    If they now install a liberal Democratic regime, what will Europe do without all our highly educated, open-minded Iranians?? Seriously. It would be a great loss for is even though I would be overjoyed if they can finally become the powerful western country they were meant to be.

    As much as I would love this to change things for Iranians. It won’t change much, mostlikely. Thinking that killing an almost 90 years old, who could have died any moment now, would cause the whole goverment to collapse is kinda crazy. Yes, there are some people that don’t agree with the goverment, than again there are people who agree with. Throwing bombs on them killing dozens of civilist like Israel and the US did will surely bond them together and make them hate the West and their ideals even more.

    If there is no peace brokered in the next few days, this will probably go on for years and might have the potential to break the US. Specially since the US does not really have anything to justify a long operation or an attack in general.

    I really hope EU leaders stay strong and condemn the attack and do not offer any help to the US and Israel for their war and stop armament shipments to them. Also they should start working on a humanitarian plan on how to deal with the refugees asap. Because if this goes for long there will be a lot of them.

      This is actually terrorism, they are trying to make the leaders scared for their lives, so they will do what is asked of them.

      This shit will only spawn more rage and Trump can never win against guerilla warfare and terrorism. That’s already been proven by previous administrations.

      Oh well, release the Epstein files!
