@ImBreckWorsham Politics is a scam. It puts us against one another and takes our monies that we earned supposedly to benefit others.

I’m politically homeless.
War mongers to the left of me.
Pedophiles to the right.
I've spent my entire adult career covering politics.
I always believed I was on side of the good guys.
It hurts......There were none.

A settler on Israeli TV claims the Torah gives them permission to erase anyone who isn't obedient to Israel.
"The land must be emptied of every Arab who refuses to kneel to us."
Not a fringe view. This is mainstream Israeli ideology, the religious justification for Genocide

@GovPritzker Wait I thought you were building the entire time? You're a clown

@terrybythebay So over a 1000 American, since 1979, haven't died by Iranians or Proxies? Actual history proves it happened and you are incorrect. You do you though.

@Stmckay04 At least Trumpers have a motivation to adopt a moronic view. I don’t know why you chose to.
English
I've been curious to learn what rationale the Trump cult would adopt to avoid dealing with his obvious betrayal.
"Mr. Peace President didn't start a new war. We were already at war with Iran."
These people are beyond help.

@terrybythebay @ArmsControlWonk Again we have been at war with Iran since 79. This is ongoing through 7 presidents.

@Stmckay04 @ClishS75922 @MarioNawfal Your politicians are on record. They have even made an Al Qaeda ISIS leader president of Syria. The US is the global leading sponsor of terrorism!

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇬🇧 Iran just proved its missiles can reach far beyond the Middle East
Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK military base sitting 4,000 kilometers away in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Neither hit the base, but the message landed harder than any warhead could.
Tehran has always publicly claimed its missile range tops out at 2,000 km.
This strike attempt doubles that number overnight.
The Khorramshahr-4 that likely carried out the attack can also deliver cluster warheads, the same munitions that have been devastating Israeli cities for three weeks.
Look at the map.
A 4,000 km range from Tehran draws a circle that reaches Paris, London, and most of Europe.
Every NATO capital that thought this war was a distant Middle Eastern problem just realized Iranian missiles could theoretically reach their doorstep.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 How Iran hit the "unhittable" jet The F-35 is invisible to radar. It was never invisible to heat. Iran likely used infrared tracking systems that detect engine exhaust instead of radar signatures. Because these systems emit no energy, the F-35's warning systems never alerted the pilot he was being targeted. The suspected weapon: Iran's 358 missile, a hybrid between a loitering drone and a surface-to-air missile that hunts using optical and infrared sensors, bypassing stealth entirely. Stealth dominates radar. Physics doesn't care. Source: AiTelly

@Stmckay04 @ArmsControlWonk We either sell weapons to a Middle Eastern country or we use weapons on a ME country.
This is why so many people voted for Donald Trump. He promised to end foreign wars - NOT to START NEW ONES.

Bremmer's framing is common but wrong. Instead:
1. Iran was developing an ICBM when
2. Khamenei imposed a 2,000-km range limit.
3. The programs shifted to space launch.
4. Khamenei lifted the restriction in October 2025 after the June attacks.
5. Now he's dead, and here we are.
ian bremmer@ianbremmer
turned out the iranian government was lying about not developing any ballistic missiles with range beyond 2000km. hardly surprising, but justification for removing their ballistic missile capability militarily.

@UnathiAfrika @ClishS75922 @MarioNawfal I didn't blame Iran for ISIS. And ISIS isn't a US creation. It's a Sunni creation to rule under extreme Islamic law.
English
@Stmckay04 @ClishS75922 @MarioNawfal Al Qaeda, ISIS, Lashkar e Taiba, Boko Haram, etc are all US creations, and yet you are accusing Iran? Which is only supporting Liberation Movements?

@Giannoulias @BobMorganIL Why are the rates skyrocketing? If driver drives bad or without insurance, that impacts everyone. But you blame the insurance companies that use past data to help make decisions. Having insurers in the negative is a bad idea. Novel idea, maybe start at making driving more safe.
English
Thanks for your support on this critically important economic & social justice issue @BobMorganIL! Skyrocketing auto insurance premiums are crushing IL families.

Our home and auto insurance rates have exploded in recent years. Illinois will soon be able to beat back these unreasonable rate increases - keeping more 💰in your pocket! @JBPritzker @Giannoulias @repThadeusjones @RobynGabel

@terrybythebay @ArmsControlWonk No the USA has since the 79 Revolution. Read "The Twilight War". Also VP Bush was part of the govt that helped fund Iraq's War against Iran.

@RichardPorterIL @JohnRLottJr @ILGOP @FlipChicagoRed @CookCountyGOP @DonaldJTrumpJr @JoeGruters @RapidResponse47 Exactly. JB is no person of the people. He tried to buy Obama's Senate seat (on tape). He left Illinois Covid lockdown for Florida with b his family. He is part of the machine and has no chance at being POTUS.

Lifestyles of the Rich and Socialist! Here is the satellite view of JB Pritzker’s home away from home, away from Illinois, indeed away from the US, but near his billions in an offshore tax haven. Tucked away in the Bahamas behind high fences, where the really rich and the sketchy go to hide money — this is the rich hypocrisy of @project2029 @elonmusk @POTUS

@terrybythebay @ArmsControlWonk We have been at war with Iran since the 79 revolution. Right or wrong.
English
@ArmsControlWonk The hawks are trying to turn back the clock and argue that Iran had WMDs, and THAT is why we attacked.
Any discussion of Iran's military capabilities is a distraction from the truth no one can avoid: Israel was the only country that felt threatened by Iran.
English
@ArmsControlWonk This is a well-informed thread on how the regime would have been able to develop a longer than 2000-km ballistic missile even while formally adhering to the limit.

Iran attempted to strike Diego Garcia, located 3,800km from its shores, revealing it possesses intermediate-range missiles capable of reaching much, or even all, of Europe. Thread on what we know about Iran's long-range missile capabilities. 1/18
English
@ArmsControlWonk He imposed a restriction but they still built them. Whether they could or not is now irrelevant. They have these weapons & we need to destroy them. The Iranian state is the enemy of their people, the region and the USA.

@Suffragent_ This is hard to understand. Just like LGBTQ+ for Hamas. Neither are for their rights.

“This morning I’ve been at Madina Mosque and joined in prayers with everyone for Eid,” says Green MP Hannah Spencer.
Liberal white women are now actively promoting the most patriarchal, regressive, anti-feminist religion in history.
Astonishing, really. 🤯

@PinonKhaemba @ClishS75922 @MarioNawfal Then what's the truth? Did the west start the Arab Spring? No. That was started by Arabs that wanted freedom from tyrants. Had the West been involved in the Mideast in the past? Sure. But Iran is funding terrorism. That's truth. And ISIS wanted a Sunni Caliphate
English
Those are Western propaganda.
The vast majority of the world knows who orchestrates terrorism activities so that they use counterterrorism operations to perpetuate Imperialism.
Your over reliance on Western propaganda is the reason you don't know the truth.
So you believe Irani's CIA created for example ISIS😁

“Do you condemn Hamas”
