The president of peace btw. I'm baffled at the lack of calls to boycott the Fifa world cup in US. And at the double standards applied to Russians and Israelis in their wars of aggression. I guess Israel can play the "October 7th" card at least which was an insane horror.

6 million kids? whole palestine has less total population, gaza has less than 1 million total population, no?

Previous conflicts between the involved parties were intense but also defined by constrain on both sides. Israel did not mass bomb civilians, and Iranian agents did not commit sabotage against infrastructure on US soil. I hope this pattern persists. A hand full of determined Ukrainians managed to blow up North Stream, some people plunged part of Berlin into darkness for 2 weeks. Power and data cables as well as pipel…

Nothing went dark for weeks as a German you should know that.

Maybe not weeks, but there was extensive damage and parts of Berlin went dark https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/07/europe/berlin-power-outag...

I have to wonder how much of this is driven by Israel accounting for the risk of less favorable US relationship in the future. Pre-emptive violence; not even justified with a narrative of escalating threat. Bleak for anybody who knows their history.

Literally this week, for the first time ever, a majority of Americans polled favored Palestine over Israel.

To be clear, I'm not trying to suggest that's why we're bombing Iran today. Just pointing out a data point supporting your hypothesis.

Not sure how you can say that considering that he did it without Congressional approval? It’s literally all him.

I think the latter, the US is explicitly attempting a regime change operation so Iran has no reason for restraint. The US is aware of this, that's why they evacuated all their bases etc within range

> explicitly attempting a regime change operation

I missed that press release. Where is it?

Well hopefully this is short, minimally lethal, and leads to regime change for all those involved.

>leads to regime change for all those involved Including for the U.S. and Israel?

Pretty sure he chose his words carefully.
