Adam, you are such a disappointment. You really think this is about freedom for the Iranians? Give me a break not with Bebe involved. I used to admire you but no more.

WHERE IS CONGRESS? Trump is waging an illegal war in Iran, and Americans are dying. Article I belongs to the People, not the President. Email, Fax or USPS Congress to demand an end to the strikes & immediate accountability: resist.bot/petitions/PA... 🚨🇺🇸 #WarPowers #NoWarWithIran #Impeach

Hard no. This is the most reckless, poorly thought out and potentially devastating action any American president has taken in my lifetime - not selling W short here. And it has absolutely nothing to do with freeing the Iranian people from an evil autocrat. For f's sake, Trump is an evil autocrat.

Okay. Hope in one hand and spit in the other-which do you think will fill up first? I want what you do but you know better than any of us that IRan was ready for this always.

Starting an illegal war to force regime change is reprehensible. And there is no guarantee it will work when civilians are killed. Surgical strikes are not always precise and public non-military facilities do get hit.

Spoken like a true chicken hawk-neocon—that worked out so well. You f’n people need to get over the idea that military force solves anything. The flag officers in my family would appreciate it. Trumpedo, on brand, killed a school full of girls today in the name of a despotic regime (Israel). Shame.

Hopeful? Gtfoh. Bombing Iran is beyond stupid. I’m sick of my tax dollars being used to kill people. Also, are you for real? You think this is going to “free” the Iranian people? The only thing it’s going to do is kill innocent Iranian citizens.

Oh, #FuckOff. As if the cruel infiltration of paramilitaries in Iran over the past 45y will just hand over their weapons and give up. Wake up. The USA just bombed Iran into even more suppression. Even more executions. WHEN DO YOU F-ING USAMERICANIANS LEARN YOUR LESSON? YOU DO NOT OWN THE PLANET!

They're almost certainly going to use GPT to plan operations, they made clear this week that they want lethal force without human approval in those decisions, and a Kings College study found that GPT escalated to nuclear war in war games 95% of the time. It's extremely hard to remain hopeful

Adam, no. This isn’t about “freeing the Iranian people.” It’s about distracting from pedo-files, keeping Benji in power, and giving Yam Tits the excuse he’s looking for to suspend elections (like Benji). Don’t excuse this.

It's worth saying that millions of Iranians have been pleading for help. While I agree this is part distraction from Trump, this regime in Iran is awful and was actively murdering its population. It's not about "excusing" an illegal war, but we can hope that it will free the Iranians still.

Agreed. The problem of course is that “the regime” is a complicated web of humans reaching into every sector of Iranian society. Air power alone is not likely alone to dig out that entrenched power. And it may now entrench itself further.

I don't think "further entrenchment" is possible based on the Iranians I've talked to. The hardliners already massacred tens of thousands in January. Dismantling military capabilities and organizing might allow for Iranian civil society to organize enough to emerge as an alternative power structure.

Impeach and remove Trump, Vance, and the entire cabinet of liars and warmonger profiteers. This is not what Trump and his friends promised. And the Trump statement, "Some of our troops will die for a noble cause?" I don't see his kids in the military sacrificing for the good of the people.

I don’t think this is about freedom for the Iranian people and I am worried about their citizens. All they have done is to take out one 86 year old man in a long line of successors. This was removing the cap , not decapitating a regime . Trump is ready to blame the Iranians if no change occurs .

When you can’t rape young girls, why not drop bombs on them? There is ZERO moral justification for this illegal action and the ONLY response is to end it immediately. Freedom for Iranians must come by their own hand, not those of genocidal lunatics and convicted felon rapists.

Adam, stop being naive for goodness sake! Whenever has bombing people ever been a successful outcome for the common people. Your pervert of a President needs to face his own people. Coward that he is.

But what is the endgame? It's one thing to bomb and say regime change but who is going to constitute this new regime? It doesn't seem like there is any plan at all other than destruction and upsetting the world order. Our new Middle Eastern buddies must love us now after being bombed.

