Not even one serious international political commentator has any doubts that this is Israel's conflict fought by American boys.
- Every Iranian I know thrilled. They could care less who’s calling the shotsGnash
- That's true of Iranian expats but what about in Iran itself? That's the problemyuekit
- They celebrate there, as wellGnash
- I read reports saying 70-80% or Iranians in Iran welcome it. Amongst young, educated city dwellers it's probably 100%. It's the islamists that are the problem_niko
- if the Persians living abroad is any indication, there's no reason Tehran shouldn't be a world class city, richer, nicer and more advanced than Dubai._niko
- Yeah but the people living abroad are definitely not representative. And a video clip of people in one town cheering doesn't tell you muchyuekit
- There are a few polls that show encouraging numbers like you said but it's pretty thin info to go on if you're trying to engineer a change of government.yuekit
- It’s not thin info, lol.Gnash
- Didn't we already go through this with Iraq where people barely understood the political dynamics in the country before going to war?yuekit
- It’s the American story, like s broken recordsPhanLo
- the "Iranians in Iran are thrilled" info comes from news sources in Israel (then blindly quoted by NYT).pr2
- I think these things can be true at the same time... government is very unpopular but polls conducted from outside Iran by Western pollsters probablyyuekit
- overestimate that number. Also among the people who oppose the government, how many want USA and Israel to bomb their country and overthrow the government?yuekit
- 50% of Iranians might love the regime and 50% might hate it but 100% hate Israel and US.pr2
- who loves Israel and the US? even at home their governments are super unpopular._niko
- globally, do they enjoy more than a 10% approval rating?_niko
- Why would any country trust the US or Israel to help them out?PhanLo
- now you're talkingrenderedred
- You may think ‘they’ hate Israel and US, but the Persians love what they’re doing any way :)Gnash
- The Iranians are happy now, their awful leader is out of their lives but what if US/Israel forces create a Ukraine type of situation there that lasts decades?CyBrainX
- The Iranians wont be happy until the islamist occupiers are all gone, not just the whack-a-mole ayatollahs that will fill the holesGnash

Rubio says US ‘preemptively’ attacked Iran after learning Israel was about to strike

So we now have major wars going on both in Europe and the Middle East...at what point do we start calling it a world war?
- + Pakinstan attacking Afganistan + all the local wars in Africa + probably soon China vs. Taiwan********
- + Drug wars in America + India vs China + ...OBBTKN
- Cuba next
Then Canada probably********

"Speaker Johnson confirmed: Israel was determined to act with or without US support. America chose to join. The constitutional authority for launching a war reduced to: our ally was going to do it anyway. The War Powers Clause of the US Constitution requires congressional authorisation. The Speaker of the House just explained that the actual decision-making process bypassed it entirely because of what Israel was planning to do."

Pretty OK today. Purim, people are in the streets. No attacks, at least here. I hope this is a trend.

I want off this ride. The sheer magnitude of this regime's ineptitude, dishonesty, ignorance, and foolishness is beyond comprehension.
They've now given, what, four reasons for why we've attacked Iran, with the latest being Trump musing on Truth Social that Iran interfering in the 2020 and 2024 elections was a reason? WTF?
- "They've been killing Americans for 20 years," then puts the blame on Obama. When you jump off the ride, take me with you ffs!canoe

If they truly want a regime/ system change in Iran, there's no way it can be accomplished by aerial bombings. At some point ground forces will be needed.
Is that their plan?
What is their plan?

Oh, I was so wrong in the morning. It really was OK. But, from app. 3PM every hour, almost. And now we have a new problem. They hit the rocket or a drone, but stuff falls on the city. I was going out and about all this time, but now, I'll think twice.
- A little shrapnel falling from 20,000 metres is like a bullet.renderedred
- Jesus manYakuZoku
- Do you ever think about fleeing the city while this is going on? Or is that not a realistic optionyuekit
- Is there some media embargo reporting what's going on in Tel Aviv or Israel in general? Unlike last year this time there's barely any mention...NBQ00
- ...of Iranian missiles hitting Israel and we don't see any footage like last year.NBQ00
- @yuekit I am not leaving. Anyway, everywhere else in Israel is worse.renderedred
- @NBQ00 I don't know about any media embargo or such, but, yes, we are being bombed. Especially the north and center of Israel.renderedred
- And we are bombing the shit out of Iran.renderedred
