    More than 50% of the US voted for this.

    About 100% of the US have no issues with this. Or when did you start opposing your government in another form, instead of complaining online? Other governments have been overthrown for less.

    Anyways, fighting for the US or Iranian army is quite stupid nowadays. Nothing “proud” if you fight for a fascist or religious leader.

        People who don’t vote are part of the problem. That’s how democracy works. I know, ‘muricans struggle to understand this concept.

      The Iranians are fighting for the survival of their country against the nazi pedophile coalition. thet are in no way comparable to those fighting for the nazi pedophile imperialists, despite many aspects of Iranian governance being unsavoury.

        Okay just ignore the fact that 30k protestors were killed, the oppression of literally anything for decades and the killing of anyone who raised the voice against the Supreme Leader.

          I was going to give a proper reply explaining the historical and geopilitical context, but I realized it would be like arguing witth a German in 1941 why I want the Soviet Union to win the war rather than the Reich, so I’ll ixnay that. May Iran continue to strike hard at the American and Israeli aggressors, and may they humiliate the nazi pigs for all the world to see.

            Oh I agree, Israel has to be gone, and the fascist ‘muricans, too. But I also don’t mind that Khamenei is dead, as religious extremists are not one bit better than a zionist or nazi.

              I’ll take moderate shia theocrats over nazis any day, but I digress. The truth is that Iran’s government has hardline factions and moderate factions. Outrside aggression makes the hardline faction stronger, and if America just left Iran alone, the moderates would eventually be predominant and Iran would eventually moderate into a secular or quasi-secular state.

              However, at the same time the moderates are also the more neoliberal faction, while the religious conservatives are more economically progressive - kind of like Sharia law social democrats, in a sense.

                And you know what is funny about all the shit Israel now caused? The CIA is actually very good at overthrowing foreign governments from the inside. It probably would have worked for Iran, as there are too many people remembering the good old Persian days. But Bibi and his right wing Jews just made everything worse, even for the citizens of Israel and Palestine.

                  The plan of economic sabotage and infiltration probably would have worked, but they’ve gone and shot themselves in the dick. They just can’t help it!

      It was under 49% of under 66%, or 32%, tops who voted for this. Still heinous, but I suppose that doesn’t fit the narrative of “most Americans are terrible!”

      By your logic, Europeans 100% don’t have any issue with what America does because they fall in line and do America’s bidding most of the time. Otherwise, they would have effectively changed their government(s) to one(s) that do not go along to get along, instead of just complaining online, right?

        Sure. Just ignore what Germany does, because their Chancellor is a dipshit, too. Now tell me again what Spain did recently? Seems like you forgot that majority of Europe does NOT play along

        Oh fuck off. You know what would have been a real easy way to stop these cunts? If fucking American dipshits had gotten off of their fat fucking arses and voted against him. The American people are solely to blame for these arseholes, nobody else. Own it.

        Why should I? You are aware, that there are people living outside the borders of the US? And they all give zero fucks.
