A Muslim guy killed a bunch of people in a bar in Texas. Would he have done that if we hadn't killed the leader of Shia Islam?

Donald Trump once threatened to disinherit any of his children if they joined.

Last post by claws - Today at 01:26:03 PMCopilot usually has issues with bruises and wounds when I request anything fight-related, but doesn't mind the red stuff when doing slashers (even when I don't specifically ask for blood). Surprised it included some for this one.

Last post by Alex - Today at 12:48:40 PMSo an ayatollah is dead. Someone who oppressed and killed his own people. Personally, I won't shed any tears for him, but will it change things for the Iranian people? The guy was 86 years old, so I'd imagine the regime must have been prepared for the possibility of him dying at any time. Will someone more moderate be elected in his stead? Seems doubtful. History tends to suggest that when a highly oppressive regime attempts to soften its stance, people don't like the slow pace of change and will rise up with more protests, which tends to end up bringing the power structure down. The USSR and Warsaw Pact countries fell that way. Anyway, my suspicion is that we'll see another hardliner elected. Will the strikes embolden the general population to rise up and overthrow their oppressors? I remember around 20 years ago seeing several protests from Iranians asking for the West to intervene after one of their presidential elections. Yeah, we were already hip deep in Iraq and Afghanistan at that point and didn't have the capacity or political will to get involved in a third war.
Of more immediate concern is the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Yeah, the US fleet has enough firepower in theory to sink the entire Iranian fleet, but insurance underwriters have made ships travelling through that region uninsurable and that means over a fifth of the worlds oil supply has just closed off. In accordance with the laws of supply and demand oil will now go up in price. The predicted price rises are at levels where airlines will be unable to make a profit while flying. All the other usual costs will increase.
On the plus side, I'd imagine this attack will indirectly help Ukraine. If Iran is preparing for war the won't be able to send as much to Russia as they have been, I doubt the US is planning a ground invasion though so it might not have as big an effect as one might hope.
If trump really wants to bring down Iran, I suggest he installs himself as the next supreme ruler. Pretty sure that'd do it.

Last post by Rev. Powell - Today at 11:41:32 AMEROTIC GHOST STORY (1990): Three sisters (animal spirits in human form, not ghosts) fall in love with the same scholar. Another lusciously shot and costumed softcore period piece from Hong Kong cinema's golden age of exploitation that lives up to its Category III designation and takes a bizarre detour into horror in the third act. 3/5.
