So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Not trying to be hyperbolic, I fear we are on the cusp of a 9/11 type catastrophe that this regime is unwilling and unable to protect us from.

everything was hunky-dory until 1953. thatโ€™s when shit truly went sideways, after Mossadegh broke the eleventh commandment โ€” Thou Shalt Not Fuck With Big Oil โ€” by nationalizing Iranโ€™s oil industry. our CIA and Britainโ€™s MI6 got themselves worked into a Big Mad over this, and engineered a coup that overthrew Mossadegh and turned Iran back into a monarchy, restoring Reza Pahlavi as the Shah.

the thing about the Shah of Iran is that he was a repressive piece of shit who was hated by his people, and his fuckery led to the Iranian Revolution of 1979 โ€” and thatโ€™s how Iran went from being a repressive monarchy to being a repressive theocracy. meet the new boss, yadda yadda.

thatโ€™s why weโ€™re in this mess right now โ€” because we couldnโ€™t leave well enough alone 73 years ago.

did you know Iran used to be a western-style democracy, with an elected prime minister? but then one day in 1953, the CIA ousted him in a coup, and restored the repressive and corrupt Shah to power โ€” that's REALLY how this mess all got started. you can read all about it in my post: bit.ly/4lfWn7c

The FL Republicans are like lemmings, and would follow Trump and DeSantis over the cliff edge.

What an unnecessary tragedyโ€ฆ

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...donโ€™t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesnโ€™t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesnโ€™t create jobs

Folks, weโ€™ve seen this all before.
