? Some Nepo baby? This administration is straight up incompetent and globally dangerous.

    I hate the regime in Iran. I have a dear friend who was victimized by it. But also hate Benji N’s Israel and D. Trump and most of the ME surrounding who have done nothing for decades to control Iran. Oh noes! We have no ideas and no strategy so lets just send the Trump family a lot of money!

    Some asshole on one of the forums I frequent stated that there was questionable information about the school. I responded that there was questionable information regarding his ethics and partisanship and I not only got blocked but my response was rejected… perhaps ‘CULT’ is a trigger word?



  • He was going to die anyway. Why spend blood and treasure to murder a man who is 86 with a cancer diagnosis? Is critical thinking absent in our Pentagon? Yeah, lets get rid of this mullah… there are over a hundred other mullahs to take over for him. This is an established regime that has been in place for 50 years. 1 in 8 citizens in Iran work for the government… over 94 million population.


  • Have you not learned from Iraq? There is always another mullah. Al Quida was replaced by ISIS. WTF are we involved with the ME anymore? I mean, all those ME nations bombed by Iran, who encouraged the US to enter this (besides our welfare state Israel), well where are their fucking militaries? I guess they paid the Trump family off and felt they had hired their military of the US so our sons and daughters can die for those MFs. Need I remind people we send Israel over 3.8 Billion every year from our tax dollars? so… USAID and VOA does not deserve our few millions but Benji gets the billions and more in crisis and now American deaths. For those that cite 19 fucking 79 hostages… understand, our enlisted were not even born yet. They have no memory of that. Also… most were not even born by 1983 either. And the fact is, the federal military policy allowed that shit to happen.







  • Not true. Plenty of young people enlist for many reasons… Some enlist for patriotism, some for the benefits, some for lack of options/poor employment options. People who don’t enlist usually have better options… or a least more choices. Military enlistment is usually a pragmatic or desperate decision. People who choose not to are not anti-semitic which is a strange accusation. We are citizens of the US, not Israel… they have their own draft. I do not know why that would even be a consideration for a 17-19 year old in the US. They are not exactly readers or followers of current events-- I mean, if they were intellectuals, they would be attending a college. Most of the enlistees come from economically depressed regions that don’t offer them a bright future.





  • Well I heard he had autism, and his mother seems pretty overprotective. So perhaps he is not qualified d/t mental illness. I mean, we don’t know if this kid is stimming out when presented with new experiences. He may not be banging his head against a wall but there may be other issues. Plus, his affinity for people like the brothers Tate (rapist advocates and human trafficking criminals) might just disqualify him d/t character and judgement. What do they say? apples fall from the tree.
