[thetruepandagod]

There has only been one confirmed strike to get through and it injured a couple of people. The Iron Dome plus the UAE has been working this time.

truly we live in dark times

I’m surprised he was still in the country.

I'm guessing he had no one left willing to take him and poke the bear further.

Well i'm glad those school children are dead for this, good thing we trashed the Nuclear deal back during Trump 1.0 so we could get here! #MAGA

I wonder if they're going to reinstall the Shah? Well, his line. I think his son is trying.

Most Persians may not have liked the installation of the Shah, but they definitely preferred the the Shah to the Islamic Revolution... Like the Shah's White Revolution showed he was trying to modernize the country in a positive direction.

U.S.A. big backers of white revolutions right now.

Guys I'm sure this is going to make the world much safer just like when we went after all the WMDs and got rid of Saddam!

Not a fan of how we got there, but it objectively will.

the problem is the initial authoritarianism is what leads to the reaction that often results in even worse conditions. it's not an either/or but a causal relationship where one stems directly from the other. that is it is not a question of the Shah or Islamic theocracy, but an equation where the Shah invariably leads to Islamic theocracy.

Well obviously we didn't need to intervene to reinstate the Shah. The point I was making is that outside of fundamentalists who support the theocracy (which we have seen are not even an overwhelming majority in Iran itself given what we saw of the protests and unrest), most Persians disliked the current government. Therefore it shouldn't be surprise that some may prefer the reversion to the Shah because everyone except purity progressives will prefer the less bad option when presented with two bad options.

So until you put "time travel to prevent the CIA and MI6 from installing the Shah in the first place" on the table, yeah people will back the Shah.

Sorry, he meant 51st state
