Imagine purple retardera and left-wing in general cheering for the islamist regime

Cheering on free rooftop bungee jumpings without the chord.

 

[NT80]

But will that regime still be in intact after this is over and what's it going to take to get rid of them?

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

I heard that same is true for UK and you have to convert to Islam to survive. They are dominating prisons.

Anyway, looks like NY is cooked as well

UK Islam prison population is 18% and 27% for London.

Muslims are allegedly 6.5% of the pop that's not including the estimated 1 million illegals.

6.5 pop disproportionately represent a huge prison population . And yeah they now control the prisons.

If Iran is either unable to score a single hit with a missile or drone for a week or unable to hit a ship for a week you can say their capabilities are sufficiently degraded.

You make a random metric on the spot to try and dismiss Iran military is degraded, if some bumfuck riding an horse shoots a rocket then their military "isn't sufficently degraded". Perhaps you wanted Trump to drop a nuke on them to achieve total degradation.

 

[jason10mm]

Where are the Iranian freedom fighters in all this? Were the riots just a mirage? You'd think the common folk would take the opportunity to force regime change especially since they now have the big guns backing them. If they do not capitalize on this chance they are cowards.

I think we in the West, epsecially America, have fallen for our own mythology of heroic George Washington and his band of merry founding fathers leading a grassroots rebellion against tyranny, but forget that England was a loooooong way from America and we had some pretty big help from some of Englands deadliest enemies. So the notion that local Iranian common folk will rise up with just a little nudging by America is perhaps a bit optimistic.

Sadly, I suspect we will write some new treaties, walk away cheering success, Iran will take a few years to consolidate, kill a few million malcontents, and return to their old ways, and we will be back at it by 2030.

Posting this when we have seen the FBI unrionically covering up and reacting documents laying out the communications and facilitation of a large pedophile ring made up of powerful people and leaders in both the US; UK, Middle East and other nations is pretty quaint.

Still not a single person has even been arrested in the US by the way.

We have never been in "good times". That was just the image the rich and powerful were selling you.

Well one has lots of victims and multiple group of men that was covered up due to political correctness.

The other is just a figment of your imagination based on guilt by association.

Distance and speed of communication played towards our advantage against the British. We were able to slow walk our way towards a unified front across the colonies while waiting for the King to respond to our grievances. It is quite the opposite for the Iranian people. They have no advantage against the regime and don't appear to have any "formal" resistance structure or link to the West. At least none left after the mass killings earlier this year.

 

[P:axMagellanic]

Going to call it now - DJT fucked up, miscalculated the Iranian population like Putin did the Ukrainian population, but unlike Putin who collected 10T worth of minerals, he will be left with a dick in his hand.

There was probably a one week window where this could have been pulled off and they blew it.

Cuba will provide some fire cover for the biggest taco feast ever, so folding the Iran adventure will coincide with a "deal" with them. Very real possibility of this fucking their midterms.

That's my prediction at this point from my discussions with finance bros.

It does seem very naive thinking about it.

You can utterly loathe a vile and repressive government and still hate seeing your country get flattened by foreign bombs.

You think those regions were stable before Europeans conquered them? They were constantly fighting themselves and invading Europe for ~1000 years.

USA had problems with Muslims since country appeared on map, first USA war was with Barbary pirates

The ghost of Anthony Eden is crying out at that gentlemans post.

Britain and France were literally forced out of the region by Eisenhower and threatened with economic annihilation.

I always wondered how SovCits and Flatearthers came to be.

Now I know.

The guy who was implicated in his own files is dead. His supplier/girlfriend is in prison.

99% of the Epstein File Smooth brains can't even link to a crime or explain what crime took place.

majority of them don't even understand the difference between evidence and proof.

OR this investigation was shut down because half of the people in current administration are in those files. Democrats also never wanted to pursue it further because their people were in it as well, and of course all those that pump money for their political campaigns (for both parties) can't be touched.

Are you this naive to believe anything this administration have to say about Epstein files and people connected to him? They lied multiple times about those files before they released them.

 

[rorepmE]

Why? because I question the low standards of the mob?

 

[Clear]

We have never been in "good times". That was just the image the rich and powerful were selling you.

Comparatively, over say the last 200 years, they absolutely have been the softest, easiest of times.

There is no room for argument on this if you know anything about history.

 

[Lord Panda]

If true then it's quite a feat to have escaped Iran given the level of surveillance in the region.

