      Trump did this last term too, we killed their intelligence chief when he landed for peace talks with Iraq.

      This is a war crime, BTW. Attacking someone under a perceived state of truce or ceasefire is called “perfidy”.

          I still remember 2017, when Donald decided to drop the MOAB on Afghanistan and Fareed Zakaria praised him effusively on CNN.

          Guess he learned the lesson.

      This is the second time they’ve bombed Iran during peace talks. I know it feels like a million years, but it only happened last June.

      Who the fuck would trust America with Donald Trump on charge. Dude lies to he’s suit tailor. That’s how vain he is. Add in the fact that he’s being blackmailed into this and is a pedophile. I wouldn’t trust trump to watch my dog for an hour, let alone nuclear war.

      A trophy, photoshoot and bribe for stolen land, all paid by working class. Brilliant. Art of the deal - never trade with your money, lives are worth nothing (on wall street)

    Iran signaled thgat they were going to give them everything they asked for so they attacked instead. They never wanted a deal, they wanted a reason to start a new zionist war on the American taxpayers dime.

      Iran already had a nuclear agreement with the USA and other countries, which Trump tore up during his first term before he bombed them. Then a few years later they’re about to agree to his replacement deal and, as they prepare to sign, Trump bombs them.

      No one will want to negotiate anything with the USA after Trump’s behaviour in the past year. No agreement with the USA is worth the paper it’s written on.

        This just taught the world when dealing with the USA you strike first. I’m of the mind this is the start of WW3 now because I doubt the other BRIC countries don’t get involved.

          What? None of them are going to do that for Iran.

          Also what are they going to do…? Even the UK is attacking Iran at this point. And almost every other country doesn’t actually give a shit. And hated the Ayatollah.

          Even Iran is going to respond halfheartedly.

          This is why the bullies are doing it.

    US: “You can’t enrich uranium!”

    Iran: “We reluctantly agree to this term.”

    US: Bombs Iran anyway

    We live in a clown country 🤡

      That’s not entirely what happened. Though you do live in a clown country.

      After US withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal, Iran did continue to still follow the terms for quite a while in hopes that the US would once again rejoin (presumably).

      Then the US assasinated an Iranian general or major, could be mistaken. Either way, they assasinated someone. Iran, shockingly, wasn’t all too impressed and quite upset about the whole ordeal, so they said fuck it… if that’s how you wanna play, we’re gonna do whatever we want.

      And then now, you have US and Israel both striking Iran, with the justification that Iran was “about to strike us first”.

    I can just see this happening while literally negotiating at the table. Like US and Iran are there, the mediator mediating, someone walks in and whispers into the US sides ear, they say carry on everything is fine and continues. A few minutes later someone walks in on Iran’s side and whispers into their ear and they freak out.

    Good. Iran needs to change. The regime is too oppressive killing any Protestant how can anyone expect change other than violence. It would be good for the world too, no terrorism and more western Iran would great.

      Just because an end result can be positive (this is yet to be seen here), the means to that end are highly arguable. The US is not, despite what they seem to think, the world police.

      Just like with overthrowing the dictatorial former president of Venezuela, this is not the US’s place.

      This backpack (CW: Blood) belonged to an elementary school kid who was killed yesterday after the U.S. and Israel targeted her school.

      Take a look at the picture, and tell us all again how it’s a good thing.

      Because if the last 25 years have taught us anything, it’s that the US going to war with Islamist nations creates regional peace and stability…

      Good. USA needs to change. The regime is too oppressive killing any minority how can anyone expect change other than violence. It would be good for the world too, no terrorism and less racist ICE would be great.

      FTFY. Maybe start preaching at home.

      Edit: fixed it even more. Also that account is a sleeper troll from the post history seems like, but I stand by what I said.
