Where’s our proof to support that claim? We are well past the point of just accepting claims because our government says so, or because our Western media outlets say so. So where is our proof to support the claim that “thousands and thousands” were ordered to be killed? Last night, Captain Bonespurs upped the ante and increased the claim to 45,000 killed just in January, apparently. It’s getting really old having to point out that we didn’t have a shred of documentary evidence to support the claim, for example, that Assad ordered hundreds of thousands killed in Syria with chemical weapons (again, for emphasis, zero documentary evidence has ever been presented to substantiate our claims regarding the number dead or the cause of death), while we do mental gymnastics to find new ways to refute the documented death count in Gaza. |
That’s why we help Israel kill the rest of the Iranian! You sure have a case of misplaced outrage for the POS on our side! |
You aren't very bright. This isn't about "sympathy," it is about strategy. Trump's negotiation strategy is bomb first, talk later. The Iranians don't seem to like that to absolutely no one's - except Trump's entire Cabinet's - surprise. Every intelligence report, ever war game in an undergraduate IR class, every middle school debate started with Iran defending it's autonomy and using the Strait of Hormuz as leverage but, somehow, Trump and co are surprised. You can deflect all you want and pretend we have misplaced allegiances. But even the most selfish and self-centered Americans are furious at DT right now, and rightfully so, because of how this war has made their lives much, much worse. |
Exactly, and they are directing the US to target civilian infrastructure just like in Gaza to continue escalation and prevent any chance of trump having an off ramp to this war. |
| So we won the war like nobody's ever seen before, but we're going to continue the war because (drifts off mumbling). Trump's the world's greatest negotiator, but unless Iran gives him everything he wants, he's going to direct that the US commit war crimes. No wonder no country in the world has any remaining faith in him. |
| He’s trying to cover up the fact that he is surrendering because he and Hogsbreath messed up royally. Speaking of royalty, it’s disgusting that King Charles is coming over here- this war we started has ruined their economy. Costs about £100 to fill a car to go see grandma for Easter. |
We’ve already committed war crimes- bombing the girls school and bombing the desalination plant. In fact, they are technically acts of terrorism. |
Maybe Tehran should send a couple of missiles toward that wall that Israelis make every POTUS kiss. |
Ethiopia fought and lost a 30-year war against Eritrea to control the Red Sea. Ethiopia is currently in an ongoing civil war. Why would they fight Israel's war. |
Trump sucks and needs to go, Netanyahu sucks and needs to go, but come on. Numerous independent, credible human rights groups concur that Iran's IRGC and Basijis murdered tens of thousands of unarmed protesters in the crackdown back in February. Get out of your flawed binary thinking. Iran sucks too. Just because we hate Trump and Netanyahu doesn't somehow magically make Iran innocent either. They all suck. |
| Does the Iranian government really care about Trump’s threats? Everything Trump threatened to take away/destroy in his speech last night were tangibles, which IMO, Iran could care less about (including their own people). So USA bombs bombs bombs, Iran suffers some short term/long term pain but this is the war they’ve been preparing for the last 47 years. Eventually Russian or China swings in, Iran is back up, rinse and repeat. |
The US actions in Venezuela and Iran are similar to what Russia has done to Ukraine. |
| One good thing is that Dan Scavino is no longer posting his obnoxious “what a great time to be alive” and “too much winning” on his FB page |
Whether they care or not, why would they ever consider negotiating with an unhinged mad man who continues to threaten them? There is no hope. |
