Okay, real talk, do anyone in real life seriously believe we're in this war to distract from Epstein/to save Trump's polling numbers/for Israel? I have seen all those claims on reddit, i don't believe anyone really believes first two, but appearantly a conservative influence said the last one (and got kinda dogpiled for it.)
No. People on Reddit who try to link every single fucking thing that ever happens to Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump are the same people who 120 years ago would try to attribute everything that goes on in their little village to Rapture.

I have met people who believe it, they were all Anti-trumpers with legit TDS. I always tell them, "You know you can be pro strikes and still want to kill those who were on the list, the two aren't mutually exclusive," but they don't believe it. Seriously. TDS is real.
 
Copy pasting it from this Twitter Page but he successfully explains the gravity of the strike:

No new supreme leader elected today and if the Assembly of experts are dead, it's going to be pretty much impossible for the Islamic Republic to appropriately select a new supreme leader according to the Constitution.

According to the Constitution, the Assembly of experts chooses the new supreme leader.

The Assembly of experts are a elected position by the people of Iran. So should anything happen to a member of the Assembly of experts, there has to be an election. But in order to run you have to be vetted through the guardian council who are appointed by the supreme leader so if anything happens to them as well then you literally cannot appropriately. Have a peaceful transition of power within the confines of the Islamic Republic of Iran's Constitution.
we've literally buck broken their theocratic constitution
 
This isnt just leadership. They took out the council that selects the leadership. They cant select a new council either, because the council is selected by the leader! So theyre stuck in a chicken or the egg paradox now. The succession loop has been broken.

Trump really outdid himself by picking his men, this level of precision and optimization is unheard of these days, this is the type of thing you read from warfare 2000 years ago by the Romans, the difference that makes picking people based on merit rather than nepotism or how much estrogen they can chug in a second. This is the buckbreaking of the century, made even more embarrasing by the fact that a ramdom tranny shooter kills more Americans than Islam's top dog nation.

This should be wrapping up very soon unless a new suprise arises.

if you prefer asses, you are of the devil.
Its over for me.
 
Stocks I wasn't looking to sell anytime soon are down 3.7%, this is what it must feel like being airstriked by Iran. I suffer in solidarity with the arab world
 
Iranian military achievements over Israel in the last 24 hours have basically been hitting a patch of literal dirty in Bnei Barak last night and shrapnel a few hours ago hitting: a parked car, a road, and one house, where the injuries inside were only glass cuts.

Khamenei would be proud.
That parked car? Bibi's car (which he was in at the time). That road? The super duper Iron Dome master control room was hidden under it. That innocuous looking house? Mossad HQ.

Iran is on the verge of complete victory.

I don't mean liberals lol, i mean among conservatives. Some people are going to dislike whatever Trump does, that's a given.
I'm sure some believe it, the same way that some believe it's for Iran to never get nukes. I would just disregard them and move on
I don't mean singular people, i mean a signifiant portion of people.
 
a signifiant portion of people.
Nobody here cares about what a significant portion of people think. According to prior polls (before this even started getting dragged out), only something like 25% of the US populace support the war. This is the absolute ceiling. But if you were just looking at posts here, you'd think there's widespread support or at least it's 50-50. Most people here live exclusively in bubbles of their own making and refuse to interact with opposing or even foreign viewpoints in good faith. It is what it is, so either embrace it and keep engaging for whatever reason it is you're engaging in the first place, or don't and in that case you're probably wasting your time.
 
Explosions started again, fucking damnit Khamenei you motherfucker! TRUMP GIVE ME STRENGTH FOR I ATE MCDONALD'S! IM IMMUNE TO ROCKETS!(Inb4 deceased tag)
 
Have many more of the Iranian leadership been killed yet? Seems like it’s just the 47-49 or so that got taken out in the first wave.
They killed off the top guys, then killed off the guys that replaced them, and now they've killed the guys that replaced the replacements!
So, no, your assessment is not correct.

Yes. I know a county level democrat organizer who genuinely believes that the war is bad because Trump didn't go through heckin' congress to do it, and believes it was done partially to distract from the Epstein files with other parroting the same from his socials. The other arguments Ive seen him make are because Trump is a dictator and is stupid. Ever since October 7th in 2023, the amount of pro-Palestine, anti-Israel browns have been taking over the democrat party as well, so a chunk of sperging comes from people who just hate Israel.

Anyone who is still a leftist in current year is retarded and cannot be reasoned with. Taking out the IRGC + leadership is a net positive for everyone but TDS dictates anything Trump does is bad, so we must let brown people invade and rape us because Trump wants to deport them and kill Americas enemies.

On the greater topic of TDS, the left's stance on Trump has been so corrosive to people that its impossible for them comprehend that Trump could do anything to benefit the country or them because hes is a 'bad person' who is literally Hitler. Thus, its impossible to get them to understand or consider any concepts or policies that Trump proposes. Look on tiktok and its just insane sperging about Trump bad, vote blue. Reeesist!

Leadership democrats will never admit it, but it was all a tactic to stay in power. "If we call Orange man a bad person enough times, we will win" because moral superiority. Democrats just keep hitching themselves to insane ideas and their hatred of white people which destroyed the country that this tactic didn't produce results. The result is the modern day democrat party is filled with delusional, evil people who hate America and its citizens.
