Yeah, not creepy at all.

Whenever he’s confronted about this, he does the whole “Christians are being persecuted! Woe is me!” schtick, even if it doesn’t resemble any Christian teachings most Christians are aware of.

Ironically many of that ilk think most Christians, ie Catholics are heretics at best, non-Christians at worst.

To really keep those woke ideas from infecting minds you have to get them when they are young.

So, the attack on Iran was a negotiation pressure tactic or a hope CoA?

I don’t think Trump cares about the Iranian people. He cares about Iran having a pliant government that he can work with more pragmatically. Regime oppression is simply a convenient rhetorical lever. If the population does overthrow the government, ok, but what’s more important to Trump is that whoever controls Iran recounted nuclear and ballistic missile ambitions, as well as directly or indirectly threatening Israel.

If they do that, they’ll likely be permitted to continue violently repressing their own population.

For Iranians it’s now or never. This is the best chance they’ll get against the regime and if they can get momentum, US will probably back them as a means to an end. But they need to drive it themselves.

That didn't work well last time, and they at least had a plan and a candidate.

They may end up with someone even more hardline now vice more compliant, as they've really done absolutely nothing here other than drop some bombs. Hard power without soft power is just stupid.

We’re a day and a half in. Too early to make such calls yet. Way too many bombs are still falling on Tehran for it to be smart to take to the streets.

I think we’ll see Kurds and Balochs move first, and succesfully eject regime forces from larger parts of what they claim as their territory. It would logically spread from there.

Have to wonder if the Sunni's in Iraq might feel embolden to take a chance and smack some Shia Iraqi's since big Shia brother Iran is getting the shit kicked out of it.

On another note, any idea how Russia will be able to fly in troops/supplies to its remaining bases in Syria if a new regime in Iran denies them entry into Iranian airspace?
