Ah yes, the poor innocent dictator minding his own business while killing thousands of protestors.

But in the case of an actual dictator who murdered thousands of protestors it is reasonable, right, just, and civilized. Shed no tears for the deaths of tyrants. They would happily see you and any other threat to their illegitimate power put six feet under.
Yes our president has only needlessly murdered two innocent US citizens so far. As he has told us countless times, he would like to be a dictator.
There's quite a difference between saying you would like to be a dictator and actually being one.

At some point you have to decide: if my country is held back by a brutal dictatorial regime where civilians can't hope to topple it, is there anything else to do other than get external help?
Which Arab countries are better after US intervention? The last place that had a dictator is now ruled by ISIS.
Iran is not an Arab country? Answering a more general question - all countries of former Yugoslavia are better after US intervention. Some Serbs would not agree, but it's on them

#105The Iranian diaspora around the world is celebrating. Here's the scene in Berlin: https://youtu.be/NSbx_0mtk80?si=MJ_Bfvx8gVd1P1mm They've waited a very long time for this moment!

Trump would very much like to be, no denying that, but he isn't there yet.
Regardless, dictators deserve to be put into the ground no matter where they are.

#107This claim and the offer of immunity may be intended more to reduce Iranian resistance than to represent reality.
(I would not rely on immunity from a nation that left collaborators on the tarmac in afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam?)

#108America and Israel are lawless countries. Can you imagine other countries assassinating a foreign head of state and not getting immediate blowback?
> America and Israel are lawless countries.
The truth of the world, as much as we may hate it, is that at least at the state level might makes right.

There would likely be millions of Americans celebrating the murder of their current president, should that happen. It doesn't mean it's reasonable, right, just, or civilized, nor would it indicate that it was a unanimously supported action.

Your worldview is not an appropriate substitute for objective reality :)

#110I wonder how old the rest of the commentators are. I watched the Shock and Awe campaign. I watched Saddam fall. I remember thinking this is great. Years later, I understand it was a complete folly. Removing Saddam in itself was good but what it did the wider region was not good.
This will be the start of something that never ends
