"In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities."

"The first deaths announced from the US-Israeli strikes on Iran: dozens of school girls. They hit an elementary school in Hormozgan."

"If Trump can declare war without congressional authorization, then Congress has effectively disbanded itself."

"The timing of the initial strikes is unusual.
Often you see these types of operations launched in the pre-dawn hours at the target site partly to limit civilian casualties.
This operation began at the beginning of a work and school day, with millions of adult civilians and children in harms way."

"Throughout the entire Cold War, 'peace talks in Geneva' used to mean something.
Those days are now over.
The United States used the Geneva talks as cover to finalise military operational planning for an all-out offensive attack. Nothing but a cynical charade. An illegal war.
21st century hell."

"Worth noting that Japan using peace talks with Washington as cover for their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor is one of the reasons we were so fucking furious at them on December 8, 1941.
It's WHY FDR called it a Day of Infamy."
@_L1vY_ Technically, Japan planned on declaring War on the US by 7:30 am Dec 7, 1941, 30 minutes before their attack on Pearl Harbor, but the Japanese Embassy took too long to decode the 5,000 word declaration, and the US Embassy staff made the Japanese Ambassador wait because it was Sunday and understaffed. So Japan's sneak attack was less deliberate that Trump's sneak attack.
Notice to the World: If Jared shows up for Peace Talks, it's just cover for a duplicitous coming sneak attack. He's the tell.
