Honestly, have you ever thought in your lifetime that the international left would support autocracy similar to the Ayatollah, these dictators all have something in common, Xi, Hitler, Mao, Stalin ,over a democratically elected system?

The radical left has quite simply gone mad and the sheeple fed a diet of MSM propaganda have been brainwashed to such an extent, and have been so filled with hate towards Trump, they'll support anything that's not Trump.

This statement from a normal progressive Senator will stick around for a long time to come in the world of anti terror democracy's . "Lets see who grieves for that...

Alas the only one in the Democrats who doesn't bow to the radical left running the show. If the Democrats were filled with people like him and didn't run a cackling idiot for POTUS at the last election they may very well have won. The same applies for 2028.

Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait...all monarchist dictatorships.

A dangerous precedent has been set. In 2026, it is okay for a foreign nation to kidnap or kill the leader of another sovereign nation. Nobody is saying Khamenei was a good guy nor Maduro a good leader, but isn't it interesting that their support and approval ratings in their own country are the same as the approval rating of Trump in the US. They all "enjoyed" around 35% support and around 55-60% disapproval.

Does that mean any country is now free to take a shot at removing the increasingly unpopular Trump?

He set this precedent.

Just to keep in mind:

1. "America First and ZERO wars"

2. "We had to bomb Iran to eliminate possible nuclear weapons"

3. "Trump had to start war again, only to stand with the people of Iran and give them the backing they need."

In 2012 and 2013, Trump repeatedly insinuated that then-President Barack Obama would start a war with Iran to shore up his re-election effort and to distract from his supposed faults as a leader.

Obama never did attack Iran. That cannot be said for Trump, who has now attacked the Middle Eastern republic three times during across his two terms in office.

He's the president of the "Board of Peace".🤮

Criminal in Chief only. But he can't kill the Epstein - Trump ™ files.

Awww, your heroes in Tehran are gone and Trump and the Jews are even more powerful. You can sob brokenly, no one cares.

An interesting argument. I do wonder though if the majority of people in Venezuela are happy Maduro's gone and the majority of people in Iran are happy the theocratic terrorist murdering lunatic is dead and want the rest of the theocratic terrorist murdering lunatics gone.

The Ayatollah Khamenei, who ruled since 1989, issued a religious fatwa in the mid-1990s and reaffirmed in 2003, declaring the production, stockpiling, and use of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction as haram, or forbidden under Islamic law.

With the successful assassination of Khamenei, so goes the fatwa. Don't be surprised if his predecessor chooses a different path regarding nuclear weapons considering the unending Israeli and US aggression against Iran. Does any Western nation attack North Korea? No. There is a reason.

As the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for. You may get it.

Nice spin.

The FBI will do what needs to be done. The USA itself remains safe.

However, US nationals in countries like Thailand which have allowed easy access to Iranian nationals would be wise to exercise caution. I would not be surprised to see attempts made against US nationals in some EU countries like Germany, Belgium.

I don't believe the Iranian nationals in Thailand are a threat. I know a number of Iranians living abroad - in Thailand and elsewhere - and almost without exception they love their country, its culture and its history.

What they despise, often intensely, is the regime that governs it. Many left precisely because of repression, economic collapse and lack of freedom. If the current system were to fall, their sadness would not be for the leadership - it would be for the civilian lives inevitably lost in the process.

And that brings us back to the uncomfortable question: who places significant military infrastructure next to a school ? If a Revolutionary Guards facility is embedded next to a school - that inevitably raises the human shield issue - more likely by design than disregard.

Your point about risk assessment is valid. But in my view, the concern is not ordinary overseas Iranian citizens. I'd imagine greater security risk to come from ideologically motivated actors - Groups widely recognised as aligned with or supported by the Iranian regime include Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza, the Houthis - Ansar Allah - in Yemen, and several Iraqi Shia militias such as Kataib Hezbollah, Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Harakat al-Nujaba and other factions within the Popular Mobilization Forces, along with smaller Bahrain-based groups like the Al-Ashtar Brigades....

I agree that Trump is not Hitler as Hitler is dead, but Trump is doing a great impersonation the way he is going with his dictatorial and unhinged illegal actions around the world!

That doesn't matter. What matters is that fake news consumers/notorious pushers of conspiracy theories and irrational Trump haters on forums are happy. They are not. The citizens of Iran and Venezuela are of minimal importance compared to these sensitive hatefilled forum dwellers.
