Iran needs to be in the past tense. The Mad Mullahs are the primary sponsors of worldwide Islamic madness and need to be removed, assume room temperature, and their sick ideology needs to be fought. They want an apocalypse somehow thinking that this will make the world better? Israel and the US are the only forces able and willing to destroy the lunacy coming out of Tehran. The Western supporters of this insanity are doing so because they want the free world to be destroyed forgetting that the Islamic crazies will come after THEM. I've said for years that these idiot lefties want to speak like communists on the barricades while they want to live like free-market capitalists and are the "useful idiots" of which Lenin and others spoke.

Like I told some people in the hotel in Jerusalem when the war started, YES! Khamenei was a menace and needed to be taken out a long time ago. The timing was right according to the holiday to be celebrated in Israel, Purim. Even many of the Iranians were celebrating. Now who runs the country? Hopefully, someone with cooled down rhetoric and who seriously wants to bring Iran out of the hell hole they have been in and will forgo any ambitions to make a nuclear warhead.

As long as Iran is under the grip of a theocracy nothing will really change. I've said before on this forum that the US should airdrop AKs and ammunition all over the country and let these oppressed people take out the Mad Mullahs and the IRGC. There are about 93 million Iranian citizens and the IRGC can't fight the whole armed country.

Let’s stipulate for the sake of argument that the US hit the Iranian school. Still, no one has made the claim that killing the girls was the objective. Instead, it was a targeting error, perhaps careless at worst. Yet while the media and many commentators seem consumed by it, they ignore the fact that Iran sends its missiles into Israel without the slightest concern about whether they hit military targets or civilians. The failure to distinguish between negligence and the intentional infliction of harm to innocents is a moral abomination and drains the perpetrators of all credibility.

The infantilism of the student activists of the Left is well known to the Nazis and The Islamists. These disciplined and absolutely malicious Ideologies feed the talking points of our enemies to this student body of amplifiers here in The Liberal West, who are both loud and stupid, and take delight in betraying their betters ‘inside the gate’, that is to say, from our own territory which causes confusion and sows dissent to demoralise us and thus does the enemy’s work. This is Very simply understood. Lucy, I really like your writing style which is dry and lucid! Keep supplying this site with your insight. Good work.

It seems unlikely that these narratives could have penetrated our society as quickly if they hadn’t served to amplify a preferred narrative. It’s not the Iranians caused Americans to hate this administration and Israel, and defend Muslim murderers as much as parts of Western society wanted to do that hate and seized uncritically upon the chance.

The West doesn’t grasp that the Islamic world often LIES. We are not used to that level of constant deceit (although the Democrats come close in scope) and it’s too easy to assume their veracity. But their constant stream of falsehoods is getting old and those paying attention are at least starting to figure it out.

“ it is undoubtedly true that the United States played a key role in in the 1953 coup that toppled Iran’s democratically (sic)Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh.” But some serious commentator dispute all of these characterizations.

So , in the course of commenting on misinformation, Noah Otte shows himself to be a victim of the very same broad assertions and possible mischaracterizations that he decrys.
