Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Himdsight my foot, I knew Israel was going to try to kill the Supreme leader, but they didn't? Why the fuck not? The Martyr thing only works if his son didn't get hit too along with all those other military higher ups.

I knew Israel was going to try to kill the Supreme leader

The only reason to do so is to make sure Iran doesn't surrender, and to ensure that Iranian people back IRGC retaliation. If you knew this, then you know that Israel are just subhuman POS, that made this their objective. Sometimes Zionazi axis pretends that it would like a new liberal loving Iran instead of an angry Iran.

First of all yes the Israelis are clearly Nazi, they forced the Palestinians into ghettos and Levy brutal Collective punishments against them, it's not subtle. So yes on that.

As to their purpose in this war, this operation Epstein's Fury where they are using the blackmail they have on American politicians and the president of them fucking children with Epstein to force this war, which is exactly what is going on here, I believe it is simply as a foil, for domestic political reasons, 80% supports going after the boogeyman that is Iran, even after peace they will reach across the border whenever they need a domestic political boost. This is a Forever War.
