"What is at stake in this confrontation is the future of the entire region [...] Arab political elites have been so thoroughly subordinated that they stood idly by, or even aided and abetted, as #Israel slaughtered Palestinians by the tens of thousands, which gives some sense of what they hope to accomplish in #Iran."

'I see some Iranians in the diaspora doing the “Y.M.C.A.” Trump dance while their country burns. I dread opening X or any social media, which I do every morning anyway, just to see fellow Iranians applaud Donald Trump’s war on their country, deny atrocities, or even blame the regime for the missiles landing on their compatriots’ heads. Yes, I, too, am a self-hating Persian in those moments.'

#Historians would also argue that the #Vietnam War served as a defining — if not redefining — moment in the history of U.S. party #politics. At the time, there was perhaps no bigger player in sculpting modern #conservatism than William F. Buckley, who in a 1968 column advocated the use of #NuclearBombs in Vietnam. In 1969, President Richard #Nixon nearly heeded that recommendation.
