Nothing says liberation like mass civilian causalities and ripping apart a country’s infrastructure!

If he’s even alive at all, he is more than likely,
Comfortably Numb chasing thinly veiled Virgins through mountainsides and poppy fields.

[OKSooner]

Casualties. :)

LOL, strange talk for someone who is so passionately in support of Russia launching the bloodiest European war since WWII.

1,800 is less than the number of abortions per day in the U.S. since Roe v Wade.

65 million / 53 years / 365 days per year = 3,360 per day.

Do you want Iran to have a nuke?

Clever comment if it were posted by a 3rd grader.

[Red6]

I think he’s pointing out the obvious contradiction.

Here we invade or bomb yet another country, for our “national security,” but Russia has no right to do something about what happens at their border.

[ansel12]

From the little I saw of him, he'll do fine as long as they keep him out of the rain.

[wildcard_redneck]

Kazan likes his mullahs.

[Fireone]

Reports are that he’s in a coma, and lost a leg, other than that, he’s in good spirits.

[ansel12]

LOL, complete opposites, Russia/Iran are doing evil and we and Israel are doing good.

Nothing screams "Death to America!" like your daily pro-muzzard posts.

It's good to hear that they have actual elections in Iran. Maybe the people of Iran will finally stop protesting in the streets and the IRGC can stop wasting ammunition on them. /s

I think that was from the Day One strike.

[Eli Kopter]

BS. He’s dead Jim. Proof of life, or else, they can shut the hell up.

[Eli Kopter]

Hanging on a wall would be a good place for him.

Yes, say that too.

He is passed on! This supreme leader is no more! He has ceased to be! He’s expired and gone to meet his maker! He is stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed him to the perch he’d be pushing up daisies! His metabolic processes are now ‘history! ‘He is off the twig! He has kicked the bucket, he’s shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-SUPREME LEADER
