. Trump added that he "moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn't get there.

A minority elected a convicted unrepentant rapist whose rape supply was cut out and the urge kept growing and growing ,he had to rape something little girl country whatever just has to satify that unending urge.

I know it's an optical illusion, but damn it's terrifying.

The hope as the interceptors go up, and the "Oh shit" when they clearly miss. That's got to be the defining image of the early part of this war.

Not a bit of popular support for Iran outside of the Kremlin and some degenerates in the West.

But if you polled the entire middle east, I think you'd get a bit of a shock.

The people there are likely going to blame the US and Israel for starting this in the first place.

Feel free to defend this war as much as you want “war gamer”.

The people in those countries may not support Iran but they sure don’t support Israel either.

They’re basically collateral damage from the US and Israeli attacks. Iran’s plan is simply to make lives there miserable. It’s a game of attrition.

No one likes Iran’s leadership, but few were keen on an all out war. And I’m not convinced the people there have the same thoughts as their leadership. It’s pretty complex.

As for whether they’re happy about it, maybe they should go after Iran themselves. Why is the US constantly pulled into this by either Israel, Saudi Arabia or other gulf countries that can’t get their shit together or simply use us as a mercenary force?

Asymmetric warfare at its finest. Make lives in neighboring countries as miserable as possible.
