300% Maybe, just maybe, we should be investing in DIPLOMACY instead. Biden has the right idea here- hey, yeah, Israel did totally bomb an embassy and kill a bunch of Iranian big-wigs, maybe they OUGHT NOT to have done that. I'm willing to let it go.

Not to mention, a big reason why Iran is the way it is, is because we made it that way. We actually helped destroy their democracy. This isn't the time to escalate, it's the time to give Ukraine whatever it needs, fill up the Iron Dome, and work on easing tensions- not inflaming them.

So true about our responsibility for why Iran is the way it is. I sure wish Bill would acknowledge that.

I can't believe, unless I missed it, that he didn't even mention WHY Iran did it.

... Wow. I'd say that honestly borders on misinformation.

Certainly cherry-picking . . .

That’s impossible when republicans constantly stir shit up. Iran was on its best behavior when jcpoa was being negotiated and signed. Then Trump walked away from the agreement and everything goes to shit.

It’s always hard to rate all the bad shit he has done. Just so many things. Probably a few in the top 10 that I already forgot about

Definitely, it's literally impossible to keep it all in your head at once. I just read a WaPo story about how regular people are putting their life savings in Trump stocks and it's... REALLY sad. I can't even find it funny, cause I can see those people finding violence a lot easier after another election loss if they lose their retirement savings.
