Response from Iran: "Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it will respond outside the region and deprive the United States and its allies of oil and gas “for many years” if the US crosses “red lines” and attacks civilian facilities."[1] "Iran has closed all diplomatic and indirect channels of communication with the United States, the state-run Tehran Times reported ..." US media does not seem to have…

> Women get acid in the face for dressing wrong, and protesters are killed in the thousands. Gay people are thrown from rooftops or hanged. By your standards, civilization in the United States has been dead for a long time and shows no signs of revival.
Where in the US is: > "women get acid in the face for dressing wrong, and protesters are killed in the thousands. Gay people are thrown from rooftops or hanged." happening? I suspect you know that's an outlandish thing to claim.

Country wide strike would be a nice start.
This is Israel's war and the American democrats have traditionally been very supportive. Last place to expect anything like what you are calling for.
Iran war that would lead to a fucking global economic crisis? Hell no! shut up Bibi!
That's in a gist the difference between the Democrats and the entity who call themselves the Republican party nowadays.

> I don't see this de-escalating soon unless Europe shows more teeth. Can you describe what you have in mind?
Unless Trump perceives a new unexpected threat I don't see him backing down. Russian and Chinese opposition has been accounted for. Europe's more belligerent opposition as opposed toothless diplomatic speeches may give them a reason to pause. Say, cancellations of major contracts where the primary beneficiary would have been the US. Don't know whether it will happen, but am happy to see some European countries to tak…
Third. Even if our gerontocrat had a saner mind, I doubt he would be able to control Israel. Let them alone fighting Iran, with their missile defense depleted leting Iranian missiles rain down everywhere, Bibi would surely nuke Tehran and the Yemen, so I don't even think there's a way out of this.
This is what happens when there's no effective opposition. Where are the dems? Where's the press?
What's truly shocking is that a large part of what got Trump elected in 2024 (and the world in this mess now) was that the GOP cleverly stoked the fears of transgenderism via local-market ad buys during the election. This very play was the reason for much of Trump's gains with various demo's such as black males and hispanics/latinos. So many of these folks were completely triggered by 'grooming' and the ideas that gi…

It's wrong to even frame this as a partisan question. When the leader of a democratic country threatens a nation of 90 million people with genocide, that should be the end of that government on that same day. Where is the entire US population? You hear nothing but crickets, what an utterly passive, terminally ill society.
Are you seriously asking or just using this space as a soapbox? If you are, here's some useful info: Every city in the United States has what could be categorized as a standing army in the form of a police force. They are ready and highly trained to violently stop civil unrest. The police force deploys sophisticated technology and dragnet methodology to track and build profiles on all citizens that attend protests. S…
> A man stands at his home near a synagogue, which was damaged in a strike, in Tehran on Tuesday Bizarre wording from this website. 90% of Jews in Iran left after the Islamic fundamentalists took over.
How is Trump's threat the most extreme in this war? Hell, "a whole civilization might die tonight?". The islamic regime in Iran has explicitly set wiping out Persian civilization as it's goal, more than 50 years ago. And they've worked hard at it. Or how about: Iran's regime threatens to make life in the middle east essentially impossible: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/23/iran-threat-to... Iran's regime…

If many people 'vouch' for it, it will get unflagged.
Unfortunately that's not the way it works. If it's [flagged] [dead] because of user flagging, some users can vouch for it to revive it. But if it's merely [flagged] (with associated penalties keeping it off the front pages) there is no option for vouching to remove the penalty. This one is currently [flagged] with no option for vouching.
