UPDATE: Reports now say that over 80 school children between the age of 7 and 12 were killed in Minab. How is the Epstein Regime going to survive this politically? How is the Senate (Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, etc.) going to survive this politically?

  No need to worry. They have extensively stress-tested the American public over the past few years and the conclusion is clear: Americans are never going to revolt no matter what you do to them.

  He could drop a bomb on a school in Ohio, and still enjoy 40% support. There is no red line for these people.

    You are mistaken. Just don't assume that diminishing support for Trump will result in increased support for the democratic party. I find both equally disgusting.
    - sriram_malhar 7mo ago
      Equally? Sigh. All the people who huffed about Kamala and Trump being sides of the same coin have brought us to this stage. You think Kamala's admin would be anywhere as venal, corrupt, blatantly unlawful as this?
      - braincat31415 7mo ago
        Yes, and absolutely, yes. I am old enough to realize that these are the sides of the same coin. They have different but overlapping sets of masters, but the end result is always the same. I don't see the point of losing time at the polls. Marx was right.

And the tens of thousands of Iranians murdered for protesting? Did you care about them?
- reliabilityguy 7mo ago
  Did Israelis kill them? No. So, why would anyone care? Did you see non-stop coverage about it from NYT, WaPo or others? No.

Easy, it was Israel that probably did it and it's been shown time and time again that they can do this without political fallout under the guise that the target was a hiding spot for the military assets of Iran (or Hamas in the case of Palestine bombing).

    Those videos of Israeli soldiers raping prisoners, beating prisoners, spitting on or beating people just walking in the streets. Yeah, so much propaganda. We can see it with our own eyes.

As an Iranian-American that's familiar with the regime, I would take that with a grain of salt. I saw this being reported from the Iranian regime themselves and they know how to manipulate optics and media really well. It's possible, but needs verification. I would also not put it past Iran to build their military infrastructure around schools intentionally (similar to Hamas with hospitals) in the hopes that it has this exact effect. Of course that does nothing to take away from the tragedy of innocent people dying and I'm not trying to negate that in any way, just something to point out.

    The idea is that criticism of Iran from an Iranian-American would have more merit. However, we have no way to confirm the validity of this claim. It could very well be someone pretending to be an Iranian-American.

    In my experience, I find people who are "former ABC-ian" to actually be very heavily biased, if not outright lying about ABC. Mentally, I'd say it's worth less weight than someone with no information. They left because they were unhappy with things. The former British folks are enraged about human rights abuses and societal collapse in Britain. The ex-Christians will rarely praise the Bible. Not that there's zero weight, it's still a perspective to consider. But it has to be fact checked thoroughly.

Iran regime launched a missile during their last ditch attack on every country in the middle east and it fell on a school.
consumer451 7mo ago
Why would you believe this statement any more than a statement from Putin, Likud, Trump... or anyone like that? The Iranian regime recently admitted to shooting thousands of their own people who were protesting. Without some confirmation, everything is propaganda, isn't it? Jeez... there is no greater force that that to have one's bias confirmed, is there. That is going to destroy us.

  "Iranian prosecutor says..." deserves minimal trust. That said, if the US/Israel didn't do it, we'd have heard a denial by now. Perhaps the target was a nearby military site. Placing military sites next to schools sounds like a tactic from the Hamas Resistance handbook.

    There are plenty of schools on US bases in and outside of America. I live by one right now. I was curious if America's largest base, Fort Bragg, has any elementary schools in it. I found at least 1. https://poolees.dodea.edu/school-about-us https://poolees.dodea.edu/school-about-us

      Fair point, I take back my last remark about placement of schools near bases. God I wish the Iranian regime would just surrender, it would be so much better for everyone. Look at Hamas, they refused to surrender and the result was colossal death and misery.
