Iranian state media has confirmed that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed during the strikes the United States and Israel conducted on the country. NBC News' Gabe Gutierrez reports from the White House on what impact the leader's death could have on the country and region.
First two months of 2026: The US kidnaps one country’s leader, murders another, and kills hundreds of civilians in two failed regime change attempts.
Death to the burger empire.
The scary part is how they succeed in their objectives. I’m still not over Maduro’s kidnapping and how they pulled it off. It’s freakish.
Kidnapping Maduro didn’t accomplish any of their stated objectives in Venezuela. It looks like the White House didn’t even confer with energy companies about the viability of expanding their oil production?! They flipped their script immediately afterwards and claimed they won. You’d have to be a doomer to believe it.
Although, it’s worth noting that this was largely a stunt. The US did not have the ability to actually invade Venezuela or to topple the government.
These sorts of attacks is what the US military has been investing in capacity to complete for decades. This is why there has been an investment bleeding edge tech which costs insane amounts of money to develop.
The real battle happens before any shots are fired.
You’d be surprised how long dead ideas live
