Hmm yes I think I will remove the respected leader that opposed Iran having a nuclear weapons program. 👀

The martyr is immortal, so what exactly does the US think it’s going to accomplish here?

That was widely expected to die soon of natural causes anyway
In a society that reveres martyrdom above all else 🤔

I feel like its a goal of the MIC as it gives them a reason to exist. Use violence, terror, kill civilians to create more enemies and justify more military spending.

Not a good long term strategy, but the orphan crushing machine still has people willing to operate it.

You forgot the last bit, when we’ve fucked the whole world up escape to bunker.
The US generally benefits from depopulating & undeveloping resource rich or strategically marginal areas for coercion, keeping costs down, denial purposes, or just to keeping value chains stable, but this risks blowing up the petrodollar system. I think they might actually be completely insane. What did WarClaudeâ„¢ tell them?
