I think "F*ck America" or "F*ck this stupid country" as one of my first thoughts upon awakening each morning, and I'm American. That you would express simiar sentiments during sex doesn't surprise me at all.

I say , wake the fuck up America.

Please stop being lead by stupid psychopaths

Its never too late, you don't have to continue down this path because psychopaths gave you orders to destroy.

Wake the fuck up America, every grandmother, grandfather uncle, aunt cousin, friend, mother , father, brother , sister, tell your family members that they must not obey the orders of this regime.

Tell them to wake the fuck up, you sore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that you would bear true faith and allegiance to the same;

You sore to obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. .... The president and his Generals have broken their oath, and their commands are not in accordance to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Wake the fuck up America, end this nightmare regime

You're apparently unaware of the redemptive power of violence. This nation was built on murder, it thrives on murder, and it murders someone every single day just to exist. It's blood and death all the way down, but this is nothing new.

I admire your clear mindedness. Thank you. It’s crazy how people are saying Iran started all this. Or they say well they killed x thousand of their own people. Still doesn’t give the US the right to attack them though. The US kills its own people every day. Does it give the rest of the world the right to attack the US? I wish we had the guts though. We have more legitimate reasons, considering what the US has done in the name of “democracy”.

Brianna Amore's avatar

And what did Iran do to "start" all this anyways? I asked someone on Facebook that question and they only thing they could come up with was the terrorist bombing of the US Army barracks in Beirut. That happened OVER FORTY FUCKING YEARS AGO.

100%, and also the recent news surrounding the protests leading up to the attack on Iran claiming they killed 60,000 protestors is mainly coming from groups backed by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a literal CIA-backed regime change front. It's very possible the government killed protestors but a.) that doesn't justify starting an illegal war of aggression and b.) nobody in the US is in a position to wag their fingers at Iran, let the Iranian people have sovereignty without constantly being put under the boot of imperialism.

Thank You Caitlin

John Mearsheimer was saying today that a recent “Lancet” study has estimated that 38 million people have been killed by US wars and sanctions between 1971 and 2021. It is time the UN expelled the US and Israel from the UN and all international organisations. This illegal war against Iran must be the last war started by the US. Right now Iran is giving them a spanking. For Australia to join in this illegal war is beyond belief. It simply demonstrates the gutlessness of Australian politicians who are either bribed or blackmailed by the Zionist who are acting on behalf of genocidal Israel in consort with US Christian evangelical fundamentalists.

If Western politicians want to promote the end times they can start by ensuring the US is the first to experience this wonderful rapture.

Thank you for your input. Never in my life would I believe Jesus would look at Drumpf as a human, and never would he anoint a rapist paedophile, liar and cheat in all dealings through his immoral life. To me Drumpf's overlord has horns and a tail and is waiting with the gates of hell open to welcome his protege home.

Australia is "governed" by a kakistocratic mini Zionist-Occupied Government (compared to maxis like the US and UK), so will do whatever it is told by the world-ruling oligarchic occultocracy, aka AngloZion.

Brianna Amore's avatar

And Iran didn't just randomly attack its neighbors in response to US bombing. It only attacked neighbors that are allies of the United States and have US bases on their land. Bases where American sorties are being launched into Iran, by the way. So these aren't exactly innocent neighbors and it's highly dishonest to say so.

How can anyone believe that the Epstein class behind these wars cares about women's rights?

Also, how can anyone expect Iran to want to negotiate peace when they've been attacked TWICE during peace negotiations in the last year, the most recent attack killing their spiritual leader?

What will it take to convince people that they've been steeped in BS their entire lives?

Well I know from first hand experience, a lot of Americans are just trying to pay the rent and budget their electricity and gas bills, and hope they don't get too sick where they have to see a doctor.

Then in the evenings they watch Rachel Maddow, or The View or Wolf Blitzer on CNN. Maybe reruns of I Love Lucy - to reduce the stress of their somewhat (poverty driven) meaningless lives.

And education is going downhill in the US as well. It's being privatized and books are being banned left and right.

So. Don't know what it will take. Although, it does look like Trump's popularity is beginning to wane and I don't think Americans are as Rah Rah for this war as they were for the Iraq war (s). So that's something I guess.

Minneapolis response to the Trumpian goon squads prove that a LOT of people are courageously resisting the fascist agenda.

1000%. Well said. The orange freak and his fascist issreshell COWARD and ICC indicted thug are mass murdering punks. Both belong in prison. The civilized world despises them both along with their pathetic sideshow sycophants. Fuck them all. FUCK them all to deepest pits of pergatory hell

Joseph's avatar

I can't think of a better orgasm than seeing the US/Israel empire crumble due to this war. With the Epstein files and now this Idiotic war, you would think the educated American would turn on the alliance with Israel, yet the propaganda machine is so powerful. It took me years to see through it. We are held hostage by our own media and education system and they do it by their talking tricks like Caitlan points out above. They guide the narrative.

DavidPageYea's avatar

Israel is growing more unpopular with US citizens by the day. Politicians increasingly take note and try to hide their $ from AIPAC, or even outright refuse it!

Whatistobedone's avatar

👍 Spot on. I cringe thinking about the propaganda, the myths we were taught in school....and believed! But one thing my generation DID benefit from: there was at least some effort made to teach critical thinking skill...or, at least it was tolerated! I sure exercised that when I started waking up to reality...thanks largely to my folks...

gypsy33's avatar

So much for advancing the “rights” of Iranian women:

Pretty rich from a regime (AmeriKKKa) who elects a man who sexually assaults little girls and brags about grabbing women by the p****.