Not good enough Adam. You're in a position to say what all this is about and it's not freedom for the Iranian people. Sad that some Americans might loose their lives in this mess.

NO. This decision was made without the voice of the American people. Our tax dollars are being used without us (our reps) weighing in on the decision. This is obviously a distraction from Epstein, but that aside, Trump ignored the constitution. We killed children, Adam. This is NOT about freedom.

Same tired rhetoric we received with the Afghanistan and Iraq regime change wars. US military is great at destroying a government but poor at building a durable replacement. This stupidity is only dropping bombs without boots on the ground. It will lead to a worse outcome than the status quo.

Jesus Adam, “Where you stand?” Bibi pulled us in to “obliterate” their nuclear program and yet that’s the reason again? Bibi is a war criminal for slaughtering Gazans and FOTUS should be for ordering the murders of Venezuelans in boats, while his Brownshirts kidnap immigrants and kill US citizens.

All bombing does is help the regime as Iranians are not going to overthrow the regime as they are under attack by two foreign nations, both long hated by the country (with a lot of justification) I have family buried in military cemeteries on 3 continent, I supoort none of this.

NO. What you should be saying is that Trump acted illegally and all the generals that have carried out these unconstitutional and illegal orders to attack a sovereign nation. Any & ALL military personnel in the region must be pulled back immediately & a full investigation launched into these crimes

With trillions spent and countless lives are the people of Iraq better off now? And we killed over a hundred thousand civilians there. We are seeing our own democracy slipping away every damn day. But we're worried about regime change there?

Exactly how is that going to happen with no arms against an entrenched armed government structure? Better lesson for the American people is taking note the vast majority of Iranians put this theocracy in place 47 years ago and see how hard it is to get rid of it now? Watch and learn.

what did DT to "help" the Iranian people succeed? Restore internet so they could communicate amongst each other? No. Find a way for them to overcome the Iran Revolutionary Guard? No. He's done nothing but take one person from power, with no obvious replacement. It's about money and distraction

Here we go again: Republican double standards — where the end justifies the means. Acting without Congressional approval, based on the same lie of “weapons of mass destruction,” and without NATO backing. Political hypocrisy at its finest — the very DNA of modern conservatism.

You “think they should’ve” come to congress for “something like this”???? War???? Yeah. I “think” the constitution says something about that…ffs what’s wrong with you people

Not our job to liberate ppl from their leadership that we dont like We dont have money for snap for children but now spending 10s of millions because king chetto canceled a treaty with Iran could not get a new one America is not here for Trump’s personal use. Scotus was wrong making him a king!

the only thought I have is that grudges are held for generations; sooner or later, reciprocal force will be meted out, and we have- in their hearts- justified whatever death toll they inflict. nobody wins here- there is no 'successful outcome' possible.

Power now shifts Saudi takes claim as #1 Qatar, UAE, Kuwait grow richer More politicians get bought off Israel sleeps a little better Iraq still hands over billions every year to it's protectorate- USA Who will run Iran's oil sales and make the billions I vote on that Kushner kid, bloody hell

Frankly I don't see much difference in the outcome than last year. We'll do some damage, set them back some number of months. Piggy will claim it was obliterated. But Iran will still be a problem.

What about our freedom ? Killing innocent protesters, controlling freedom of speech , press and freedom to gather and protest , trying to control the elections , journalists jailed ! That's not just in Iran , that's happening here and that's the convicted felons doing !! I am Vet , our freedom 1st!

Thank you Adam for bridging both sides. Jefferson, like Cyrus 2500 yrs earlier, knew Liberty is an inalienable right. Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds will guide the Persians to rebuild a #FreeIran.

