there are a lot of iranian citizens that want the US to attack Iran. They hate their government. But they are too weak to overthrow it. They wanted Trump/Bolton to invade.
we are fortunate to live in our little american bubble arguing over $190 NYE menus
god forbid iran direct a suicide bomber on US soil or something
Hahaha what
you know any expats who managed to escape? iran has a very young, literate population. there are many who don't care about hating the west. they want to integrate with europe.

On the second day of the recent rallies, a former colleague from Iran sent me a short clip of people in a small city in northern Iran chanting, “Death to Khamenei” — meaning Ayatollah Khamenei, the supreme leader.

Can we talk about how fucking compressed this jpeg is that the President used to essentially announce an act of war? I am surprised there aren't Minions in it.

I think the rule is that if we don't use our trillion dollar military every five years on pointless wars, we have to give it to China.

so after watchning to CNN for the last hour, which i haven't done probably since the presidential election, it's pretty clear that:
1) the US just killed Iran's Teddy Roosevelt
2) Iran will retaliate aggressively
3) If you are at a US facility in the middle east it's going to get hot and heavy real soon
4) We need to create a Tahdig thread in Food & Dining