 

[winjer]

Russia and Iran are very close. That makes it lot easier to smuggle weapons and people from one country to another.

See what I mean? Guilt by Association. There's 6 million pages of documents. I somehow doubt you or any of the Epstein mob read them in their entirety.
Most people can't even read a short young adult novel these days let a lone mountains of the most boring everyday correspondence that goes nowhere.

I focused on and read about certain individuals and compare them to the online narratives and conclusions of what people were saying.

Almost everyone "connected" to him involved them sticking their hand out for money/donations/funding and or favors as he was trying to buy his way back after his first conviction.
Purely transactional mutual opportunism. Just rich people networks doing what they have been doing for ages.

But most of the nitwits in the mob think being socially adjacent to a predator is the same as being complicit in their crimes.
Can you accuse them of being socially amoral? Sure.
But being amoral is not a crime.

Like Bannon, everything I read in the files about him points to him just being completely amoral and wanting Epstein's money for his own political gain.

Epstein saw him as someone who could fix his PR problem after his first conviction and not a target for blackmail leverage.
Zero evidence that he dipped his hand into the cookie jar or an attempt to honeypot him.

So my conclusion is

 

[Toons]

No, because you DONT question the standards of the powerful. And scoff at those who do.

 

[Toons]

There is no room for argument on this if you know anything about history.

Every powerful nation of a few at the top and their far less well off subjects have claimed good times. Usually, their preview was limited. Sometimes, it was straight up obsfuscated by design.

Because 'good times' have always only ever existed for some people, while other people writhed in suffering. Sometimes at the hands of those comfortable people, sometimes not.

Those unnamed children beign flown on private jets into an island, no one knowing their name, no one knowing their location but those who wished to do them harm, certainly weren't experienced soft and easy times. Those rich and powerful people gleefully taking part had it pretty easy though.

And they still do. They're still under protection. You can freely post a tweet about some random Arabic rapist, we know his name, orign, everything about him. but billionaire pedophile names get blacked out and hidden and many will remain so.

Open your eyes.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

This is my concern. There was never any doubt the US could take their military capability out, but without boots on the ground, the thugs and co can just hide it out.

I'm hearing boots will be on the ground, but there is no time table or anything substantial. It is probably going to be something very focused if anything. If they don't do boots, then it's just going to be air strikes until the place resembles Gaza, I guess. (My bad at work and for some reason my phone killed off a part of my post)

So my conclusion is

I went on a recent dive and a lot of the people that were corresponding with Epstein were academics. For think tank events, intellectual "work shops" on the island and lavish dinners to discuss politics, funding research and straight up partying.
Politicians, Intellectuals, movie stars, economists, lawyers, athletes… the list goes on.

I wish this turned into a wider conflict against Islam. The world needs a reset and it would also present an opportunity for us to deal with our traitor enemies at home.

It took years for Israel to bomb the Gaza strip into rubble. Its literally a tiny spec of land when compared to Iran.

 

[EviLore]

Seems the implication is that we're not going to ask more of the protesters until the regime is incapacitated.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

This post verges very close to being straight up about politics so if it gets deleted, I won't be sad or anything

But it's important to realize that with the entire Western media screaming that no one wants this war and it's bad or whatever, that very quietly, a majority of Americans do in fact support this war and the media is increasingly a tiny but loud minority in the US. They do not serve the public interest. To serve the public interest would be to back this war and the President's actions up to this point because it turns out the public do in fact support this war

 

[MisterFalcon]

Iranians have every right to be skeptical to trust the US government's intentions. At the moment they have no real plan and just get their cues from Israel (who want a destitute Iran that can never threaten them), Saudi Arabia (like Israel but not as much) and Russia (who want a powerful Iran) so you never know what will be the policy.
The Kurds for sure have been burned now so many times.

One interesting thing I saw pop up somewhere was the small port town of Jask on the coast past the Hormuz Strait as a possible place the Marines could land. It's isolated, is supposed to be a second big oil terminal and is also in the Baloch region of Iran where an independence movement has been active.
This would be far more feasible than going to Kharg island.

 

[pepeno]

"Hey guys, many milions may lose their lives (iraq) but that's the sacrifice I am willing to take"

As much as dictatorships etc. go the change always has to come from within. You build up coalition of people who want the change and then you make it, mostly bloodless, with economy intact, with no civil war and so on.

 

[EviLore]

 

[pepeno]

Also the goal of this war isn't stable Iran but civil war in iran where Iran will decompose into warrying states ala Syria as there are for example huge amount of kurds living there. Secondly once Iran will decompose automatically Israel can go for their "greater israel" campaign conquering parts of neighbours and add them to israel.