This military operation has nothing to do with freeing Iranian people. Of course we all want that... but there's nothing about the structure of the attack of the planning for the day after that sets up liberation. The motivation is distraction, exploitation, chaos, control, not values or safety

Sad to see this stance from you. Historically when ever the U.S. has cause a regime change to another country it comes back to bite us in the ass. Not to mention Trump is far too much of a coward to actually attack any country with the ability to send a missile to the White House.

Isn’t this another impeachable offense? I’d like to hear your thoughts on what he could do to actually get removed from office. Like seriously, is there anything at all that would lead to his impeachment and removal?

When did an invasion from usa or freedom bombs improve any lives besides the oil barons and military industrial complex? Besides wwii all usa interventations ended up on disaster.. this is like russia atacking ukraine.. it doesn't matter the iran government is bad.. usa is not better

Ok so once United States have finished with Iran. Are you heading over to Turkey,free the people there. Then head to Africa. You cannot dictate how a nation lives or does not live. You want sanctions fine,but u cannot dictate a regime change,if that was the case we should attack Washington.

We have no reason whatsoever to think or believe that the people running this operation are acting 1) in good faith and 2) in any way in the interests of the people of Iran. There is no reason to put our heads down collectively and hope for the best. See also, Trump Steaks, University, Water, etc.

Dumb take, sorry. Trump is desperate (low approval, Epstein Files) and Hegseth loves dropping bombs. Bibi and Donald would be in jail if they weren't Presidents. No noble considerations started this unconstitutional war. People from other nationalities will die too. The US needs regime change.

Adam, geeze. You kinda took all the good things you've done away with this comment. I guess once a republican always a republican. Not interested in your substack. This comment was enough

The only people who "stand" for the war on Iran are the stealth actors with an agenda. They're already sprinkling them all over media. In fact we were just treated to the "liberal network" platforming a "retired admiral" who is a lifelong macho warmonger from the private war profiteering industry.

That’s where we disagree. I hope the US fails miserably and loses a few ships. For Iran I hope they get their own determination without more US interference as any sovereign nation should. Constitutional congress and a complete gutting and revamping of American rules is long overdue. Lead that

Word Freedom and Trump/Nethanyahu does not belong together. There will not be any freedom in Iran under Trump's Governing USA. There isn't even freedom in US anymore.

I wish the Iranian people better days ahead. But the truth of the matter is that majority of the population are Shi’a Muslims and they have deep hatred towards the American government and their Sunni monarchs

Too bad you haven’t learned the lessons of previous conflicts. I’m not from the USA so Im not brainwashed & can see clearly the devastation & fallout; YOU are the terrorists, slaughtering innocent lives on made up bs. None of this was for Iranian freedom.

I'm on your side, dude, but here's the problem: "Freedom" for Iran prolly means restoring the Shah's son to power in Iran. That's not an improvement. The Shah and the Savak made the Iranian revolution happen. Putting Shah 2.0 on the throne pretty much guarantees another Islamic revolution.

Yeah, but no, it’s NOT the US, it’s Trump, and you need to wake up to how he is playing even you with this. Of course Iran’s leader was evil, but ours is too. Politics won’t cut it. The fact is, Trump just got a lot of people killed unnecessarily, and he has no plan to actually promote freedom now.

Sorry, Adam, but trying to manage the narrative right now isn’t gonna work. People are seeing very clearly and speaking very frankly, and it is what has to happen, even if it isn’t in line with AF preferences and propaganda. We don’t get freedom by falling in line. The ends do not justify the means.

No, Adam. We need Senate Republicans to vote on the WPR that would stop Trump from continuing to put American servicemen and women in further danger. Trump need to be slapped back hard, and soon. There is no need for this war, he has no authority to wage it, and that needs to be made clear NOW.

I don't believe for one second that Trump did this for Iranian freedom. Trump doesn't give one shit about freedom. There is no end game here. If the Iranians want freedom, they have to achieve it themselves. That's how true freedom comes about. You fight for it. We can't give it to them. If 1/2
