As much as I wish I could agree that he pulled through…
First paragraph: great. If only the post ended here.
Second paragraph: I’m gonna… uhm… increase the coordination with the repressive state apparatus to Increase Safety™.
Third paragraph: Anyways, we as New Yorkers don’t really have to fear any retaliation from Iran, so no worries, you can go back to brunch after you express your dissent on social media.
And don’t get me wrong. It IS a genuine improvement over “Maduro is a dictator” approach to US foreign policy, so critical support is due.
I feel like the third paragraph is definitely directed at Iranians worried about getting hate crimed considering the US’ history with this sort of thing.

Oh shit, I actually missed that he said Iranian New Yorkers. I retract the point about the third paragraph then. The post is not bad actually.
This is the best you will get from an american politician, be glad he is not condemning Iran for defending itself!
Exactly.
