Notice how quickly all that bullshit about "liberating the Iranian people" disappeared and now it's all bomb them into the stone age, poison their air and water, destroy their schools and universities, and steal their oil.
It's almost as if you should never believe a single word a Republican says, ever.

@Lana Yeah, when the orange stain said, "Help is coming", I knew the Iranian people were effed.

Not just because he's such a liar.

Also because of all the tragically deluded Venezuelan expats who were bizarrely believing that "regime change" was actually going to somehow turn into regime change.

So sad. Like, no. No, sweetie. Same regime, new parasite. That's all.

@Lana There's nothing sadder than right wing expats believing and believing POTUS Trump will be their savior.

Well, maybe there's one thing sadder - a right wing son of expats who pathetically serves in the cabinet of the dementia cheeto who relentlessly belittles him.

@Lana
Or, it turns out, the supposed heirs to the last shah of Iran.

@Lana The one #republican who did something useful was Mitt Romney as governor of #massachusetts. In 2006 he created the health insurance system that President #Obama later based the Affordable Care Act on.

Really it should be called RomneyCare.

Oh, and Republicans are still pissed about it.

@Lana Heavy is the mask, the fash let drop to the ground.

@Lana

Sounds exactly like what he's doing to the people of the United States.

@Lana When Reagan said “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help”, he didn’t mention that he meant specifically the Republican government.
@Lana just like at home... Destroy, corrupt, surpress.
@Lana "Liberation", as defined by USA
@Lana This was just before you, in my timeline.

This fucking guy. #25thAmendmentNow “Renowned historian Timothy Snyder leveled two explosive accusations against President Donald Trump: that his proposed 50% defense budget increase could be a bribe to secure military loyalty for a coup attempt, and that a staged domestic terror attack is his best remaining path to nullifying elections.” - Daniel Hampton https://www.rawstory.com/amp/trumps-military-budget-2676666332

@Lana
It is and was only ever about the last three words.
@Lana You've also seen mention of the "Iran can never have the bomb" angle has all but disappeared. With the exception of some nuclear power plants, which are now essentially marked as targets by Trump (which is completely insane), all of Iran's above ground nuclear infrastructure is destroyed or we flat out don't know about it from an intelligence perspective.
@Lana Thing is we still don't know what became of Iran's 450 KG of highly enriched 60% Uranium after prior round of mop strikes, because Trump so telegraphed that they were coming that Iran cut off IAEA inspections and could have moved their stockpiles elsewhere. We also know nothing of the disposition of the many tons of Uranium which Iran had enriched to lower levels.
@Lana We still don't know about these things, and they're important things to know, but it'll probably take a massive ground invasion and a complete overthrow of the regime in order to find out the answer to these questions. So, The narrative has changed.
@Lana If the Trump regime does end up invading, we might hear the nuclear angle get used again for sake of justification, although there's been precious little justification so far, beyond that it's what the evil mad king and the supporters of his regime want.
@Lana
Very true.
Though no one with more than three working neurons actually believed Trump's feeble "liberation" claims in the first place.
