Randahl FinkTrump is so unhinged that I am now looking at posts from the speaker of the Iranian Parliament and thinking, "He is not wrong".

Petter EierssonIt's a world gone totally topsy-turvy.
@tomatensson or somehow a world giving both insane regimes the punishment they deserve: Each other.
If only they carried it out in a cage fight and left us in peace. ๐
Nomad Skateboarding@tomatensson @randahl #RobotJox got it almost right. I would have the leaders do battle with each other if they want war...
"50 years after a nuclear war, the two superpowers handle territorial disputes in a different way. Each fields a giant robot to fight one-on-one battles in official matches, each piloted by a man inside, known as robot jockeys or jox."
Silkester@nomadskateboarding @tomatensson @randahl
Oh no. No robots allowed. Can we keep in mind that both countries are governed by dictatorship with a minority representation.
Even pro-crimes-against-PoC-MAGA is against THIS war.
d.o.c.w.u.@silkester @nomadskateboarding @tomatensson @randahl no, he's right. Robot are the thing. With ellbox rockets, for the better punch!
And if the politicians and volunteer soldiers were put into an arena to hash it out, I'd agree.
But the civilians didn't ask for this shit. Even most of US soldiers joined the army out of desparation to get an affordable education not dying in Iran.

WesDym@randahl Maybe, but there's nothing cute about sharing propaganda from a brutal regime that funds terrorism.

Eggs now in different baskets.@wesdym @randahl I suspect that most of the RotW just wants its cheap oil back.
Go back to Carney's Davos speech.
We just wanted to believe that the US were the good guys.
Now it is not just that the signs have been taken out of the shop windows it is that the shops windows together with the shops themselves have been bombed out of existence.
JamesAshburner@randahl The IRGC understands the USA vastly better than the Trump โAdministrationโ understands anything except corruption and theft.
Frank FrankRemember the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, 1941-1979, the guy who westernized Iran? Yes, the IRGC fully understands the U.S..

Mason Loring Bliss@randahl Their command of messaging is daunting.

Osma A ๐ซ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฆThere's some pretty hard trolling going on by one repressive, violent regime towards another. If they keep this up, I'm afraid it may escalate to a full blown hot war.

crispy branzino โญ (sold out forever)@randahl clearly a reasonable man who didn't watch us try to murder the head of state of Cuba 62 times and fail. The man literally outlived Reagan.
Lynn D@randahl hereโs the thing that I keep thinking. Our Western (Israeli-propaganda sympathetic) media has continuously demonized Iran leading the West to continue horrific sanctions against the Iranian people. Now, Iโm not claiming that Iran are a โgoodโ regime, but are they any worse that say, authoritarian Saudi Arabia, (whose citizens quite literally attacked the US on 9/11), and who for years have imposed much harsher restrictions on women, torture prisoners, etc. etc. ?

Ivan DjansazovJust checked ... Trump is the only person in USA to launch nukes, and no one has the authority to veto it.
This is so messed up!
cwsound@randahl is it a good time to remind people that Trump thinks that pilots who gets shot down are loosers? Thatโs what he said about John McCain
Melissa B@randahl Right? This whole thing has made me realise how much I value competence and rationality. I'm looking at two violent, evil regimes and about one of them I find myself thinking, "But at least they're logical and use language well," whereas the other, "And on top of all the rest, they're so ignorant and stupid." It is yet another disorienting element in humanity's tightening predicament.
Rob Johnston ๐@randahl "Front Burner" is a daily news podcast that did a show recently called "Iran and the propaganda war" in which the first few minutes is mentioned some interesting memes that Iran has posted.

It would be interesting if someone could find them all and post them here, for those academic interested.

I can't decide whether Trump is a psychopath or suffering from dementia. I fear it's now both.
Susanne Lilith@randahl Wer sagt, dass der Pilot nicht absichtlich nicht gefunden werden will?
DressToKILT@randahl this post should be added to textbooks as an example of asymmetrical warfare.
