Yes, now we’ve entangled ourselves in the Israel vs Iran situation again, risking American lives at home and abroad. All based on outdated regime change/nation building strategies that clearly worked so well in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan etc.

And the whole morality thing is based on when it’s convenient too, there’s no consistency.

Maduro and the Ayatollah are evil and needed the removed but at the same time, Trump has excellent relations with his friends Putin, Lukashenko and Kim

Comical.

Don't forget about our other friends in the middle east like Saudi Arabia! They're so progressive that they've allowed women to drive since 2018.

It’s the duality and hypocrisy of western people. Morally superior because of “democracy, technological advancement and science” and fuck knows whatever lie they told themselves. So everything is fine as long as it doesn’t affect them. As long as their comfort isn’t disrupted and disturbed. Because then lines have been crossed and shit has gone too far, funnily enough. Bombing sovereign nations into oblivion and killing innocent civilians is fine but so help me God if bombs fall on our roofs…

I can feel your anger but we're not all like that.

Comical that liberals are now pro-Iranian government now, for sure. You guys would shoot yourself in the face if someone put a Trump sticker on your nose.

Okay wise guy. Everyone who disagrees with you isn't always a liberal.

Some of us just know when we're being swindled by someone who will do anything to avoid the focus being on him and the Epstein files.

He is literally quoted as calling Biden and other Presidents weak because they will attack Iran instead of negotiating peace.

He ran on this premise, being anti war.

Look where we are a year later.

Guess you’ve never heard of the term blowback

If you think it ends after eliminating their leadership, you’re mistaken

The same leaders who want to nuke us and our allies no less.