Cause, you know, women are treated with so much fucking “respect” HERE.

DavidPageYea's avatar

Trump and rethuglicans advocate trad wives and attempt to strip womens' vote through the SAVE Act.

Whatistobedone's avatar

jamenta: me, too. I read a bit today Julie K. Brown's assessment of some of the Epstein files...I thought it impossible, but I was AGAIN blown away by the BANALITY of it all, how NORMAL all of it was to soooo many players, central and peripheral. The bloody wanker trafficked and raped little girls AT ALL HIS PROPERTIES. ALL THOSE PEOPLE IN ALL THOSE PLACES WHO KNEW...many (dozens?!) of gyns on call at each property location. Mind boggling the number of perps and enablers..."players" - ESPECIALLY the atrocious Acosta and the DOJ. MANY, many people could have stopped the insanity. NO ONE did. Summing up this rambling crazy talk...humans SUCK and will be kapoot sooner than we imagine. Cheers to this community. We labor on.

I’ve seen the US reports that Iran is preparing to mine the Strait of Hormuz, but I am extremely sceptical. This doesn’t align with their strategy, which is to control which vessels pass through, not close it to all traffic. I interpret these reports as a US/Israeli psy-op of some kind.

Dr.Who's avatar

Correct. Just more stupid war propaganda by the sinking Empire.

ennui_mcgee's avatar

That's a stupid psyop if so, because it would seem to indicate their investors that they don't have control of the situation, which they don't.

Brianna Amore's avatar

I read that it has already begun.

Stephen Walker's avatar

Any source? Did Iran confirm it?

Stephen Walker's avatar

So on the basis of anonymous US intelligence sources, cited by a single CNN report, you believe it has already begun? Wow, you’re easily propagandised.

Susan T's avatar

The US empire is ruled by a Hitler-esque tyrant. He does not care about the American people or any other people. He laughed about an unarmed ship being sunk instead of taken into custody. He said it is more fun to sink the ship. No matter what the Iranian government is doing, it is for the people of Iran to resist. It is super sad that so many of them see the American/Israeli intervention of their country as them being saved.

DavidPageYea's avatar

I think Iranians are smarter than you give them credit for and smarter than the majority of Americans. Yes they are displeased with their regime, but they also know that Trump has something worse planned for them.

I am thinking about Iranians outside of Iran who have demonstrated, carrying Israeli and American flags etc. I think those people are traitors to Iran. I do not think Iranian people are not smart

Hey Jamenta, that is far too defeatist. What a few do is not how most of us think or feel.

I'm feeling a lot of defeat these days. Sorry to be such a downer Jon. (I think those 165 girls being burned to death at their school got to me.)

Yes it was. Pure evil.

I've seen the bloody backpacks,

And the tiny leftover bodies.

They were double-tapped in the auditorium where

They had gathered terrified, but still hoping to get out -

But then a 2nd US missile landed and burned them while they waited.

Jon Olsen's avatar

You are 100% justified to be depressed about that. We all are. But Israel is getting a pounding; one report from on he ground says it is looking more and more like Gaza. "own medicine" as it were. And many US bases are now nearly useless in the region.

Ever wonder what any of this is about Whatistobedone? Why is there existence in the first place? I can't make heads or tails of it these days.

One hundred and sixty five young girls burned to death in a double-tap, because some US blockhead thought an old Iranian Naval building was still in use.

pyrrhus's avatar

To be more precise, I think the "both sides" position is just sheer cowardice...Iran didn't attack the US or Israel or anyone...so it's clear who the bad guys are....

Caitlin is hitting them with the stark beautiful truth as never before. You are a one woman revolution! Tim won't mind if I leave him out!

Only empire vassals and Israeli fanatics will contort themselves to virtue signal that they oppose both sides. As Caitlin writes it is simply crazy. They don't seem to have half a brain coupled with even a drop of human feeling called empathy, to discern who the aggressor is; who the victim is.

Horror! A global south country dared to hit back at the empire. More power to them.

Australia much to our shame was quick off the mark to join in, not only militarily but with a spectacle of making full propaganda use of some hapless Iranian soccer players. Worthy of a Trumpian Human Rights Peace Prize. They are just encouraging the rabid Israelis, who are even talking of using the Nuclear option.

It was reported that the American embassy in Colombo Sri Lanka, had warned the SL Government not to make propaganda use of the seamen they rescued from the Iranian ship torpedoed by the US off the coast of Sri Lanka. Are they being coerced to hand the Iranians to the USA?!

The local media in Sri Lanka reported:

"The United States is pressing Sri Lanka's government not to repatriate the survivors ​from the Iranian warship it sank this week, as well as the crew of a second Iranian ship ‌that is in Sri Lankan custody, according to an internal State Department cable seen by Reuters on Friday".

The Revolution Continues's avatar

How does that acronym go--FAFO? The US and Israel f*cked around with Iran and found out that they weren't the top-of-the-walk anymore (if they ever were). Bullies will always reap what they sow. And now Iran will sow their troops six feet under.

Thank you, Caitlin! "If your words help grease the wheels of the war machine, then you bear partial moral responsibility for what the war machine does with your assistance." -

enabling and/or acquiescing to a war of aggression is also a war crime.
