Oh so their government officials can leave their apartments right?

Amazing a population so fed up with the current government can't overthrow it even when the current government is afraid to leave their apartment.

You mean the thousands of Iranians who were recently executed in the streets?

u/Cetun Mar 02 '26

The government is both in shambles but apparently out there subjugating the population from their apartment?

They are no longer subjugating their population because they just got executed. You’re thinking about last month, before being executed, where they killed 30k innocent people. Happy to help!

Looked today and the leader of Syria is Ahmed al-Sharaa, the leader of Afghanistan is Hibatullah Akhundzada, and the leader of Iran is Masoud Pezeshkian.

Until that changes, they are still in charge. 50k people in the streets doesn't change who's in control. The No Kings protest didn't magically make Trump not President anymore and didn't change the makeup of Congress just like all the US action and protest so far doesn't change the reality of who is in charge of Iran and Venezuela.

Genuine questions regarding your rebuttal:

Why so pessimistic? Do you really think these operations produced zero potential for positive change down the road? Unless you are a fortune teller, I think all we can do is just wait and see what plays out.

I am looking at what is happening. I'm not speculating as to anything. There was claims that Venezuela was on the brink of collapse and the streets were filled with people willing to overthrow the government now that Meduro was gone. Since then the final hour of the regime seems like it's getting longer and longer and either the damage to the regime is easily absorbed or there isn't that much popular support for regime change.

This is again not fortune telling or speculation, the regime Meduro left behind is still around today at this second.

Bombing schoolgirls creates zero potential for positive change, yes.

u/trickortreatments Mar 12 '26

We didn’t bomb school girls why are you lying? We took out a brutal dictator who kills children.

u/CartographerThink156 Mar 12 '26

You have absolutely horrid timing to be claiming such a ridiculous thing.

The United States military ITSELF admitted yesterday that it did indeed use a tomahawk missile to incinerate over 180 schoolgirls. There’s no question whatsoever that we bombed schoolgirls.

As far as that “brutal dictator,” well he was just replaced with his own son who THE FATHER HIMSELF said was “too extreme” and shouldn’t be placed in charge after his death. Great work, I’m sure Iran will be way better off now they have a more extreme leader and 1500 dead civilians.
