We've got ourselves a brand new regime change war,

Trump and Israel, bombing Iran in the early hours of Saturday,

for the second consecutive time in less than one year,

and doing so also for the second time while pretending to engage in diplomacy.

So they fooled us once and they fooled us twice and now we are in the midst of

another crisis in West Asia launched by the guy who came to power claiming to be against regime

change. Right. Yeah. And somehow he's going to try to pretend that this was preemptive and that

this is consistent with America first.

All right. A lot to get to. Let's kick it off with Meet the Depressed.

Good Sunday morning. The world is on alert. With the United States, together with Israel, launching a war with Iran,

with airstrikes across the country starting Saturday and continuing into Sunday morning.

Honestly, this is such a low bar, but it's actually kind of a nice change to hear the media not call this a retaliatory war, which is what they, or retaliatory

strike, which is what they usually do. But this is just so undeniably instigated by the U.S.

and Israel that they can't use their preferred euphemism and they can't shift it, shift the blame

onto Iran like they usually do.
