I'll take what they keep accusing North Korea of for $420, Donald

Important to note that most, if not all of the Iranian officials involved in the negotiations are objectively civilian politicians. Targeting them would be cut-and-dry terrorism.

Surely this goose sauce won’t make a good gander sauce

I live in a clown town in a clown state in a clown nation of morally and financially bankrupt degenerates.

Yep always been bad but the way the media normalizes these blatant imperialist crimes makes the next one even less questioned.

let's hope it comes back around

Ah yes, the famous winning strategy of "give me what I want or you're dead!" Only slightly more well known than "give me what I want or I'll fuck your mother"

IRGCs leadership is decentralised by design. And at any point there are 3 people ready to take over any leadership role.

They’ve planned for this.

Same with their military, it's the whole mosaic defense system they came up with.

Remember when WaPo exposed government wrongdoing instead of encouraging it? I’m going to go watch All The President’s Men.

They should do The Post II where brave patriotic journalists fight to do the bidding of the new regime against the disapproval of the Woke deep state, starring Kid Rock and Melania.

This is a corporate propaganda rag owned by one of the richest men in the US.

What did you expect?

Try reading the actual news.

You're missing the point entirely there. WaPo is as mainstream American publication as it gets. The US mainstream media is now openly advocating for war crimes.

Does this seem out of character with the actions currently being taken by the US though? Kidnapping world leaders, bombing schools, blockading the strait of Hormuz and threatening to attack anyone who uses it?

Killing negotiators doesn’t feel like a joke or “too far” for these ghouls.
