alt Hacker NewsDude thinks this a game.
Imagine that your country - whose rulers you do not agree with - is attacked by two states unprovoked in the middle of negotiations, not once, but twice in a single year.
And how do they initiate this attack? They strike a number of targets, one of which the compound your head of state is living in along with members of his family, including a child (his granddaughter). Mind you, your head of state was not in a bunker, but was an 87 year old man living his life as normal. After executing this amazing operation, these two states then call on your people to rise up and overthrow the government.
What would you do?

Also, how do you think the average non-wealthy Iranian, who because of US sanctions has been eating meat about once a month for many years and undergoing other privations thinks about the US government?
I strongly oppose the Iran war. But saying that any action against Iran is “unprovoked” is utter bullshit. Iran just gave Hezbollah $200 million while Iranians are in dire straits: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/lebanons-hezbollah.... Iran has been doing this shit for decades. Their commitment to “fucking around” is truly epic.
Saddam, Maduro, Gaddafi, Assad—all those guys were mostly terrorizing their own people and shouldn’t have been taken out. I don’t think Khamenei should’ve been taken out either, but boy did he deserve it more than any of the others.
