“America can’t do a damn thing against us,” Ayatollah Khomeini bragged while holding our hostages.
The Carter administration had undermined the Shah’s government in favor of the Islamists who seized power and then prevented the embassy’s Marine guards from defending the facility and the people inside against the Muslim ‘student’ groups who claimed to be coming in peace.
The “peaceful” student activists took over our embassy and held our people hostage.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei taunted President Trump with the same slogan in June after being asked to give up Iran’s nuclear weapons program. “Our response to the US nonsense is clear: they cannot do a damn thing in this matter,” he echoed his regime’s founder.’
Carter’s failure to defend Americans had turned Khomeini’s taunt into a confident slogan.
America couldn’t stop its diplomats and soldiers from being taken hostage and paraded through the streets. In subsequent decades, future administrations couldn’t stop other Americans from being taken hostage again, tortured and executed. By the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Iranian IEDs alone had accounted for as many as 1,000 American victims.
Qassem Soleimani, Iran’s IRGC terror mastermind, had thoughtthat America couldn’t do a damn thing. In January 2020, President Trump taught him otherwise with a Reaper drone.
It was the first time in a long time that America had done a “damn thing” about Iran.
In 1983, Iranian backed terrorists set off truck bombs in Beirut that killed 220 US Marines and 21 other servicemembers. Mohsen Rafiqdoost, Khomeini’s bodyguard who helped found Iran’s IRGC terror force, boasted that, “both the TNT and the ideology, which in one blast sent to hell 400 officers, NCOs, and soldiers at the Marines headquarters, were provided by Iran.”

“ How about all this war talk go away?”
How about you go away. These savages have been killing Americans without consequences for decades. They need to be extirpated from the face of the earth completely and forever.
By any means necessary.

Bush was the mistake. Trump destroyed the Bush’s.
And if you believe I get paid by Israel you are severely mental.
Geez.
Ok, so that is a psychopath take.
You need to get off the internet for awhile I think.
Ok...
Bush was a mistake.... Trump can’t make mistakes?
Looks like Randfag has another user name. 😀
TRUMP IS NOT CARTER
“ How is that helping the USA taxpayer?”
It ends a regime of psychopathic religious nut jobs who have been murdering Americans for decades.
That’s how, Scooter.

If you are just insulting me its because you have no argument. Sad.
These cringe psycopathic neo-cons are bad for policy.
Im insulting you because you are insane. Enjoy the thorzine.
Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, eliminated for his crimes. I think that was fine.
Now are you talking about an occupation war? Because I know that would get a lot more Americans killed. Or are you talking turning Iran to glass.
I see neither option here as good policy.
From a psychopathic Neo-con that is a badge of honor
It appears that Israel has very posdibly been paranoid for at least 40 years:
👉 1.) “Iran is on the cusp of developing a nuclear bomb” — Israeli newspaper in… 1984.
Netanyahu and others in Israel have been on a crusade against Iran for decades. Their goal is to lure the US into destroying all the power centers in the Middle East.”

And then there’s this:
👉 2.) Iran has been “days away from developing nukes” for more than 30 years.
[92, 93, 95, 96, 2006...2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2022, 2024, 2025]
https://x.com/GarbageHuman24/status/1933366152845271321
Amd this. They all never come true. If not paranoid then they perhaos just want to rule the Middle East?
👉 3.) Video:

“Netanyahu: Iran months away from nuclear bomb”

🤪 Don’t quit your day job.
We’ve seen the movie before. Iraq has Nukes. Slam dunk it happened.
Cringe, man... Seriously cringe.
Call Senator Padilla. You two can cry together. 🤧
“The war in Iraq was a big, fat mistake, they (the Bush administration) lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none.” — Donald Trump
Notice the newspaper headline in the Israeli newspaper?
Iran is close to getting a nuke.
The date... 1984.
They’ve been peddling thus for decades
Except another slam dunk will meand heavy US involvement as Israel will not stop short of regime change and that means Repubs lose bigly in 2026.
Indeed. If USA gets involved in a land war in Iran it would be over for Republicans. I gaurantee it.
