During the Iran-Iraq War, the US knew that Iraq was using chemical weapons against Iran almost as soon as it started doing so.
However, not only did the Reagan administration do nothing to stop it, but it actually provided diplomatic cover for Iraq at the UN so it wouldn't be condemned after Iran complained.
Later in the war, the US even provided targeting information to Iraq, despite knowing full well that it would use them to attack Iranian troops with prohibited chemical weapons.
Iranians are not supposed to complain about that though, whereas Americans will continue to talk about the hostage crisis until the heat death of the universe.

As you know, the '47 year war on America'=1,000 US Soldiers killed in 1983/the 2000s, & dozens of Americans killed in Israel in the Second Intifada or on 7 Oct. (Who weren't targeted because they were American.) (Giving Saddam intel/operational support and even limited arms in the Iran-Iraq War, and invading a neighboring country in 2003 while constantly threatening to invade Iran, weren't provocations on our part.)

There is no chance Trump will be removed from office.
That requires two-thirds of the Senate to do. There probably won’t even be a bare majority to vote for it as the GOP should keep the Senate.

Good chance Trump will be impeached and removed for office. I hope listening to Mark Levin and Laura Loomer was worth it.

"Please tell me more about my dad, Hagrid!" "Of course, Harry. He was friendly, kind. The best Quidditch player ever. Great at magic." "That's so cool!" "I should also mention he and his friends really hated this one student. But never mind that. James was a... grand wizard."

We live in a constant cycle where Trump screws everything up all week and then returns to thunderous applause at Mar-a-Lago in order to get recharged to do it all over again the following week

@bonchieredstate You made no argument because there is none to make. The incentive structure he outlined is what it is.
English
Of course he does.
It’s incredible to me that this guy, who lives in Brazil and supported Lula, and who filmed himself licking another man’s toes for a humiliation fetish, is treated as a serious voice by so many on the right.
Nothing matters.

@ThomBrady5 @sethjlevy Strategic disaster so far, but hey you blew up some things good job.

So far from US strategic perspective: - destroyed its basing in the region - shown allies they can’t protect them - lost control of the strait of Hormuz - risks the petrodollar - destroyed the energy portfolio of its global allies, from Europe to East Asia This is a disaster.

Iran has no navy, no air force, no air defenses, their top 50 leaders are dead, and an Iranian faction gave Trump 10 oil tankers as a gift. But a lot of (highly-respected) right-wing posters are declaring defeat for America. This is starting to get delusional.

“Many of the 13 military bases in the region used by American troops are all but uninhabitable, with the ones in Kuwait, which is next door to Iran, suffering perhaps the most damage.” -NYT just now First MSM admission I’ve seen of this fact

The irony is that Twitter used to have famous people, up to and including the president of the United States, putting valuable content on here for absolutely nothing.
Then they changed it to give you a pittance for every view, and wonder why it’s being crowded out by engagement farming, low-quality accounts who post on whatever with no connection to the countries or topics being discussed.

For a random person signing up in France: Their very first timeline will likely include Trump ragebait and Silicon Valley chatter. We can’t continue to incentivize the same kind of posts forever—and not try to expand our inventory. The network will never grow. It will proceed to be a monoculture with a handful of countries rationally spamming the replies of those posts to get $30/week.

The fact that Israel and the US are killing civilian officials is already crazy enough, but I don't think people realize how utterly insane it is that Israel even put Aragchi, a diplomat, on a kill list. Even Attila and Gengis Khan respected the immunity of diplomats.
Dominic Waghorn@DominicWaghorn
Credible reporting that the Israelis literally wanted noone left to talk to in Tehran even its foreign minister and had to be told to take him off the kill list. reuters.com/world/asia-pac…

We can’t leave the war in Iran because they now control shipping in the strait
A situation manufactured by our involvement in the war itself
This is why you never give an inch to the neocons, this situation was manufactured on purpose to trap us in a war and it’s working

Ben Shapiro says the US should prepare for an enduring conflict with Iran, where American boys die to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which was already open prior to the US fighting a war for Israel against Iran. Follow: @AFpost
