    Man, it sure didn’t take long to pivot from “We need to invade Iran to protect those poor protestors from their evil government” to “Bomb 'em back to the stone age”.

    How strange. It’s almost like Trump didn’t have the best intentions of the Iranian people at heart from the get go.

      To anyone that was actually fooled by this, when we start bombing Cuba, please remember to not listen to the Cuban diaspora that cheer on the bombing as some form of liberation. Remember all of the Iranian diaspora that cheered on Iran being invaded? They do not care about the country they or their parents left for the US. And with Cuba, there is a high likelihood they are the children of slave plantation owners that fled Cuba after the revolution.

        I’m living in Miami right now and there are no bigger “victims” than some Cubans here. Everything is someone else’s fault. If it weren’t for the revolution, they would be rich!

          The weirdest ones are the ones that say their parents/grandparents “fled communism”; and then you ask them “when?” and they say “1953”.
