When discussing Iran in public or other social media, please remember that

this is a Republican war,
these are Republican gas prices,
this is Republican inflation,
these are Republican fuel, aluminum, helium, and fertilizer shortages.

We've got elections to win in seven months time, and that orange fuckwit's name will appear nowhere on the ballot but "Republican" sure will.

And the near ‘gazafication’ of Israel is on Trump’s head. And I’ve lost count of the Gulf-based US military assets, embassies, consulates and CIA offices he lost in the last few weeks. ‘Great job, Trumpie!’

You're saying Iran's missile attacks on Israel are a near-equivalent to the destruction of Gaza by Israel?

Iran has hypersonic missiles carrying multiple warheads. Israeli defense systems are only successful in stopping 91% of them. Israel has very few Patriot missiles left. Three days ago Iran hit Israel with 450 hypersonic missiles and Hezbollah followed up with 2500 rockets. Ben Gurion destroyed. The Port of Haifa mostly destroyed. No water purification/distribution plants left. Electrical plant near Tel Aviv that supplied 40% of israel’s electricity is gone. Nuclear research center and storage center in Dimona is destroyed, Trump was not giving a realistic picture of the situation in his speech yesterday. Israel is in a news blackout regarding these developments,

There is very little information on the damage Iran is wreaking on Israel.

Most of the information coming out might well be Iranian propaganda. I’m hoping we’ll get better information soon. I am scared to death,

It's an Interregnum in the Trump Era. He never stopped plaguing us 2021 - 2025.
