It's very clearly sarcasm and mockery. But he's sliding further and further off his rocker. The timing couldn't be worse. If we didn't already look like villains, twirling our mustaches and ranting about how we will strike civilian infrastructure will do the trick.

At this point we need to focus on directing the backlash in the most productive direction. Israel is a pariah on both sides for the younger generations. And you can already see them trying to posture controlled and compromised people like Newsom as being the anti Israel choice.

Edit: I love how initially it was framed as liberating the Iranian people and now it's all about how they'll be sent to the stone age lol
