So, like Venezuela, but a lot bloodier and costlier. Great. All for what?

Screenshot of an X post by Jeremy Loffredo saying Trump told CNN’s Dana Bash that liberating the Iranian people is not a goal of the war and that he would accept an undemocratic religious leader if they treated the U.S. and Israel “fairly.” Below is a CNN image of the White House with a graphic saying Trump told CNN he is not worried whether Iran becomes a democracy.

Hopefully it will be far enough out to avoid all the garbage Musk et al. want to send up, otherwise images will be impacted, this appears to be happening already with Hubble.

However, this is most welcome, as there is much out there to be discovered.

@georgetakei Imagine if China murdered a Pope then declared they get to handpick who his successor will be, despite not being Christian. Even as an atheist, I know that this is deeply insulting to a major religion and as the Shah demonstrated there can be no peace under a puppet.

Das ist, als ob Trump in einer Dürre einen Regentanz aufführt, und weil es trotzdem nicht regnet behauptet, es sollte so sein.

„Ich wollte nicht das es regnet, ich wollte nur, dass die Sonne weniger scheint.“

Hört auf, diesen Typen wie einen Erwachsenen zu behandeln!

@georgetakei All for raising the price of oil out of sight, so his oil baron buddies get even richer, enabling them to buy more politicians who will write oil-friendly legislation.

@georgetakei Well, with the Strait of Hormuz closed, American and Venezu…Trumperican oil are sort of the available options, and with price skyrocketing, they can fill as much or as little of supply deficit as they want, depending on desired profit margins… so there is that.

@georgetakei

That a new Iranian leader treat the US and Israel "fairly" means that they will kowtow to Trump.

It's an imperial demand the Brits and French would find familiar. The US and Britain made similar demands in 1953, which is one reason the people of Iran so dislike the US.

War with Iran only to distract people from the Epstein Files, get cheap oil, and destroy Iran’s infrastructure in the process.

@georgetakei I know it was never really better, but I miss the days when politicians actually took the time to craft nice sounding fabrications about the actions of our country.

Now they feel we are too beneath them to even bother lying to us.

Hiti

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
