Iran declares U.S. citizens, personnel 'legitimate targets' after strike on nuclear sites

Fuck you, don't assume that shit on me. I voted, I volunteered on phone banks, I tried talking to whomever you listen on why this guy was a bad deal all the way back from 2015, and it was never for that walking piece of human excrement.

Americans have only ever pretended to care about non-combatants when it's convenient. President Obama even invented the term 'enemy combatant' so he could pretend his drone strikes were killing fewer civilians.

But sure, same thing right?

Stand back, everyone. This guy made phone calls. I’m sure MAGA knows better than to show their face in this guy’s neighborhood!

Fellow muricans; stay out of metropolitan areas on July 4th. My guess is that we're going to see the inevitable marriage of military and local law enforcement using the "iranian sleeper sell agents biden let loose in our country" angle instead. Faux news frontpage is laying the groundwork as of yesterday.

It isn’t just Iran’s opportunity to enact mere vengeance, but it is a convenient opportunity to have that vengeance become deeply ingrained into the mind of America for a long time to come. Where we would once have celebrated our independence, that celebration would be contaminated by a horrific attack. It's not just about enacting petty revenge, but it'd be about sending a message for generations. Also, the date is conveniently close.

Yeah, citizens and nuclear weapons research are perfectly equivalent targets.

Iran's leaders are dumb, but I don't think they're that dumb.

sleeper sell agents
Damn, they must be really good at selling if they can do it in their sleep!

More than many people did, though. Including you.

Maybe, but how brutal was it when we went into Afghanistan? Who did we attack when we invaded Afghanistan? Who runs that country now? For all that effort we put into getting rid of Al-Qaeda, they seem to still be running things. If I were a religious zealot, where I think my terrorism gets me into heaven, sending a message to the west in such a terrorist attack might be worth it. After all, the religious leader there is like 80-something, so he might not mind sacrificing the few years he has left for a guaranteed entry into heaven.
The cynic in me is going to bet that the Trump administration already knows an attack is coming, and they will let it happen. It's an easy reason to implement martial law. Then, with the ongoing emergency he'll always somehow manage to have manifest when people try to get him to give up power, he'll let the Iranians attack. Then, another emergency is declared.

Dear Iran, leave us Americans out of this fight. Your fight is with trump alone, we are hostages of him. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
Imagine a group of criminals holding a police station hostage. You are not the hostages, you are the ones who are supposed to take care of the hostage takers.

Waaayyy more likely Trump nukes them on July 4th just to flex.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I suppose the hit on Bin Laden couldn't have been launched without significant presence in Afghanistan. Why you stayed there after that though was weird. That seems to have been Obama's mistake.

Typifying a nation state by to it's goals, rhetoric, and past actions is not antisemitic, but the government of Israel definitely wants you to conflate it as such.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]It was under Bush to justify imprisoning civilians. Bush was all for direct war actions.
Obama massively increased bombings and drone bombings to pull out combat troops and would do stuff like double tap weddings. To lower the number of civilian deaths, Obama declared any male over the age of 14 to be, by definition, an enemy combatant.
The person you responded to was correct, though a bit imprecise with their words.

Well, do yourself what you would expect other people in a rogue state to do. How many cries of "the Russians should overthrow the government!" were there?
Or to bring in a parable: What would you have expected from the average German citizen in 1939?
I would expect the avg German citizen in 1939 to be historically fucked with no options but bad ones!
