Ok, I did win. Do I get cheaper gasoline now?
That's it? Momentary gasoline price is all that matters now? Not geopolitical interests, alliances, _Doing The Right Thing_? If that's the only angle you care about, then US subduing the Iranian regime would go a long way to de-facto dissolving OPEC and bring much more flexibility to oil prices.

What if it happens as a result of trying to hold someone worse responsible?
> someone worse You do not get to decide that. If we allow everyone to invade other countries and murder leaders because they deem those people worse than themselves, the world will be engaged in endless war. Or do you think perhaps deciding who to invade and kill is a special privilege reserved only for your country, which should be emperor of the world?
yes. we got the bomb before they did, because our policies are better than theirs.

What part of "doing the right thing" is bombing an all girls school?
Do you think some evil military planners sat in the Pentagon, saw that school, said "let's shoot at it for shits and giggles" and pressed the button? Or are you trying to pollute a grown up conversation with sensationalism and punchy hooks? In reality someone made a mistake. It can happen. It should be investigated. It should not deter from achieving the military objectives.
Why shouldn’t he believe it?
You people believe the same kind of crap when you're told that X (insert the current boogeyman de jour) hates Murica and wants to kill you all.

The school was hit 3 times by precision rockets. The compound of the school physically separated from the military buildings since 10 years. Clearly visible on sat pictures. Trump's reaction? It could have been anyones Tomahawks missiles. Is that where your information comes from, that there was a missile launcher next to it? Oh and are you aware that Trump once said he will intentionally kill the families of terrori…
I agree with you, but i want to also ask, have you heard what the ayatollah and the mullahs have said about killing Americans, dismembering protestors, raping children, nuking the United States. Have you heard the protestors mowed down by machine guns, have you heard they make you buy the body of your loved ones for the cost of the bullet, assigning that value to their life, have you heard that they literally living…

Or machine gun defence when you're protecting tens of thousands of Iranians from the Islamist regime. The difference is the US had bad intelligence and acknowledges it's a tragedy. The regime intentionally murders by the thousands and would murder more if it wasn't thwarted by the US and Israel. And somehow you're more upset about the former not the latter. > Since the beginning of the 2025–2026 Iranian protests, the…
I agree with you. Also one where you try to prevent olympic athletes from being publicly hanged by islamists.
Or when you try to detect lies from the islamist republic of Iran: for example when they said they didn't have long range missiles and they now just tried to attack targets 2000 km away. The intel was right after all.
But there's an issue in the west: some people hate free people and their own west so much that they prefer to side with islamists, with Hamas, with people chanting "from the river to the sea", that they'll only half-condemn Oct 7th saying it's "resistance", that they'll refuse to see when groups of people refuse to integrate into the US, that they'll never condemn a mayor of major US city saying "it's now time for US citizens to follow the teachings of prophet muhammad", etc.
And don't get me started on those saying the islamist veil is "empowering" for women and a sign of "tolerance". Moreover it's coming from those who happen to on the same side that constantly criticizes "toxic masculinity". But criticizing the most patriarchal culture and religion of them all? "Won't hear / Won't see / Won't talk".
It's never-ending. Their hatred for half of the people in their own country make them side and root for absolute evil.
To me there's a word for such people: they're traitors. Plain and simple. And they're definitely my ennemies.
I cannot be friend with someone condemning a US missile landing on a school but not condemning islamists killing 30 000+ of their own people and publicly hanging olympic athletes.
Plain and simple. And they're the ones who should look deep down in their soul to see how dark it is, not me.

> We tried the nuke deal and they lied and kept building This is a lie. A complete fabrication. Trump says this, completely baselessly, without a shred of evidence, as known liars are wont to do. They allowed inspectors in and not one of them ever suggested they were violating the terms of the deal. > How many have to die for us to decide to act. This is a murky question, but if anybody was going to intervene in a co…
Do you believe that other countries should be allowed to defend themselves from the import of Khameini's Islamic Revolution?
Or did you not know that this was his openly stated purpose?
How many people have to die before you start blaming the international community for inaction or worse, you start to feel that the international community is complicit because they prevent one country from acting while another funds terror attacks with impunity?

We’ve seen with Palestine that human suffering, unfortunately, does not motivate Americans like gas prices do. So it’s not a reflection of my priorities so much as something to point to to get people to stop supporting Trump’s policies. At the end of the day, we have heard the same thing for a decade. Ignore his tone, ignore his words, ignore this or that policy, because the economy is/is going to be great. When the…
> human suffering, unfortunately, does not motivate Americans like gas prices do. Absolutely right. It also makes sense most people will care about something tangible like gas prices than the lives of other people half way across the world. But this doesn't mean that half way across the world there isn't something truly urgent that needs dealing with. I honestly don't know what will come of this war but I do know wit…
The US defense apparatus has been doing just this for quite some time. And netunyahoo has been saying Iran is 'weeks away' from having nukes for 30 years, now.
Opinion? israel has some real juicy stuff on trump, and he's doing his best to not get the information released by doing netun's bidding. I am thoroughly appalled at trump's General Officers allowing him to get into such a mess.

Buddy you've got like 10 top-level comments on this thread are you doing okay
Better than ever! Getting some awareness raised. This whole post should be flagged, and people need to quit crapping on the people of Iran by trying to make this a Trump thing.
How, just how, is it NOT about trump?
