They can't have nukes, they're close to having nukes, general nuke hysteria, "we couldn't make a deal", going over the history of Iran and Israel (obviously not mentioning how Israel blew up their negotiator just now or Iran's attempts to deescalate and normalize global relations for years now), reminding everyone Iran sponsors terrorist groups, etc etc
I mean there's congress members calling for us to launch an attack on them explicitly, some wanted us to launch the first strike on the enrichment facilities while we were still trying to make a deal
We're in the "feel out the room" stage, they've had a carrier group in the area since like January. The next stage is announcing they've already attacked
I agree they’re putting out feelers but I don’t think they’ll get traction. I didn’t find anyone calling for direct US intervention, mainly just indirect support for Israel. Who was saying that?
I also found some leaders explicitly saying the US should not get involved. I guess it feels a lot different from the post-9/11 years when it felt like only political radicals were opposed to war, and basically every mainstream voice was cheering it on. So that’s why I’m a bit more optimistic.
Well, just to follow up...
Fuck me…
I guess we’ll see what happens, certainly I’ve seen some prominent voices on the right pushing back here so it’s not clear he’ll go through with it, but openly saying these things is not good.
Yep, pretty much. Although there's a noticable lack of opposition from Democratic leadership... There's a lot of "we're going to watch the situation closely"
It's not a sure thing, but it's worrisome
Weirdly enough, the military might be one of the biggest sources of resistance. Watching them walk instead of march in the parade was very interesting... So was their choice in music.
We're in the bizzaro timeline for sure
