      Link didn’t work for me but I found it through the Bret comment below. I don’t know the guy – but now I read the article I remember reading something from him before, and looking him up on wiki because I thought “WTF NYT?!”. I guess he is the voice of conservatism / MAGA in the NYT. So yeah, it’s rather strange that they would allow a voice like that in their newspaper, but I guess that’s the journalists’ compulsion to show both sides of a story even if one side of that story smells rotten AF.

      That being said: the Irani regime is horrible and they have been killing their citizens for weeks now and have been suppressing them for much longer. Thousands of innocents are dead. Something clearly had to be done to stop the bloodshed.

      If it were anyone other than these two old war criminals attacking the Irani regime, I would support it as well. But of course the issue is that these old farts are using it as an excuse to increase their power in the Middle East.

      Europe should have stepped up their game, but as always, they were as slow as a constipated turd moving through a rectum. And now it’s too late.
