CNN’s Van Jones urges “progressives” to “get on board” with bombing Iran:

“I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is. Iran is not a normal country,” he said on air.

Jones did not share whether he considers Israel—an apartheid state currently committing genocide—a “normal country.”

We need any advice from. It’s always the same, a portion of the Democratic Party supports these foolish interventions, then, when they predictably go sideways they blame it on tactical errors or deception.

Anybody remember when he talked about Trump's 2017 speech when “He became President of the United States in that moment, period...That was one of the most extraordinary moments you have ever seen in American politics."?

Justice matters.

given the current state of not only doing nothing significant enough, but just making things worse by denying the problem and keeping the bombs and the oil burning everything essential to life.

Hey, Van! If you think this is such a great idea, get your stupid ass down to the recruitment center, and enlist, so that YOU can fight for this bullshit you want us all to get behind. Go on, Van! Be all that you can be! Until then, shut the fuck up.

their biggest proxy. We are the most dangerous regime with the most dangerous weapons. We attacked a sovereign nation that didn't attack us. They were willing to go to the negotiating table just as Saddam and Iraq were but we lied and refused to negotiate. I do not give a damn what we print in the history books, if you lived during that time and are honest about it you will remember when all that happened. It was Israeli planted propaganda all about "yellow cake" and WMDs. This is a repeat of the same kind of BS that we are still paying for all to give Trump his "Obama moment" in the Situation Room. But we should always remember that Obama went after a man, not a nation. Even the people of Iran who hate the regime can't be ok with this.

Trump and Bibi are war criminals in every sense of the word and we are fools if the world allows them to get a way with this.
Van should just stop trying to be accepted by whites. He will never be.
