"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 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."

"The state of the union address was like 72 hours before the US and Israel chose to attack Iran’s capital and call for regime change, and Trump did not even mention his policy toward Iran before Congress, much less ask for a declaration of war."

"CNN is saying the Iranian attack happened after Trump 'lost patience with negotiations'.

I don’t believe it. The negotiations were cover. This was always the plan. The scale of the military buildup showed that."

"if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal."

"the former host of celebrity apprentice and the former host of fox & friends weekend are launching bombs and destabilizing the world for generations all because voters decided their biggest issue was a trans kid playing jv tennis with their friends 4 states over.

"things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy"

@_L1vY_ @BrandonFriedman I'm sure someone actually running the show expects that target to be bombed, and wants the White House to still be usable for the next administration. trump's usefulness is coming to a rapid end...
@hyc I don't think they care tbh. It's just the usual incompetence / malice overlap.
