The facts suggest two interpretive frameworks for Iran: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the U.S. Join my live conversation with Phillips P. OBrien, 12:00pm ET, via link in profile

@PhillipsPOBrien Really, you can’t think of another explanation?

@PhillipsPOBrien Please take your meds. not everything is about US domestic politics. Iranians deserve freedom from a murderous regime which by the way you dumb dumb was also a major pillar of the Russian war on Ukraine. Absolute intelectual garbage from you.

@PhillipsPOBrien This is a conspiracy theory. You have fallen far

@PhillipsPOBrien

@PhillipsPOBrien Really? You can't think of a more intelligent analysis? Sounds like that analysis is a self-serving appeal to your priors.

@PhillipsPOBrien Your ‘interpretation’ suggests you don’t have a clear command of the facts. Start over.

@PhillipsPOBrien Trump is a very very desperate man looking for a way to hide the fact he is the most corrupt incompetent dishonest and unpopular President of all time .

@bannerite @PhillipsPOBrien And 2 things can be true at the same time—both irrevocable, deadly & worthy of impeachment.

@PhillipsPOBrien Sorry this sound a bit paranoid, TDS infection, a pity for such a brilliant mind

@PhillipsPOBrien And not even a pretense of adhering to any Congressional or Constitutional restraints, a President who routinely says "I can do whatever I want" -"I can destroy a country."

@PhillipsPOBrien Excellent analysis. Thank you, Timothy. "Given the stupefyingly overt corruption of the Trump administration, one must ask whether the United States armed forces are now being used on a per-hire basis" [to further the corrupt objectives of Trump and his cronies].

@PhillipsPOBrien Go back to your fetish of watching innocent people hung in public square.

@PhillipsPOBrien In the First 2 Gulf Wars there was a lot's of talk of 🇺🇸 "Soft Targets" around the World. 🇮🇷 certainly has Sleeper Cells & alliances with Terror Groups. Western Hotels, Cruise Ships, even McDonald's stores were targets. Why isn't Trump warning 🇺🇸 Citizens about vigilance?

@PhillipsPOBrien We must not take every decision of Trump as bad, the Iranian regime has destroyed the lives of hundreds of millions of humans in decades.

@PhillipsPOBrien Also, distraction from the Trump-Epstein files…

@PhillipsPOBrien This was expected and it is very obviously the grand plan of staying in office like Bibi. 😭

@PhillipsPOBrien 🎯 The danger here is that real strategic objectives take a backseat. Success or failure is measured politically, not militarily—so conventional metrics of “winning” don’t apply.

@PhillipsPOBrien Where is that tinfoil hat…?

@PhillipsPOBrien Americans need to act now to save their democracy and themselves from a terrible war.

@PhillipsPOBrien Trump derangement syndrome. You used to be smart

@PhillipsPOBrien That sounds utterly weird. Iran is the pillar ally of Russia. Once down it will have an impact also on Russias war in Ukraine.

@PhillipsPOBrien Another mind broken by Trump.

@PhillipsPOBrien None of them I am afraid. Its a bigger geopolitics game.

@PhillipsPOBrien

@PhillipsPOBrien So, where Putin bombed apartment buildings in Russia, Trump is bombing apartment buildings in Iran.

@PhillipsPOBrien Would you have used the same franeworks if Trump attacked Russia to free eastern Europe from a tyrant?

@PhillipsPOBrien You are creating a fantasy diversion.

@PhillipsPOBrien Probably both.

@PhillipsPOBrien @jpaternotte @thijsreuten @KatiPiri @kajakallas @JayinKyiv @Isa_Yusibov @rutgerbregman

@PhillipsPOBrien #Putin HAS THE COMPLETE #EpsteinFiles & #Netanyahu DOES, TOO!!

@PhillipsPOBrien The entirety of the next 9 months for him: holding congressional power in Dec. Futile without election subversion. He's deeply unpopular & Dems will landslide the mid-terms without every type of f*ckery imaginable. All actions between now & then concern this & personal corruption

@PhillipsPOBrien Either comment on the Israel role or just go away, bad historiography is much worse than none.

@PhillipsPOBrien Sweet photo eh

@PhillipsPOBrien No discussion of Israel?
