Don’t forget BASE jumping.

“Transition to democracy… among the political elite…”

Venezuela was already a democracy. Venezuela’s elite sold out their country to be a US oil field. They’re still expecting their betrayal to pay dividends? Keep crying.

We can only hope that the people of Venezuela begin taking to the streets to re-instate democracy, confiscate the property of everyone involved in this coup and put them in prison. This would be the only just outcome.

lol This is great (toxic) fun if you’re dealing with a difficult family member, but very dumb if you’re interacting with a belligerent nuclear empire.

His dementia would have to severely deteriorate his mind to the point that he was completely different person for him to backtrack now.

He’s already been told that if the straight remains closed and the bombings continue that he risks a global depression, and Trump loves to talk trade. Surrendering is him trying to salvage what little he has left to lose.

He could change his mind on everything but this. This is where the stakes are too high and he can’t afford to lose anymore ground.

They are a Lebanese force and the reason Lebanon was liberated from Israeli occupation in the first place.

But Israel is a colonizer state, which seeks to steal and occupy more land. So every decade Israel makes an attempt to re-occupy Lebanon and faces resistance from the Lebanese.

Dems don’t want to sell that reality. They want to whip up their base to vote harder so that they can squander another supermajority on something dumb, like giving Israel more arms to genocide. Then Israel re-initiates the Iran war so that the can Dems can be in charge of losing.

Even worse is that I’m being downvoted by gooners.

If Iran can do it, then Turkey can as well

There will be protests and I’m hopeful she won’t actually face punishment.

You should be placed in horny jail.

EVs beat me up and killed my dog.

He was hanging out with me at the time of the killing. He couldn’t have done it.

Truly, we are a decadent empire.

These people wanted us to implement a draft and throw millions of Americans at Israel’s most fortified enemy in the region for peanuts. Fuck AIPAC and all other Israeli organizations that want us to fight their battles for them. We’re staying home and we’re not fighting anyone.

Stay on your high horse, looking down on everyone. I said I was going to vote and now you’re discouraging me? You must really want me to vote and see Talarico win. Or are you a Ken Paxton fan?

Talarico is nothing special and I don’t believe in voting, but the opportunity to end Paxton’s career is too great to pass up. Seeing him lose is worth showing up to the polls for.

The most over leveraged people just found out that modern technology requires energy. No energy = no technology. They came up with a dumb way to waste energy right before an energy crisis. Good job. Have fun recycling all your special AI chips, dumdums.

Compares dead protesters with genocide and makes other false equivalencies.

I know better than to follow politicians and support their wars. If you want to support Palestinians, then engage in boycotts and demand the US stops giving material support to the Israeli military. If you wanted to help Iranians, then you should’ve opposed tariffs.

If the peace deal holds, then the tariffs will be lifted, meaning that the Iranian government will have won back better conditions for their people with this war. That’s what victory for Iran means: no tariffs and money to rebuild to create better conditions for regular Iranians.

Iran is up and you’re complaining you didn’t get to bomb them more. We really are different.

There was absolutely no reason to go to war with Iran. Killing protesters happens everywhere and is never an excuse to bomb a country or invade them. War is a form of terrorism and should always have a meaningful (and achievable) political objective that benefits the state engaging in it.

There are no humanitarian wars. Intervening in domestic politics implies that Iranians are children who cannot govern themselves. They vote. They have a democracy. Their society will move according to the conditions they live in.

We have had an oversized impact on Iranian life through our tariffs. We do more to undermine Iranian life with our economic policies than the leaders of Iran do with their governance. When we hear protesters used as an excuse for war, we become part of a conspiracy to further undermine Iranian democracy through escalation, when we should have been calling to better Iranian life by putting an end to tariffs.
