   IRGC Missile Strike on Erbil, Iraq took out Peshraw Dizayee who headed the Falcon Group that played a central role in the West's occupation, division and exploitation of Iraq. Among the group's clients are Western oil corporations like Marathon, Total, and Hess, notorious US contractor KBR, and the US Army itself.

     @yogthos since I did oppose the assassination of Soleimani by the US, it would be hypocritical for me to celebrate this, but I do fear the west will respond with far less restraint than the Iranians did at the time. I recall how the execution of some violent US contract mercenaries lead to the US wiping out Fallujah, a war crime really only exceeded (and exceeded by far) by the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

     @yogthos indeed, maybe Netanyahu will get to remain in office in 2025 after all... Biden's solution also seems to be to become a war president, too.

     @gnutelephony it looks like we might be in an escalation cycle here, and that could culminate in a war between US and Iran

     @yogthos there are always resources when your willing to use nukes... this is why claiming Iran is "days" away from having a nuke, as Netanyahu recently re-said, is so important. Of course they seem to be "days" away for a number of years now... Long days they have.

     @gnutelephony that might be their plan, but it seems like US and Israel may lack physical resources to engage in a conflict of such a scale now

     @yogthos I do think the Israeli's are, though.

     @gnutelephony use of nuclear weapons would be absolutely unhinged, I'm hoping that even the US isn't quite that insane
