   This may shock some folks, but it is OK to simultaneously say that Khomeini had it coming and is a piece of shit who deserved what he got, and to say that a US president shouldn’t be assassinating foreign leaders without authorization from Congress. We can do that. We can have complex discussions. It is possible.

     @mcnado you mean, if Congress approved, its okay to assassinate foreign leaders? That’s your idea of a complex discussion?

     @mativity @mcnado why should leaders get special protection over the citizens of a country?

     @bweller @mativity @mcnado There is an international contract specifically about not assassinating foreign leaders. The US has agreed to this.

     @benroyce @mcnado Speaking of nuance, Khomeini died of a heart attack in 1989.

     dear McNadoMD,

     as the elected leader of the tankie alliance on the fediverse, it is my duty to inform you that we must kneejerk defend the govt of iran, despite the govt of iran being used toilet paper

     your talk of nuance is horrifying

     everything is black and white, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, you're either with us or against us, tribalism uber alles, blah blah blah

     oppose the govt of iran *and* the govt of the usa... at the same time?! wtf?

     thank you for your time
