Why not both?
Thus always to tyrants
Taking out Khamenei like this is the best gift America could have given Khamenei’s extremists. He is now an eternal martyr. A “victim” of America. It’s gonna be so easy for extremists to indoctrinate children.
I mean at some point it stops being indoctrination right? They will just start hating the US on their own, for actual legitimate reasons

We’re supposed to be happy that some Iranian dictator died? … I think for most people that is bullshit. Most of us have almost zero connection to that country, we don’t know the history, and that’s OK, but it also means we don’t need to have strong views about the moral character of its former leader. We can speculate that he was a piece of work, and maybe that’s true, but there’s also tons of CIA propaganda, so we’d have to do real research to find out what the truth is before making any serious judgement.
Shaka, brah!
When the walls fell?
Khamenei and Ahmadinejad dying are the only good things that came from this war. If the IRGC manages to bomb Trump or Netanyahu tomorrow, I’d be happy too.
Not that I condone blatantly illegal wars or strikes, not that I think that killing 160 schoolchildren is okay, but seeing tyrants die sparks joy in my heart.
That’d be an interesting news day
Liberals absolutely leaning towards the first choice from what I’ve seen.
At no time is assassination cool.
- even for bad people
- even for bad regimes
- even if the redneck idol does it
We’ve chosen other organizations for this, lacking only our support to investigate and then remove tyrants. But this shit both breaks international law and abandons its backing. It’s a one-two punch for civilization.
Why would trump not respect and empower objective investigation and punishment for cruelty? Is he worried about something?
They’ve got two hands
When one piece of shit evil tyrant kills another piece of shit evil tyrant, it’s hard to know how to feel. On the one hand, I’m glad one of them is dead. On the other hand, the one who survived is working to destroy the world and now faces one fewer obstacle. Maybe I will defer celebration until they’re both wormfood.
Honestly, the death of Khomenei is a silver lining in all of this crazy bullshit. We all know this attack is unconstitutional, illegal, unethical and driven by bad motives involving Israel and their goal of colonizing the whole area.
It’s like the death of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Will the outcome be the same as in Iraq after Saddam’s death? Only time will tell. But I hope for the sake of everybody that Iran will keep standing up against the U.S. and Israel. Though, I’m fairly pessimistic.
I was sort of hoping that all three would end up dead.
Khamenei can rest in piss, but I really wish he’d dragged the entirety of this administration to whatever afterlife he went to, and without all of the bombing of civilians and children…
I mean, I would celebrate Trump’s death too.
