    I genuinely doubt a democrat would have gone through with this.

    Iran has a been a neocon obsession for decades, and as big of a neocon/lib Harris is, I doubt she would have had the political capital to go through with an attack on iran

    If a dem were in charge, the pentagon and CIA would have what they do before, arm opposing factions in a color revolution and have them bomb the entire place

      Trump doesn’t even have the political capital for this. There’s a propaganda push right now obviously, but even this week a Fox anchor was expressing doubt’s before the bombs fell.

      Even today the story is: “we have the upper hand, they have taken hundreds of casualties”

      “Almost all of those were from an all-girls elementary school”

      Just keep spreading that al Jazeera map with minimal context.


      Yesterday: “the people will overthrow their government now that we assassinated top leadership”

      Next week when that doesn’t happen: ???

      I think they could have gotten the propaganda backing to do so if they focused on it, which the Dems probably would. The Republicans barely seem to care about that anymore, they know the people will eat up whatever they say.
