    That phrase keeps coming up “has blood on their hands”.

    Why are we there? What is our purpose? What are we doing in that region? You put them there. You kept them there. You instructed those people to murder, assasinate, steal, harass, and terrorize the local population. Not for a single bit for the “defense” of the US homeland.

    When they hit the bully back oh now they are the ones in the wrong?

    What did we do in 1953 to Iran that they would have such a chip on their shoulder about us? I wonder! I really wonder!

      Silly Iranians don’t you know you’re just supposed to let the US coup your government, kill your people, and steal all your shit? You’re not supposed to fight back, that’s un-American!

      At the VP debate which happened the day of the dockworker’s strike and days after the devastation of Hurricane Hellene, the first question to Tim Walz was “Would you support a preemptive strike on Iran” Harm reduction is a myth that we need to quash as the propaganda it is.

          But on the other hand, that “this is the first moment he become presidential” when he started bombing syria, may suggest some easy to establish appeasement loop by warpiggies (bomb iran and get good press, mr. trumpo)

              I hope i don’t come off misogynist, but i don’t think she has original thought in her brain aside from abortion question. When she talks about it, she seems human and caring about it, all the rest is some atlantic council approved/focus grouped to oblivion talking points to move up the ladder. I think she is exactly same as trump (an emptier vessel even, i could glean something from trump, like genuine racism, aversion to violence, love of perceived effectiveness/authority, kamala is like nothing). only she would be impressed by credentials instead of smooth-talking.

                she was an empty pantsuit in the 2020 debates, her most notable moment being callign joe biden a segregationist only for her to negate it fully with being his VP and going “it was a debate, lol” like that just makes it okay to just forget about??

                she’s Hillary Clinton but without any of her skilled sociopathy

      Cause that’s an escalation. Iran is already dog-earred as the “adversary” in the media so saying they are as such isn’t gonna piss them off any more than they already are. It’s a political answer.

      Yeah I thought Russia was enemy number one for the Democrats, but I guess this shows Kamala’s bipartisan efforts to reach across the aisle and have the same demented Zionist views as the GOP and rank Iran in the top spot

    Fairly normal one (for American standards) I remember Obama saying China was the threat in a debate against Romney in 2012. Romney of course said “nuclear armed Iran” as was the style at the time.

      There was also McCain saying he wanted to use nukes on Iran during a debate with Obama. My expression immediately became: ಠ_ಠ

      i thought that was when Romney started warmongering against Russia and the Democrats all laughed at him.

      This is a major psychological moment for the neocons who feel they have been vindicated in their russia hate in 2014/2016/2022, despite mockery

        You recall correctly, I got my order of events mixed up. Romney said that about Iran on Wolf Blitzer’s show after getting clowned on for saying Russia in that debate.
