The only way the US wins a war with Iran easily, quickly, and without massive losses is if it uses a nuclear weapon. This fact, combined with that Huckabee post comparing Trump to Truman in 1945 and his “evacuate Tehran” and “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” statements, makes me nervous. Caitlin Johnstone

    Honestly… Yeah, Iran is working towards a nuke, primarily because that would make decapitating their government infeasible (by current standards)

    Iran are not the good guys. The Iranian people seem pretty alright TBH, but their government sucks

    They are a state that sponsors terrorism for geopolitical objectives

    But they’re also the party trying to deescalate. Consistently, for several years now. Israel is not. And that’s so incredibly shameful

      Yeah, and it’s not like there’s a reason they don’t have a democracy or anything…

      I’ve got very few problems with people, but man, a lot of governments are dog shit these days.

      It’s important to remember the distinction because actual wars are breaking out and it’s always the people that pay the price, rarely the governments
