The Gavin Newsom that people think they like is 100 percent a character played by his staffers. Every time he goes off script or does something on his own it's horrible.

And watch, it will be US citizens who crash the economy because people will willingly stop consuming the brands standing for inequality and war. Iraq was the last war of its kind for the US, people are just not going to buy into it this time.

U.S. President Donald Trump: "I'm going back to the White House now, we're going to look at the whole situation that's going on in Iran... really bad stuff… We'll get some accurate numbers as to what's happening with regard to the killing."

One could argue that it’s the US fault but I would argue the contrary. When the US and UK got involved in Iran, it was a very modern, civilized and wealthy country. Iranian women could be educated and live a very “western” life. There is another factor that many are entirely over looking.

"Progressives" absolute silence in Iranians struggling to free themselves from the barbaric Khamenei and IRGC, or worse, the "hands off Iran" pasty kids show they NEVER cared about Gaza, they just hate Jews and arrogantly pretend they are better than you for doing so.

That is untrue. If the enemy uses a structure for attacks or shelter than according to the rules of law it becomes a valid target. Them is the rules.

let's put it this way...

every country knows where everyone else's facilities and silos are.

except most of the public.

retaliation has two main features - sites and prime targets. this action makes the latter more valuable, and easier. all of us need be more aware now.

Iran will respond with an attack on U.S. soil. Minnesota is one of the safer states I suspect.

Anyone walking a street is now a target of any Iranians or sympathizers who can carry 5 assault rifles but thankfully America is smart enough but to simply sell such weapons to anyone who wants them

Oh crap

Following the President’s action in Iran, California’s State Threat Assessment Center is actively monitoring for any potential impacts in California. While there are no specific or credible counter threats we’re aware of at this time, we urge everyone to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity.

This is what happens when a child leader is put in charge of an adult country and uses its resources to show off to a rogue friend. The EU and any other sane nation should expel US ambassadors for this illegal action or it allows the next 3 years to become a nightmare of vainglorious bullying.

Every State Governor should be doing the same thing. They should also heightened security around power plants, bridges, government facilities, etc. Americans traveling out of the country should exercise extreme caution. Everyone, stay alert.
