“Western elites salivate over turning Iran into Iraq 2.0 – but this is not 2003”

“Oil, regime change, lies about WMDs, and MSM complicity. Sound familiar?”

"It was a bloodbath. We were overwhelmed by chaos and the screams of grieving family members"

“I’ve seen toddlers, teenagers, adults and the elderly alike. Profusely bleeding mothers were rushing in with their children injured by shrapnel"

[U.S. media echo chember] Leave it to the WSJ and U.S. media to spin Israel’s “missile shortages” into war justification

[…] Tom Karako from the Center for Strategic and International Studies warned that “Neither the U.S. nor the Israelis can continue to sit and intercept missiles all day” and emphasized the need for urgent action, stating they “cannot afford to sit and play catch.”

Israel’s the victim. As expected, U.S. media busy shaping public opinion toward supporting military action by presenting it as the most reasonable response to imaginary strategic challenges, caused by its own provocations.

Meanwhile in #Gaza, Israel is killing dozens of people daily at aid distribution centers that have become death traps.

Israel’s Undeniable War Crimes in Gaza

"The postwar legal order established to prevent the atrocities of World War II has failed, and worse, the U.S., which nominally took on the responsibility of preserving that order, is abetting the killing and abandoning any pretense of adhering to the law."

Swell. Swell. Listening to PBS. Iranian reporters are infuriated and accuse Israel of violating international law when the state news building was attacked on short notice.

People are reportedly urging the government to not surrender and to fight back.

A complaint was aired that Israel is accusing Iran of attempting to assassinate Trump.

"If the US attacks Iran" US assets will be legitimate targets. Threats to shipping.

Sabers are rattling everywhere.

Given that no #US bombs were dropped on #Iran yesterday, I think it's safe to say that the Orange Moron staged this whole theatrical show to avoid the clown troupe at the #G7, and especially the green goblin.
Although every day is difficult for heavy mentally ill people like him, a new dawn is a new hope.

Am I the only one feeling slightly on edge?
I was thinking about the shockingly horrific nuclear war drama “Threads” recently, and seem to recall hostilities in Iran ignited the conflict. Here’s Wikipedia’s summary of the war’s origin, and it seems slightly too close for comfort…

Wikipedia summarizing the causes of the nuclear war in the film “Threads.” “Meanwhile, an international crisis develops after the Soviet Union invades northern Iran in response to a United States-backed coup in the country. The situation rapidly escalates when the USS Kitty Hawk sinks and American troops are deployed to unoccupied western Iran to defend its oil supplies. Daily life in Sheffield continues while an American ultimatum demanding joint withdrawal from Iran expires. After a limited nuclear exchange in Mashhad, the crisis culminates in armed conflict breaking out between the two superpowers.”
