For the prospects of the freedom and subsequent prosperity of the oppressed Iranian people, peace in the Middle East, and safety of the commercial shipping routes, I fully approve my tax dollars to the matter.

For Pakistanis as well ?

I'm honestly not informed about what's happening with Pakistan. I know there's a ton of tweets about this, but it's not in my scope at the moment.

Do you really believe killing 175 children[0] will bring peace and prosperity to the Iranian people?

That is an unrealistic goal. Likely the actual goal, as dictated by Israel and the Jewish Lobby in the US, is to destabilise Iran long term in a sort of Syria situation, so they cannot threaten Israeli hegemony in the region. Remember even a non Islamic Iran is still a threat to Israeli power if it remains unified and intact.

I don't agree with your perspective, but I do support Iran no longer being a threat to anyone else in the region, no matter what.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

JD vance whined that we shouldn't protect middle east shipping lanes because he believes it helps Europe more than the US.

Don't make me defend JD vance. He said Europe should pay their fair share for protection since 40% of their trade passes through those lanes but only 3% of America's.

Yeah that’s the likely outcome given our track record /s

Venezuela is undergoing tremendous freedom and hope. My fellow Venezuelans and I are super grateful for the well-planned, surgical mission of the US. They can have all the oil they want and help restore our industries in exchange for their financial benefit and partnership, which is the most recent track record.
