The first people to die during a war are the children.

Distributions to power, water, and health care fall on them first and hardest

This article fixates on the Iranian federal politics while ignoring the real death toll entirely

I guess we’ll find out

I’m sure this won’t have consequences downstream for anyone

Putting on my D.A.R.E. T-shirt and clutching my state issued copy of the Ten Commandments and snapping an Amazon Ring Camera on my front door, so I help the state identify any of those nasty, America hating Antifa I’ve been hearing so much about.

I’m helping!

You only get to say that until you’ve seen how many times he’s clipped his head on a doorframe.

Boomers fought in Vietnam, many of them were drafted, and voted for “no new wars”.

Did you sleep through the '00s?

The Augustus to our modern day Caeser.

Apologies if I’ve touched a nerve.

Again, not clear how the US plans to neutralize long range missile capability of Iran.

Target the depots and destroy them with artillery.

You quite literally have no clue regarding the subject you’re opining on here.

This was established decades ago in excersises the US has been running since the Cold War Era.

The goal isn’t to defeat Iran in a quick war, but to neutralize the nation’s long range artillery and turn it into a free fire zone for American and Israel armies.

Ukraine isn’t Iran. It has a firm rear guard of support from the NATO block, supply lines that can re-arm and re-staff depleted arsenals and positions along the eastern front, and allied agencies ready to pick at Russia’s flanks - by seizing cargo shipping, assassinating ranking political leadership, and blowing up critical domestic infrastructure.

What the Iranians lack, at the end of the day, is friends. Nobody in the Russian, Pakistani, or Chinese government is going to send saboteurs into Israel on their behalf. Nobody is going to help them keep the Straight of Hormuz shuttered. Nobody is going to blow up Saudi desalination plants or bomb peripheral American military bases.

Once Iran military can no longer produce and deploy new ballistic missiles, the country just becomes target practice for its enemies. We (probably) won’t see a Rumsfeld-style blitz into Tehran, like they managed in Baghdad. But we will see Iranian airspace closed, critical infrastructure destroyed, and population centers targeted to effectively break up the political face of Iran into its component parts.

What becomes of a nation without a central bureaucracy, an intercity municipal system, or a functional electrical grid? This was a country already in a water crisis months ago. It is a nation functionally under siege by the most sadistic and savage militaries in history. People are going to die by the millions before this is over, simply due to disease, drought, and famine. It’s going to be a country the size of Germany experiencing what Israel has done to Gaza.

Quite literally bombed into the Stone Age.

Wild to see the bodies stacking up all over Iran, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan, while the fucking USA Today keeps crying about future potential American dead.

100 girls murdered at an elementary school by US and Israeli munitions and American journalists seem to have straight up not noticed.

Breaking the nuclear taboo on a country that’s exhausted its ability to fight back seems like it would be buried somewhere in the Project 2025 fine print.

I think the plan is to have Iran’s arsenal of ballistic missiles demolished before then.

If it’s an hour that ends in “o’clock” it’s time to speculate on the President’s health.

I hear he’s got terminal cooties, pass it on.

Be careful putting all your hope on this campaign

No no. She’s an outside long shot on a good day. I’ve seen the polls. But the Iran War puts some of her most popular issues at the forefront of the race.

If you look at the cross tabs, Basically, Biss voters split between Kat and Fine as second choice, and all Fine voters break to Biss, and all Kat voters also break to Biss.

With some enormous undecides floating in the wind. It’s absolutely Biss’s race to lose. But as Fine gets more money and support to challenge Kat and Biss, she’s defining herself more strictly as a pro-Hasbara candidate. And she’s doing it in a race where Israel is a highly polarizing issue.

If this were typical times and typical campaigns, i’d say Kats done and Biss is going to win this. However, key issue I identified early: this is a poll of “likely voters”.

Like with Mamdani, a big turnout spike would favor the more progressive primary challengers simply because the high profile issues favor Kat’s campaign.

But also, it’s Chicago Politics and that shit’s cutthroat. Rahm Emanuel could jump out from behind a bush and just stab a bunch of candidates, idfk.

I mean they are litterally breaking a momentum for a blue wave which has never ever been at the scale this one the potential for.

Every sitting Democrat is lining up to pull an Andrew Cuomo when most races are lucky to have someone like Curtis Sliwa on the other side of the ballot line.

At least the primaries aren’t over yet. This might be what candidates like Talarico and Abughazaleh need to squeeze over the line… so they can join a rump minority of progressives in a legislature that’s green lighting another $50B to bomb Cuba in 2027.

“Don’t blame me, I voted for Kudos”.

It’s crazy to see a Congo Line of (D) Senators go on cable news and announce “I love our President’s war in Iran, I just wish he’d asked us nicely first”, as videos and pictures trickle in of whole schools being massacred and neighborhood hospitals flattened.

The same folks who were screaming “This never would have happened under Harris” a month ago have come out pledging unswerving allegiance to the Israeli flag over the weekend.

There’s nothing in the released files that implies Clinton did anything illegal.

I gotta wonder how you resolve a game of Clue if you’ve got the suspect, the room, and the murder weapon, but you still can’t figure out who done it.

Clinton has been credibly accused of sexual assault on multiple occasions. “I didn’t do the sex crimes on the sex island with the other rapists” is a “I smoked but I didn’t inhale” ass defense.

If you believe it…

“People should be in the streets to stop the war”

“Will a protest march stop the war?”

“No! But… it’s tradition, you know?”
