becomes martyr at hands of people he's said were "the devil" for decades pricing his point. Inspires supporters to fight against the existential threat the enemy has proven themselves to be.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Makes perfect sense if you dont really care about the iranians and just want to ensure continual conflict in the region so you can gain cheap resource access and can legitimize your authoritarian regime because your country is oh so threatened all the time.

And distract people from the Epstein files.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago

As opposed to which course of action where they wouldn't say those things?

[–] Ummdustry@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I mean, yeah, but also it depends on America's war aims. If the plan is to just blow him up and leave ala venezula I'm not sure trump cares.

depends on America’s war aims

You mean distracting the masses from the Epstein files?

[–] DigitalAudio@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 hours ago

I really think you guys need to wake up to the fact that they don't care about distracting from the Epstein files because they know they can't be held accountable whatsoever.

The reality is every file could come out unredacted tomorrow and absolutely nothing would happen (maybe one or two major donors would get house arrest at best).

They're not trying to distract from anything because it doesn't matter. No one will do anything.

They are just furthering the US's economic and military goals by toppling unfriendly governments because they can. They don't care about optics, but they do care about whatever goals they have underlined for themselves.

The most likely unsettling reality for most American progressives, I imagine, is that toppling Iran, establishing a friendly government and gaining military power in the region, benefits them as well, just like with Venezuela, but it is a dark reality for most of the rest of the world. Not because Iran's government was great, they were absolute shit, but because that means the US will just extort whoever they want whenever they want.

Some Americans probably prefer to believe this is a distraction than to see how this ultimately does benefit their own country's immediate military interests at the expense of almost everybody else, not to mention setting an incredibly grim precedent for the future.

Basically, I think people are being naive or deliberately playing dumb when they pretend they don't understand how this benefits the US military industrial complex, and instead think it's all a distraction. Yes, what benefits you guys actively harms other humans. That's the sad reality of geopolitics sometimes.

yeah, bingo.

The ayatollah has spent decades building up redundancies in his regime to prepare for this war. There's already a replacement for his replacement.

[–] shawn1122@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

It would be generous to call that a plan.

they're still just a useful punching bag, there's only so much they can do squirreled away digging oil from deserts in the middle of nowhere

the funny part is, the West's enemies best avenue for attack/disruption (*especially the US) is a direct consequence of the mass propaganda they go out of their way to depoly against their own citizenry

More like pay-to-win. America has the advanced military DLC in a server with basic free accounts.

Now if only Trump, Putin, and Netanyahu would follow his lead.

[–] MrSpArkle@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don’t think I want Trump dying while doing what he loved.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Didn’t really think that one through I guess

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I mean, it's Ivanka right? I'm okay with that.

[–] onionsinmypores@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Where exactly is the 4chan in 2026? I would like to pay it a visit.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago

Same place it's always been? Is the main domain blocked for you?

[–] genau@europe.pub 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] onionsinmypores@sh.itjust.works 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Like they have been edited for this post? Or Is this a 4chan meme? The date does seem to say 1st March , 2026. Unless it's 26th March 2003 of course

[–] genau@europe.pub 1 points 17 hours ago

It's a prophecy 🥠

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

fishy af, I expect some kind of intelligence/secret service fuckery. What kind of authoritarian leader dies on the first day of a war?

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They've outright said the CIA was tracking his movements.

Although, I have a suspicion someone on the inside betrayed him, perhaps after seeing so many protesters slaughtered.

[–] tackleberry@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 hour ago

Definitely someone on the inside no doubt.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

One that was 86.

"Oh fuck. They're here. I'll be off now"

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 day ago

How is this the first day instead of just a new wave of attacks.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

Other than the white house, has there been any confirmation he was killed?

It just seems... Suspicious.

Edit: IDK guys a few more of you could let me know if Iran confirmed it or not

[–] Pechente@feddit.org 35 points 1 day ago (2 children)

His death has been reported by Iranian state media

[–] modus@lemmy.world 2 points 59 minutes ago

But have you personally seen the body? Hmmm... I didn't think so.

[–] Una@europe.pub 22 points 1 day ago

It is true, Wikipedia page says "was" instead of "is" 

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Khamenei

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

As you've been told, Iran has confirmed it and conspiracy ideologists are already looking for his hiding place in the mountains.

(gotta admit, it doesn't seem TOO far-fetched though)

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Iran's surviving government has confirmed it

[–] lemming@anarchist.nexus 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yes, there has.
