After America attacked them, sure, and in any case they aren't even attacking America, so again, why is America involved?

1979-1981 - Tehran, Iran — 66 Americans held hostage 444 days 1983 Apr - Beirut, Lebanon — 17 Americans killed (U.S. Embassy bombing) 1983 Oct - Beirut, Lebanon — 241 U.S. military killed (Marine barracks bombing) 1984 Mar - Beirut, Lebanon — 1 American killed (CIA chief Buckley kidnapped, later killed) 1985 Jun - Beirut, Lebanon — 1 American killed (TWA Flight 847 hijacking) 1989 Jul - Lebanon — 1 American killed (C…

Would be stronger with a source. Otherwise, it feels on the border of being potential AI slop.

The US really pulled a Russia with this "special military operation".

both wars are equally unjustified, but the US has lost what, 20 people per hour of his war.

> the US has lost what, 20 people per hour of his war

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Russia's economy and military have been flogged by their war in a way America's has not. Moreover, we have midterms this year and a Presidential election in 2. Moscow has no similar 'fuck it' exit option.

Because Iran attacks them relentlessly by proxxy? Hoothis, Hezbullah, Hamas, etc. It also wars with the kurds and had some fun in afghanistan? Iran is not passive - iran is active, a wannabe us (lets call it micro-satan) - that wants to do what russia did along its borders.

Still none of your business

Persian gulf is everyone’s business.

> Because Iran attacks them relentlessly by proxxy? Hoothis, Hezbullah, Hamas, etc Iran doesn't use any of these to attack America. You seem to be confusing Israel for America, a common problem in American politics.

Iranian proxies are responsible for well over 1,000 American deaths since 1979, and there were dozens of foiled plots on American soil and hundreds of individual militia attacks in Iraq and Syria, directed by Iran.

For reference, how many times has the US interfered with Iran's government and how many people in Iran has the US killed since 1979? That's the only way to get a fair view of this discussion. Just wondering if all this happened in a vacuum or, god forbid, Iran maybe has some reason to dislike the US.

Russia is actually gaining people in this war. The occupied territory they intend to keep has a prewar population of 10M.

That would be true if they were keeping the native population there alive. We know they were importing presumably loyal people from deep Russia. What happened to original occupants? You can guess.

1000 Ukrainians for 38 Russians. Such exchanges with similarly lopsided ratios happen every couple weeks.

My personal opinion is that, it's because with the previous political and cultural trends, West had (maybe still has) actually quite high chances of collapsing and falling in the long term due to its own indecisiveness, lots of words mixed a lack of actions against coordinated and targeted efforts of Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Belarus, Cuba, China, Syria and North Korea. I remember national state TV in Russia talking a…

> So, USA recognized the danger and started dismantling the problem piece by piece, to ensure a long term peace and safety of its people. Could it be better organized and coordinated with allies? Probably, yes, but the meaning stays.

By becoming part of the problem? Trump threatening to invade Greenland was a wake-up call for Europe. Actively supporting forces that want to tear down democracy in Europe isn’t particularly helpful either.

If we become like China and Russia then why is our civilization in any way better?

Wasn’t that in response to Trump posting that he’d hit theirs? https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-live-hegseth-and... > In a Truth Social post on March 30, Trump warned that the U.S. would obliterate "all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalinization plants!), which we have purposefully not yet 'touched.'"

> Wasn’t that in response to Trump posting that he’d hit theirs? It's Iran. They haven't been following international law since 1979. That isn't an excuse to commit war crimes against them. But Iran really doesn't have any legs to stand on when it comes to complaining about targeting civilian infrastructure–they and their proxies have been doing this for decades.

Just claiming something doesn't make it true. And also there's the whole scale thing.
