GOP Senator Declares Iran Leader's Future 'Limited' As History Rhymes Without Irony
Republican Senator Tom Cotton, a consistent hawk on Iran, declares the future of Iran's leader 'limited,' as Trump 'leans towards action.' This sentiment echoes precisely the rhetoric preceding interventions in Iraq and Libya, where 'limited' meant 'regime change opera, starring chaos and instability.' The Independent spotlights this saber-rattling while forgetting to mention that Senator Cotton
received $84,500 from NORPAC (a pro-Israel PAC) in 2022 alone, an entity frequently aligned with calls for confronting Iran, according to OpenSecrets.org. One might observe that the 'future of Iran's leader' often becomes 'limited' just as certain defense contractors' stock futures become 'unlimited.' The only consistent 'action' from Washington seems to be recycling the same failed playbook,
pretending each time that this time it's different. How many times must we hear the preamble to a 'cakewalk' before acknowledging the quicksand?
