Speaking with “60 Minutes” correspondent Bill Whitaker, Harris was asked which nation she considers “to be our greatest adversary.”

“I think there’s an obvious one in mind, which is Iran,” Harris replied. “Iran has American blood on their hands. This attack on Israel, 200 ballistic missiles.”

“What we need to do to ensure that Iran never achieves the ability to be a nuclear power, that is one of my highest priorities,” she added.

Whitaker followed up, asking, “If Iran is building a nuclear weapon, would you take military action?”

“I’m not going to talk about hypotheticals at this moment,” said the vice president.

So Iran building nuclear weapons was the greatest adversary and also a hypothetical. very-smart

Libs hate the very idea of bombing Iran now though.

In an alternate timeline where KKKamala is currently head of the regime, all the libs who now claim to be disgusted by "Trump's uNcOnStItUtIoNaL war on Iran" would be cheering and accusing each one of us of antisemitism and being terrorist supporters.

Harris would've had access to the same intel for the entire Biden administration as Gabbard did when she said Iran hasn't pursued a nuke since 2002. Warmongering with Iran specifically, and murdering Muslims generally, is the shared value of all American politics. Obama solidified it as bipartisan.

Under Kamala:

  1. "We have intelligence that says Iran has WMDs"
  2. "We're forming a committee to assess action"
  3. "The committee of Iraq and Afghanistan war criminals deems that we should strongly consider action. I am taking this under consideration."
  4. "We're going to increase military presence in the area while we decide."
  5. "We're going to tactically target nuclear proliferation sites using Raytheon's new LLM designed and guided missiles."
  6. You are here

Same shit.

It feels good not to be a genocide supporter. Well, it doesn't feel bad, and these days that's pretty good.

Fair and true

People on here pissed they’ve been dead ass wrong about ‘handing it’ to the racist maga coalition for being anti-war

Did everyone forget Suleimani?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's kinda wild how many people's reactions to this is "Kamala would have been worse" like motherfucker there is no worse at this point

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Insane levels of cope when nobody ask for the cope about some hypothetical considering the literal event is happeni g right now.

This being the top post is so dumb

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm sorry if my posts bother you. I never had any expectation that Trump would improve a single thing. I would never vote or support for someone remotely like him in any way. I am only trying to remind the libs about what they should have had a problem with when democrats were in power, if they have a problem with it now. Because this stuff was really upsetting to me at the time and I don't think libs remember it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

The libs are literally irrelevant right now, in 4 years they did nothing against Iran comparable to the Suleima i murder

I hate America so much

I personally think that with harris as president they would have escalated more than they currently have

I could swear I read about a Yemen invasion plan the Biden admin had ready to go in January if they'd won

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

I think we would’ve been directly at war with Iran weeks ago

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They would've gone through the "legal" channels with unanimous approval from congress/aipac

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago

they would've bothered to find another colin powell to lie to the UN

Does anybody else hate the way the media in lib "democracy" interviews politicians? And frames "debate" on TV? It all has this fake kayfabe about it, and always feels off.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

you’re correct in that feeling cause it is fake lol

Why is she painted as the bad guy now that Donald Trump is fucking everything up? Trump went and bombed Iran, not Kamala. Why the fuck are they talking about Kamala now?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

she isnt painted as the bad guy. she’s painted as the good guy while also being the bad guy. this post is to show that despite what all the liberals say about how things would have been different, just like with gaza and israel, you look at her position and its exactly the same as trump’s

any liberal lamenting the loss of harris has been proven wrong yet again and that’s the point. the election was all a show. the same capitalist powers controlling trump control kamala. the only difference is that kamala would have been sending trans bomber pilots

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

sending trans bomber pilots

to a pit in antarctica. let's not get ridiculous here.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

nah kamala would love to sacrifice a trans person’s well being while painting it as her being progressive and inclusive

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

damn that's an extremely valid point. objection rescinded.

"If KaMAlA WeRe PrESiDenT, we'd Be aT BRunch!"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

Because libs are taking the moment to say "I told you so" about Trump being uniquely evil and starting a war.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (2 children)

The article is from October, if you’re asking why it’s being posted here now I’m guessing it’s to show that Kamala may have done the same thing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

Harris would do it with decorum. A classy bombing, and polite ice raids

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

indeed. iran is a bipartisan issue, same as border fascism. a harris administration would perhaps not do literally the same things like this or specific ICE raids, but they absolutely would be (and campaigned on) doing more border fascism than republicans and given the fall of syria, iran was going to be next up on the decades long project of destabilizing and subjugating the region.

we can look at secretary clinton, france, and the destruction of libya as a model for how the same ends are achieved in a brunch-safe way.

a harris administration would perhaps not do literally the same things like this or specific ICE raids,

I mean....

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago

ICE would be deporting twice as many people, but they'd be quieter about it and the media would be dead silent on the topic. They wouldn't be letting "the cruelty is the point" get in the way of ruthless efficiency.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

the brunch crowd cares about the optics too much for them to do exactly the same things.
