War with...Iran?

It's shameful that I have to spell this out for you, please try harder.

I think that was actually about as tryhard as it gets.

I feel sorry for the kids who had nothing to do with any of this but the anger needs to be directed at Iran.

Ah, yes, how dare they put a school where the United States might decide to blow it up. Victim blaming, much?

More re Kurds:
Axios claims Trump talked to Iraqi Kurdish factions the day after the war started trying to get them to support an uprising of the Iranian Kurds; there are already several Kurdish groups organizing in the background, in Iran as well as in Iraq.

No idea if this is true, but it's untrue that Israel still has close ties to Kurds in Syria & Iraq.
Israel did nothing do stop the recent massacres & rapes of Kurds in Syria by armed forces answering to the A-Shara'a gov't (whereas it did stop the massacre of Druz), and hasn't had close ties to Iraqi Kurds since Netanyahu returned to power in 2009.

Did he talk to Mr. Kurd? I understand he's got quite a close relationship with him.

I thought it polled extremely poorly in the lead up. Now it’s, like, half-and-half all of a sudden? Weird.

MAGA was against it when Trump was against it, and now that Trump has done it, they're for it.
