The best possible outcome from my perspective is for the Iranian socialist state to re-emerge. As anti-imperialists, we can respect the Islamic state for being a thorn in the US Empire’s side. But the real victory is and always has been the emergence of a workers state that could lead the region into an era of socialist republics.

Numerous people are rotting in federal prison with life sentences for possession of marijuana. Biden could use his authority to release thousands of detainees today. Instead, he wants to criticize Russia for imposing a more lenient sentence than the same person would have gotten in the US.

That’s not really the danger here. The danger is creating killer robots that feed on humans. In sci-fi this never ends well.
