bro posting fake news now lmao.
Nothing fake about Trump wanting to get rid of Puerto Rico. He's already said straight out that he doesn't want to give them statehood. There HAVE been discussions circulated in political media about Trump and Congress being encouraged by some groups to consider independence for Puerto Rico. The conservatives DO think that you're a floating pile of garbage.

If he does send you on your independent way, will THAT be the straw that breaks the camels back? Maybe it would be for the best, because from my point of view, the US treats Puerto Rico like shit.

US reportedly mulling options regarding striking Iran

Trump also claims Iran reached out to him to negotiate

Meanwhile, reports of thousands of deaths and continued blocking of starlink interfering with dissemination of videos/images from inside Iran

Apparently yesterday some guy drove a U-Haul truck into a bunch of pro regime change protesters in LA. His U-Haul had a bunch of pro-current regime writing. I have no idea why that guy stopped, but that could have ended way worse, if the guy stopped as bait, because he wanted to detonate a bomb from the U-Haul.

The guy who drove the truck was anti regime

And he drove into other anti regime people

The truck driver was most likely a part of MEK, a socialist dissident group

How do I know this?
His sign in English read:
No shah
No regime
US don't repeat 1953
No mullah

The Farsi could not all be read, but one part of it said "the country belongs to the people"

And I don't think he wanted to hurt anyone, it seems like he only wanted to push his own marxist views - but got upset when people started to tear off his signs

If he wanted to kill people he could have easily, he showed restraint

Interesting interview

Pro-regime sock puppets claiming 6 year old footage is a "pro regime" protest



Edit: also, to give you an idea about the size of Iran

it's about the size of Alaska. Greenland is about 25% larger than both.

The US has suspended talks with Iran, some US bases have seen evacuation of members of staff.

Protests ongoing, reports of death squads shooting people who leave home. Estimates of deaths from 2000-12,000 people. Nearly 20,000 have been arrested. Some executions are slated for today. Rioters deemed "enemies of God" will be executed.

It remains unclear how the US will retaliate given prior assurances. Gulf states have reportedly urged for calm and diplomatic solutions given the possibility of further contributing to regional instability.

The US and Israel have launched a large scale combined bombing campaign against the Islamic Republic

A brief word from Donald Trump:
Finally to the great proud people of Iran I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand.
Stay sheltered, don't leave your homes, its very dangerous outside, bombs will be dropping everywhere - when we are finished, take over your government.
It will be yours to take.
This will be, probably, your only chance for generations.
For many years you've asked for America's help but you never got it.
No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight.
Now you have a president who is giving you what you want, so let's see how you respond.
America is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force.
Now is the time to seize control of your destiny and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach.
This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass.
May God bless the brave men and women of America's armed forces, may God bless the United States of America. May God bless you all.

Obviously this happened because the pedo needed another distraction from the pedo files and also he's fishing for an excuse to activate emergency powers.

It's just like Venezuela. On the surface, it's a good thing they went in to remove the dictator. Then they go and steal the oil and openly brag about how much money they've made from the theft.

I'm always for an autocratic government being overthrown and removing religious zealotry from decision making. We've all seen the pictures of Iran in the 70's, and it looked amazing.

But Israel won't allow Iran to EVER form a government once the Ayatollah is ousted. They want a failed state for them to create a greater Israel state. They've been very open about that. Of course, Trump is all for it because Israel has blackmail material on him.
