74? That seems like an example is being made.

Trump caused this! The Islamic regime was about to fall on it's own by the Iranian people. But now because of this war, those suckers are stronger than ever and even more radical.

Yep. All of the sudden, the "great satan" stuff seems a lot more credible, and anybody who was calling for detente with the West looks really foolish.

On the other hand, there's a lot of fresh faces at the top of the hierarchy now. Maybe gradual reform will be more possible, whenever this chapter of history ends. For now, 74 lashes for the celebrity, so nobody forgets who makes the rules.

74000 lashes for that government

This is not acceptable. As I started muttering, I was asked if the US is actually really much better. It might not be so terrible yet, but overwhelming the same direction

And Trump made this mob the underdog with his war on the Epstein files. What joke!

Well, Iran had a democratic government before the U.S. and U.K. orchestrated the coup in 1953 that installed the Shah. The government was led by Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, who was democratically elected and nationalized the oil industry.

Good thing we’re about to give them a half a trillion dollars. Goddamn the entire world sucks.

Who is "we"? Fuck nationalism. That's the heart of the problem.

I don't really mind when a genocidal empire pays for its crimes.
