"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."

"Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack.

'The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates,' Trump told me. 'It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead.' "
