I am ratcheting down my social media, but let me just say that all European leaders except on the far Right should note that the U.S. now seeks regime change in their country; basically seeks to depose them. US strategy is to support the political forces that threaten liberal democracy in Europe.

A preoccupation with secondary strikes implicitly suggests that the initial strike was warranted & legal.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
What if—bear with me now—both those strikes and all those that followed were illegal?
Markwayne Mullin defends Hegseth: "If there was a second strike, it wouldn't be to just simply take out the survivors. It's because there was still a threat or opportunity for them to run."
