    Good. Although I’m afraid not very efficient in the grand scale. Their whole system won’t probably collapse because of the death of a single scumbag, however important he might have seemed.

      There do remain the fanatics, and they’re not going to change their ways, they’ll just pick a successor after running Iran by committee.

    They’ve got the tiger by the tail now, then. Either the US and Israel pursue this all the way through to full regime change, or when they finally withdraw they’re going to be left with an implacable enemy for generations.

    I’m sure Trump thought this all through in thorough detail, though, and has a long-term plan.

      I don’t think an unpopular regime leader that oppressed the people for 37 years will become a martyr for very many people.

        He probably will be a. Martyr for all the people that were fighting the protestors to keep him in power.

      It creates a narrative for a retaliation attack (fake or real, doesn’t matter) that will shock America into forgetting about the Epstein Files. Whoever controls the release of those files holds Trump literally by his balls.

          I’m anti-war, but I’m not going to lose sleep at night over a tyrannical leader getting bombed.

          You can be against the US and it’s allies starting another war in the middle east plunging us into another multi decade quagmire AND you can be happy that that Islamist despot khomenini got the roof caved in on his ugly head

          They’re not mutually exclusive

        Top-level comment was framing him as a feminist and had what I assume was a screengrab from his social media picturing an “inspirational” photo of a wheat field at sunrise with a muslim supplication about being sinful and repentant and asking god not to turn his face away like he rightfully does from his other servants.

        Tankies hate religion except for when it’s an anti-western theocratic dictator’s religion.
