It is great to see someone manage to elucidate criticism for both sides. I think it would be useful to draw up exactly what humanists should be supporting, because it is definitely not either US imperialism or religious dictatorship. A US abject loss would limit imperialist attrocities elsewhere, and arguably could slow the decline in US democracy by undermining imperialist ambitions, but would do nothing for the suffering of the Iranian people.
The best case for the Iranian people is that the US engages meaningfully with reformists in or potentially in government, providing a pathway to stepwise gradual normalisation of relations as moves towards democracy and reduction of corruption take place. Coincidentally that would also be in the best of interests of ... pretty much everyone, apart from the current US and Iranian regimes. This does seem unthinkable at the moment, but taking a step back it is the only reasonable solution.
I thought Iran leveraging Legos was some sort of cryptic support for the territorial integrity of Denmark. Trump was threatening and acting generally stupid in regards to them. I could be wrong though.
I believe that you're too close to the tree to see the forest in this moment. The reason Americans like & share the videos is because they drive 47 nuts. They're part of a campaign to increase his stress level & show rejection of him.
Who could have ever imagined that an inept and miserable POTUS, who claims to be a reality tv wizard and omniscient soothsayer, could actually achieve the virtually impossible task of creating sympathy for Iran, not just internationally but among the American people as well? Between the evil mullahs & Donald Trump, it's a toss-up as to who's lying about what.
Rachel Maddow interview of Barb McQaude(https://bit.ly/4v2pCyN) is a much short watch to understand Cheeto’s approach
The protection racket of the mob boss becomes normalized illegal government behavior The law firms have made poor choices to succumb to Cheeto’s extortion scheme Although victims deserve scrutiny and disdain let's never forget the role of the real villain at work
Teflon Don seems untouchable but it’s actually a branding tactic, bragging that he’s above the law and essentially invincible Cheeto’s image all over Washington especially at the DOJ It’s a tactic designed to silence critics Satire mockery can puncture such branding
Payoff for Cheeto is support from his collaborative cronies such as suckups Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Musk The solution is to get money out of politics through legislation and there needs to be public outrage and WE the People push back since the Democratic Party is not up to the task Protests count and all of us play a role
The DOJ institution has been severely compromised by the Nazi Republicans Redemocritinization has to take place at the DOJ with reporting requirements between the WH and DOJ, regulations in policy and force oversight
Ultimately in responding to mobstyle governance it comes down to WE the People take responsibility to take our power back No one can take your power away without WE doing it voluntarily VOTE like your freedom depends on it and induce others to do the same
A TRUE AND FAIR ANALYSIS
Thank you, Pete!

I strongly suggest anyone who wants to speak on Trump to study Sociopathy first!
I agree! But I wasn't speaking on Trump...
They took information warfare one step further, indeed. I’ve called it disinfotainment (https://dnbw.substack.com/p/dezinfotainment-lego-i-minionki-w in Polish though).
The first BBC link doesn’t work. Try this instead (interview with Mr Explosive):

Glory to Iran and the Axis of Resistance! I would gladly kill for them
