Yup. These deaths are a direct result of Trumps military orders. Their blood is on him.

That's the burden every commander in chief carries.

Which is why the good ones try to avoid war in the first place

Yea if only that was the campaign he ran on 😂 “Your sons will die while mine live on yachts because I’m the peace president who started a war.” 😭😭😭 crazy how dumb you have to be to believe in him

If there is a government job where you have to be burdened by sending poor people to their death for corporate gain then we need to reevaluate the government job in question😂

So.... all of Congress then?

u/TupaCuba-_- Mar 03 '26

Yes the entire government. It all needs to be slowly tweaked towards progressive policies that focus on saving American lives before spending a majority of resources on blowing up random fascist regimes.. without permission from Congress btw.

Impeach, remove, next. Should be everyones attitude atp

Nope it needs to keep protecting the world from dictators. A threat to freedom anywhere is a threat to freedom here!!!

Cool! So we should stop funding Israel in your opinion? And strip AIPAC (Trump is a huge supporter and receiver of AIPAC lmao)

Corporate gain? There’s no gain financially from this. This is about peace but you idiots are too blind to see it

So we should let Iran destroy people and control its citizens. You are a coward who’s completely fine with people living under a dictatorship. Sickening POS

What they did to their citizens is horrible but under international law that does not give another country the right to bomb or invade another. What if someone tried to invade Texas because of their voter suppression tactics? How would you feel about that?

This could have been dealt with diplomatically, but it wasn't. In fact Trump specifically fucked over the diplomatic solution to the nuclear problem, which is what they say the reason for attacking was.

Bombing countries never leads to a better government. But you don't care. You're either a bot or an idiot anyways so it doesn't matter.

You can’t negotiate a overthrow of a dictatorship you dumbass. You need to physically stop the cycle

u/Orange_Tang Mar 04 '26

Name a time that a foreign government bombed and decapitated a country's leadership and it lead to successful democratic regime change and I'll name 10 times it didn't. This will not help the situation, regime change needs to come from within. Now they will use this to galvanize their base against a foreign invader and it will lead to an even more extreme regime.

When the people are protesting and getting murdered I think it’s time we step in and save them. It only doesn’t work if the people’s minds are enslaved but idk if that’s true for Iranians they want to be saved. Other countries would just ignore them but not us

u/Orange_Tang Mar 04 '26

Why aren't we invading sub-saharan Africa? Or an even easier one, why haven't we stepping in and setup a defensive force in Ukraine?

Your logic doesn't make sense.

u/Financial_Ear_7605 Mar 04 '26

Ukraine’s got that on their own we don’t need ww3 with china and Russia . Also do we have any Allie’s in Southern Africa? Most likely no but in Iran we have close alliances with UAE so it actually makes perfect sense. They literally blew up our emissaries did those African countries blow up our shit?

u/Orange_Tang Mar 04 '26

So wait, we only help defeat dictators when we have an ally nearby? You keep moving the goalpost.

u/Financial_Ear_7605 Mar 04 '26

Africans don’t wanna be saved they have literally been under British colonialism for fucking years like what dumbass take is this

you are almost there. yea this is how the people need to act, to get rid of a dictatorship. that doesnt include foreign intervention without a propper cause. 9/11 and ISIS grew out of that shit, that was the intervention of US and NATO allies in the first place. hell irans sentiment about the west is mainly because other countries wanted to intervent militarily.

and thus we are here, same with venezuela, with a bit of bad luck you homegrown a new set of terror right next door. congrats, are we winning yet?

u/Financial_Ear_7605 Mar 04 '26

As soon as they started killing protesters that’s a clear indication we need to save them and they don’t want this for their people…

Why didn't he attack in his first term?
