Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared in public even once since becoming Supreme Leader.
All evidence points to
zero live appearances
only written or read‑aloud statements
tight control over his visibility
ongoing uncertainty about his health and location.
This is no different than the Autopen Regime under Biden.
**** is too much of a COWARD to make the announcement in person to the people of IRAN, or he is dead.

IMO Trump would have to do something crazy first.

A nation that can project power globally, on DEFENSE? Nothing could ever touch us.
What we don't have, and will never have so long as people hold the values that you are expressing, is our republic. We are subjects of an empire, meant to be citizens of a republic.
And EVERY EMPIRE COLLAPSES. But not every republic is lost in the collapse. It just depends on how ya fold the circus tents down. Right now, we are inviting the rest of the world to help us fold down the tents. They won't be gentle. It won't be pretty. And they don't want to help. They want stability. They hate the very idea of warring with us. That's why we ALWAYS HAVE TO GO TO THEM. They never come to us.

We are not the police. We are the robbers.
And what aggravates this disconnect is that you - you, in your own words this very day - made reference to the "we need/want their ****" excuse for making war on sovereign states and peoples. You also defended jackbootery with the argument that if we're not stepping on their necks, they'll be stepping on ours - a SECOND example this very day of you framing our action as other than the neocon canard of our "being the world police." I do not understand how your brain has the space for those utterances, and toleration of the "world police" narrative. I've heard of a game called cops and robbers, but our country being both cops and robbers is no game.
I know what our aircraft carriers are doing. Limping away from combat, injured.
And I know what the western press is doing. Covering that up. But the rest of the world knows. And those of us who source from non-western journalists know. We don't know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. But we know what our own press is covering up. And what they are covering up is that Iran got to the lincoln and the ford, caused death and failure, forced retreat.

You are taking my pointed remarks as support of "policy" or whatever it might be called.
I'm sorry if you're being serious while I'm not. Not really anyway.
That's our only disconnect.
There may have been a time in my life many years ago (maybe oil shortage "crisis") as a youngster that I thought we use up theirs first then we'll be sitting pretty. In other words, I knew even then that we have lots of resources. The oil shortage was merely geo-political theater.
Just as I know NIMBY plays a big part in US domestic policy. Keep America beautiful while strip mining elsewhere.
I read someplace it takes 29 years to get approvals to open a new mine in the US. That is some real red tape. We **** ourselves all the time.
Because we've had access to places elsewhere so long we've taken so much for granted.
I'm actually starting to get interested in the Iran **** a little bit. I wonder what Iran used to gimp our carriers.
Was it Russian or Chinese technology? Those little brown guys are only good for speed boats, I think.

Iran may have been a good tooth but how is it Iranians even cheered from afar? Must've went bad.
If you moved to a better country to escape America's evil,
would you be cheering for whatever country blew us up?
What evil would have America have had to do to me to make me cheer its destruction from afar?
^^^That's just me attempting to see their side of this ****.
If and when America fails completely, whatever takes top honors then will be wrong too.
History shows that again and again. Lonely at the top.

An educated public would go a long way toward bettering our country but that battle has been lost.

Or whatever impels them to cheer the destruction of their mother country. I never said they were not being "genuine", any more than the expats from America would be being "genuine." I'm telling you they are not RELEVANT. They are NOISE - not signal.
I'm not lumping you. I'm deciphering you. It SEEMED that you think some number of cheering iranians has some meaning that I should take note of. I'm assuring you that I disagree.
We are not isolated. We have more overseas bases than there are overseas nations. Makes ya pretty hard to isolate. But were ARE trending in that direction. Nations are scrambling to disentangle. We have bared our teeth, ceased to disguise our true ambitions.
I'm anti-war. There is no excuse for it. There is only propaganda for it.
The pretense that countries are begging for us to attack them is simply not credible. Iran has bent over backwards for decades, and still we invent reasons to attack them. Hell, Russia petitioned to join NATO. We said HELL no - we need an enemy.
When I say Iran has bent over backwards, I am not denying it has funded freedom fighters that oppose israel and the US. I'm not saying they have surrendered any and all strategic objectives or ceased to pursue those objectives. What I am saying is that they are a member state of the IAEA and have signed treaties allowing generous access to IAEA inspectors. TRUMP withdrew from that treaty - not Iran. And that fact, all by itself, utterly eviscerates the pretense that this war has ANYTHING to do with Iran not getting a nuclear weapon. WE HAD THAT. And we threw that in the bin, so that we could have this war.
If that cackling trollop were president, we would still have this war. It is in the nature of empire to expand or contract. Republics tend toward stability and peaceful relations.
You reference the propaganda on both sides and the confusion thereby generated. I certainly do not disagree. But I can assure you that I am not confused. I understand that we had every assurance against Iran getting nukes, and we said **** that - where's the excuse for war in THIS ****? I can also read a pattern. This country has not known a day of peace in my lifetime. We are the common denominator.

If Iran was allowing generous access and allowing full disclosure about true intentions, I don't understand why Iran's "overly enriched" uranium is a factor in our relations with a third party (Russia). Seems like a Club Member ain't acting in good faith and Russia has pretty much validated that by demanding they get the stuff, not us.
Also, bending over backwards isn't what I say includes relabeling suicidal zealots as "freedom fighters". They seem like useful idiots every bit as much as we have here: Gubmints prey on people all the time. You say we do it here. I say they do it there. Tomato/tomahto.
Assuming (again) the news is true about a dumptruck full of enriched uranium (a biggie), silos full of I-hate-Israel-Missiles were in place, tunnels chock full of torpedo and mine-setter boats are now ready to clog the Strait, plus who-knows-what, Iran has a part to play in the propaganda war.
Were they **** with countries around them? Were there protests/demonstrations crushed by a chaotic Iranian government? Etc. etc. Lots of questions. There are a kajillion books written AFTER these global events because the truth in the midst of the fog is lost until some time has passed.
Credible sources probably exist and they will be stand outs, I'm sure. I can wait. Until then, I live in hope that my bad tooth metaphor is kinda close to the truth no matter how much you tell me it wasn't doing anything wrong.
I just don't trust any of the **** simply based "America is always wrong". That's not my go-to position. I'm as sick of another **** years-long war coming as anybody. At the same time, your position is that we need to take stuff (land, treasure, etc.) because we've lost our way and are going broke(r). There's certainly no shortage of ammo for that argument.
Remember the big WMD Iraq ****? That was called reasonable fear and credible evidence... blah, blah, blah. Saddam poisoned tons of his own citizens which only fueled the credibility of the rational response saber-rattlers. Lots of folks (including Iran) were happy to see that **** get his.
Then, magically, we found out he was lying and playing a shell game after the fact.
Instantly, America was wrong, a liar, imperialist, racist. blah, blah, blah...
The John Kerry position - "I was for it before I was against it" rings loudly even 22 years later . . . regarding Afghanistan but it's all the same ****.
People are no **** good. I am tired of war.
