Isn't war something that needs to go through congress? On top of that, isn't this an international joint operation between two nations that DEFINITELY would need to go through congress? Doesn't matter? Okay.
Constitutionally, war should go through congress.
But we haven't followed the constitution in a very long time, obviously... decades
that's what makes someone like Trump possible, and here we are.

That's one way to liberate them
Iran should retaliate by blowing up the White House, since it’s full of 12-year-olds.
I suppose that's what they meant by "liberation".
The only thing they probably regret is not fucking them before the massacre. They are monsters.
Nice war target eh? A couple of schools. Known to house the military though, right?!

If Netanyahu's involved, you can be sure there'll be dead children.
It's his kink.
How is Iran even supposed to retaliate against a country that regularly guns down its own children?
What are you gonna do? Blow up our school? We gun down everyone in the state before you even reach us, while neighbouring states chant USA USA
Charred-town tactics
that's a fair point. we are crazy as shit. to be fair, the children are also gunning themselves down too they are not exactly unarmed
Not entirely their own free volition.
Primed, used as problem-reaction-solution patsies.
own free volition.
oh dude we don't have that here. that's on a subscription package and we're all too broke for volition
And I wholeheartedly apologise for my small part in that, having worked in advertising [(until Bill Hicks saved me)].
I was "just doing my job", to the best of my abilities, for my client. Maximally manipulating minds... And that was about 25 years ago, before all the datamining cold-reading hypno tech these days. Me and my guy, our meagre team of two, with our non-existent budget, we changed the culture... Now imagine what those with the tech today, and the budget of billions and trillions could do to people... Especially those who are completely oblivious and not actively trying to avoid the manipulations.
They'll deprive you of all wealth, and all free volition, if given a chance.
… whilst having your own justice department spend months deleting testimony that you raped and witnessed the killing of 12 year old girls.
"Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime, a vicious group of very hard, terrible people," Trump said, calling the strikes "a massive and ongoing operation."
The girls were apparently a vicious group of very hard, terrible people so its okay
They were future terrorists amirite
It was very hard to get them to bend the knee.
They were terrible at giving US free stuff.

A primary school, no less
The Iranians' biggest mistake here were to be weak. Ever since 2020 when Trump first attacked them, they failed to achieve any meaningful retaliation, and they have successively failed to achieve any till today.
Seeing that Iran did nothing but a face saving strike when the US took down Solemeni, the Israelis went ahead with striking their consulate in 2024. Seeing yet another weak response, they went for all out strikes on their facilities in 2025. Yet again no retort from Iran. Well, guess what? Now they're rampaging all over the bloody country.
The Americans' assessment of Iran was clear. Iran would not establish any form of deterrence because it clings to the delusions of having a negotiated settlement being ratified, which the Americans themselves never had any intention of signing.
Had the IRGC and Hizbullah replied in a tit-for-tat each time to punish American and Israeli assets in the region for their illegal and insane actions, clear deterrence would have been established and Iran's red lines would have been backed with some credibility. The Americans would not have been so keen to act with such impunity. But again, because of the Ayatollah's futile hope to keep the door open for future negotiations, they've sabotaged their own position as well as their nuclear program. And the result now is that both the IRGC and Hzb have been split apart and are being destroyed one at a time.
Ironically, the Ayatollah's half-hearted policy towards American aggression is what probably cost him his life and those of his immediate family today.
Trump is essentially a shark in the water (no disrespect meant towards sharks). If it smells blood, it will pounce on its prey, no questions asked. But if its prey is willing to struggle, it will move on to another already injured target.
The biggest mistake to make against this kind of adversary is to show weakness. But Iran could not understand that.

Imagine telling the world that the people of Iraq would open their arms to US invaders and the whole thing not taking too long…
Like a pattern emerges…

From the country whose leaders SA little girls, death is probably liberation in their mind.
"Can't be oppressed if you're dead" :/
