I hate that it is so easy to weaponize what has happened and manipulate the public into having to decide between these crude binary narratives as if there are only two opinions you can have on the matter- you're either in favor of Cartoon Villain Khamenei or Trump.
No nuance, no discussing the wider geopolitical consequences, the fact that Trump did this unilaterally without approval of congress, how this will likely end up in sectarian civil war and displace millions of people, how the USA just lent its muscle to further an Israeli imperial agenda in the Middle East...
Reducing this to a meme-friendly choice between two evil men is how accountability disappears and this type of unilateral imperial escalation becomes normalized and cheered.