Like always it is never about people.

Trump briefed that Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is probably gay — and president has priceless reaction

Exclusive | Trump briefed that Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is probably gay — and president has priceless reaction

The shocking claim was described to The Post by two intelligence community officials and a third person close to the Trump administration.

nypost.com

WASHINGTON — President Trump was stunned to learn last week that US intelligence indicates new Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei may be gay — and that his father, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, feared his suitability to rule the Islamic Republic for that reason, The Post can reveal.

Trump couldn't contain his surprise and laughed aloud when he was briefed on the intel, according to sources.

Others in the room also found it "hilarious" and joined the president's reaction, while one senior intelligence official "has not stopped laughing about it for days," said one person familiar with the briefing.

The shocking claim was described to The Post by two intelligence community officials and a third person close to the White House.

All three sources say the implausible-sounding allegation is viewed as credible by US spy agencies, rather than false information intended to undermine Khamenei, 56, who was selected to replace his dead father as supreme leader on March 8.

Two of the sources said the intelligence indicated that Mojtaba, who earned the nickname "the power behind the robes" while serving as his aging dad's gatekeeper, has had a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor.

The third source said the intelligence indicated the affair was with a person who formerly worked for the Khamenei family.

Mojtaba, who is believed to have been wounded in the same Feb. 28 airstrike that killed his father and other members of his family, has made "aggressive" sexual overtures to men caring for him, possibly while under the influence of heavy medication, one of The Post's sources said.

US spy agencies do not have photographic evidence of Mojtaba Khamenei's alleged sexual attraction to men, but the sources insisted the tip is solid, with one saying it was "derived from one of the most protected sources that the government has."

"The fact that this was elevated to the highest of high levels shows you there's some confidence in this," added a second source.

Mojtaba's purported sexual orientation had been whispered about inside Iran since at least the May 2024 helicopter crash that killed then-president Ebrahim Raisi, Ali Khamenei's presumed favorite to be the next supreme leader, sources said.

Within the US government, "it's been a pretty closely held piece of information," one insider said.

Trump previously dismissed Mojtaba Khamenei as a "lightweight" and an "unacceptable" choice to run Iran. The new supreme leader is widely considered to be someone who would not bend to US demands to abandon the nuclear and ballistic missile programs that prompted Operation Epic Fury.

Some elements of Mojtaba Khamenei's sex life have been reported before and may lend credence to the allegation.

A classified US diplomatic cable from 2008, published by WikiLeaks, described Mojtaba being treated in the UK for impotence, though that report did not identify what may have caused the condition.

The State Department file says that Mojtaba married "relatively late in life"– around age 30 — "reportedly due to an impotency problem treated and eventually resolved during three extended visits to the UK, at Wellington and Cromwell Hospitals, London."

"Mojtaba was expected by his family to produce children quickly, but needed a fourth visit to the UK for medical treatment; after a stay of two months, his wife became pregnant," the leaked file said.

Mojtaba's wife, Zahra, and teenage son, Mohammad Bagher, reportedly died in the airstrike that killed his father. The new supreme leader has another son and a daughter.

The allegation of homosexuality was alluded to in a CBS News report on Sunday that said the elder Khamanei, who had ruled Iran since 1989, preferred a different successor in part because of unspecified "issues" in Mojtaba's "personal life."

"His father and others suspected he was gay and that was something that people were spreading to try to stop his ascension," one of The Post's sources explained.

Homosexual conduct is illegal in Iran, though the government does allow surgical sex change operations, which some gay men reportedly are pressured into undergoing to avoid criminal penalties.

Sodomy is a capital offense in the nation of 93 million people, with some gay Iranians infamously hanged from construction cranes as a warning to others.

"In Iran, we don't have homosexuals," former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is believed to be an ally of the younger Khamenei, claimed in 2007.

One of The Post's sources said that although it's generally frowned upon to out people against their will, there's a clear case of hypocrisy to justify doing so against Mojtaba.

"If there was ever a time where it was OK to out somebody, it would be when it's a leader of a repressive Islamic theocracy that hangs gay people by cranes," this person said.

Mojtaba Khamenei's current whereabouts and the status of his recovery from the Feb. 28 airstrikes remain murky.

The White House did not provide comment for this article.

Probably. That's why they are attacking militia and others so that when people go outside, most if not all military forces are destroyed.
