    It’s so weird that there is a war going on and I am fully rooting for Iran

    Mind you, the Iranian people, like all people, are awesome, I just hate their theocratic dictator leadership, like I hate all dictators and wannabees, like the Cheeto

    So here it’s dictatorship vs. dictator wannabees, but the wannabees kinda want to subjugate the entire world so fuck them with an umbrella

    Go Iran, go!

      To be fair, Iran briefly had a democracy. The elected leader immediately started to nationalize the oil industry. Obviously, The Great US Empire had to immediately regime change him.

      The reason most countries opposing The Great US Empire have autocratic regimes is evolutionary pressure. The countries who tried to go with a democracy either became vassals of The Great US Empire or got regime changed into chaos or an autocratic regime by The Great US Empire.

        This has become a trope. See US and Guatemala 1953. Or any other number of countries throughout the world who were stomped down by the corporatocracy that is the USA.

    That’s not true at all, there are plenty of wrecks in this military adventure
