SO IF THE GOAL WASN'T #RegimeChange, what was it?

Why are we bombing a nation of 90M people with no capability of reaching the U.S. mainland? 🤔

‘What the hell is going on?’: Trump admin unable to explain attack on Iran

Jen Psaki shares a dizzying collection of contradictions and nonsense from the Trump administration and its allies trying to explain the reason for attacking Iran, the goals of doing so, or even whether it's ok to call it a war.

Operation Iranian Liberation? 🤨

#Iran

@MugsysRapSheet
I’m actually kind of shocked they didn’t come up with that.
@fname @MugsysRapSheet assuming they are not total idiots (doubtful), I think the objective is to take #iran #oil out of market, more than to "steal" it (i.e. as what happened in the 1990s #Iraq "food for oil" program ). #USA producers "suffered" of low oil prices for so long ! would someone please think of the poor shareholders and warmongers please 🙄

@hszakher @fname
I remember in 2000, long-haul truckers went on strike b/c the cost of diesel rose 20cents/gal to $1.89.

Candidate #Dubya said that if he were elected, he'd tell OPEC to "open the spigots".

Then he invaded #Iraq, the price oil went from $28 to $149, and never got close to under $30 again.

Gas prices tripled and the economy crashed b/c no one could afford their "interest only loans" any longer.

...and that's EXACTLY where I see us going again.

Click the archived link above (read the spot) then scroll up two spots.

Linked story: Candidate #Dubya says he'd tell OPEC to "open the spigots" to bring gas prices down (which had topped $2/gal in #Chicago).

Scroll up two stories for "OPEC Increases Production But Prices Still Rise."🤦‍♂️

By 2008, the price of oil had risen over 500 PERCENT and #Dubya crashed the economy.

@MugsysRapSheet @fname somethings never change apparently
