    Iran targeting U.S. citizens, U.S. targeting U.S. citizens, U.S. citizens just can’t get a break.

    My money is on Iran enacting a terrorist attack on July 4. It isn’t just Iran’s opportunity to enact mere vengeance, but it is a convenient opportunity to have that vengeance become deeply ingrained into the mind of America for a long time to come. Where we would once have celebrated our independence, that celebration would be contaminated by a horrific attack. It’s not just about enacting petty revenge, but it’d be about sending a message for generations. Also, the date is conveniently close.

    Edit: Spelling

    Propaganda is when you punch someone in the face and then quote them saying “I’ll kill you” instead of mentioning the face punch.

      My best guess is that they’ll use biological warfare. Our culture has already demonstrated that this is a huge weakness. They could also get us with a cyber attack, shutting down important infrastructure that way.

        Iran would not do that, but you raise an important point about how insanely vulnerable the US is to actual biological attacks.

        Could you imagine the US government trying to get Americans to get an anthrax vaccine after a weapon attack?

      Imagine a group of criminals holding a police station hostage. You are not the hostages, you are the ones who are supposed to take care of the hostage takers.

      You voted(or didn’t) for him and are responsible. Good luck, leave the rest of the world out of this.

      Sincerely the world.

        Fuck you, don’t assume that shit on me. I voted, I volunteered on phone banks, I tried talking to whomever you listen on why this guy was a bad deal all the way back from 2015, and it was never for that walking piece of human excrement.

          Did you vote against him? Did you read what I wrote? Then why so mad? Reading comprehension needs to increase in the US as well I see.

          Yeah, fuck that guy. It’s not fault my a third if the country fell for the propaganda, and a third of the country didn’t care enough to even vote. I will not be held personally responsible for convincing all of the American voting populous to get their heads out of their asses.

              Dumbass. I will never take responsibility for some shit I didn’t do. This is the same logic as racism, so get the fuck out of here with you bullshit

                You’re doing a great job illustrating why it’s been so easy for the US to completely fuck up everything good it ever had going for it.

                  Whatever bro. I’m doing everything I can without sacrifice my entire life to the meat grinder. The fact that you’re still free and not in prison is proof that you haven’t done anything more than I have, because all that’s left is the illegal shit.

    Fellow muricans; stay out of metropolitan areas on July 4th. My guess is that we’re going to see the inevitable marriage of military and local law enforcement using the “iranian sleeper sell agents biden let loose in our country” angle instead. Faux news frontpage is laying the groundwork as of yesterday.

    Is Iran mad at me now? Bruh this is why I don’t like leaving the house. /s But seriously something has got to give with this maniac regime we have here in the U.S., and I’m afraid we are the only ones who could realistically stand up and change anything. Nobody else is coming to save us.

      This is correct.
