    This makes sense. I can’t see Trump being willing to back down, but I can see corporate pressure doing it.

    Weird, I kind of support Iran now. These companies dying would be good for the world.

      as a Usian it’s sometimes hard to know who to root for in this senseless “special operation” (or whatever…)

          I like Usonian.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usonia

          Because even our terms for ourselves are inherently colonial. The Americas are two separate continents, we aren’t the only Americans.

            Bad Bunny’s halftime show called people out for this lol. “God bless America” followed by listing all the countries in the Americas.

    If they also target Amazon and Tesla, they have my support. Tbh Tesla wouldn’t even be hard to attack, just yeet some molotovs at the dealership from a few cheap drones or by hand depending on how openly you are going for.

    I’ll say this for Iran: They’re happy to take Trump’s scorched-earth ball and run with it. And they’re known to have hacking teams with such capabilities, so ignoring this shot against the bow is folly.

    Basically, it’s “You’re here for our oil. We’re here for your entire economy.”

    Really bad day for making threats if they want them to be taken seriously.

        Their propaganda organization (where this is certainly originating from) obviously knows what April 1 means for the west. They’re not stupid.

        Oh wait, they’re not stupid. This is deliberate.

    How can it be, that the Iranian terror regime appears more simpatic than the current US Government?

    You know, I gotta say, that might just serve them right. Those billionaire owners sucking on the teat of president inmate #P01135809 just might some comeuppance.
