#1 Did General Milley call to let them know the US won't respond?

#3 Now would be the time to really show the world America is not done yet. It would keep Putin in line, solve all mohameddan problems for the next five years, and re-establish morale.

Nuke them. Don't think twice about it. Nuke Tehran.

This is embarrassing

#5 And from the memory hole:

On November 4, 1979, 52 United States diplomats and citizens were held hostage after a group of militarized Iranian college students belonging to the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line, who supported the Iranian Revolution, took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and seized hostages.

Wikipedia
Dates: Nov 4, 1979 – Jan 20, 1981 (444 days)
Location: Tehran, Embassy of the United States, Tehran

Over 40 years ago now, but as I recall, our Washington D.C. minders and thinkers did little if anything about it. Is there any question why the Iranians think they can get away with whatever they want ?

#7 This on the heels of Ulyanov publicly saying that the Iranians got 'everything they wanted and more' and while some of this administrations, uh, luminaries publicly floating the idea of buying Iranian oil.

No expert I, but it rather sounds as though we have an answer.

#8 This on the heels of Ulyanov publicly saying that the Iranians got 'everything they wanted and more'

Knew Lenin had a hand in this.
Biden loves him some Leninism

#11 Maybe these dummies will realize one day, it's not all puppy dogs and ice cream. There is real evil in this world that needs to be rubbed out. And it's not just abroad. I'm not holding my breath thou.

#15 Got to say, I really wouldn't be unhappy if Bolton was never able to screw up a future conservative president's efforts in foreign policy.

#17 I read somewhere this morning that this is a newly built "embassy" and not currently staffed. Just because I read it doesn't make it true. Anybody else seen similar reports?

#19 Over 40 years ago now, but as I recall, our Washington D.C. minders and thinkers did little if anything about it.

And also from the memory hole:

How about when the CIA overthrew the democratic government of Iran in the 1950s and installed the Shah, a brutal dictator whose Savak secret police terrorized the country?

No? Nobody knows about that one? Memory hole, eh.

#20 I'm fast reaching the opinion that if someone nuked the US, Biden would do nothing.

Not only that, he'd prolly send 2 million American prisoners to work in Moscow.

#27 Funny that the Ukrainian and the Russian negotiators issued statements today that they both expect a signed peace deal within days. Does Team Biden even have a clue as to what's going on in the world now?

Or are the Russians now in control of events from Kiev to Vienna to Tehran?
