Another country heard from … literally.
First, try to wrap your mind around the notion that the Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, has a Twitter account. (No, there is no way of verifying that this account is the real deal other than to note that it has a bajillion followers and that the main version of it is in Arabic.) Besides, who would want to forgo the fun of accepting common-sense advice on civil unrest in our own backyard by the world’s foremost purveyor of civil unrest?
So, assuming this is him, what is the cleric’s take on the situation in Missouri? Several examples of his handiwork follow (h/t Weasel Zippers):
