Khamenei is a Shi'a where most of the Islamic world follows Sunni traditions. Even among Shi'a, Khameni is (rightly) despised.
If there would be a war, it would be waged with the tepidest of finger-wags while laughing in secret.

Iran’s parliament’s security committee warned the US that any action against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei would be considered a declaration of war on the Islamic world. The warning was issued through state media and framed as a defense of Iran’s leadership. #Iran

Fuck, I just remembered that there were members of the ASOIAF fandom that said Doran was justified in sending troops to murder the Starks because a Martell grandchild is worth any price.

Man fetishizing over war on another continent says war on another continent is not our problem.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 Marco Rubio on Ukraine: "It’s not our war. It’s a war on another continent..."

Revoking treaties because people said mean things. Do you need a safe space?

Russia literally trafficked Indian men to fight in Ukraine and Modi responds by rolling over and showing his belly.
Putin and Modi beam at the Russia-India business forum in Delhi. Putin calls for expanding ties beyond energy and defense “in all areas.” Modi briefly spoke about the Russian invasion and said India stands “on the side of peace”
Yet the red carpet for a war criminal says more than any speech could

One of the things that makes the whole second-strike on the boat worse is that it significantly undermines trust in the field. If I'm flying an attack aircraft, I have to rely on others to tell me that my target requires a second strike; I can't see it on my own. 1/3

Hey, remember how the doofus-in-chief promised that manufacturing employment would go up with tariffs? That factories would open in the United States? The thing that he said all the economists were lying about?
Who'd have guessed this would happen except everyone?
