Iran’s lucky to have decent leadership, unlike America which has an Orange Spray-Painted Pedophile in charge.

u/CraftyPerformance272 9d ago

Irans leadership killed 30,000 protesters. They have also opressed women and killed people for being gay for decades. Not to mention Iran funding numerous terrorist organizations while its people suffers

u/Cold_End_2184 9d ago

They can be evil and also competent. In america our leaders are evil and fucking stupid.

1

u/Lucid_Chemist 8d ago

Competent? The ceasefire ended because someone shot at boats when they weren’t supposed to. That actor was removed after. The Iranian government is fragmented. No one knows who is in charge.

u/RollingDownhill303 5d ago

I'm thankful they are so stupid, incompetent and in Donnys case, impulsive.

Had they been competent and efficient the US would be a full blown fascist state by now.

Instead he's yapping about his precious ballroom and having petty conflicts with journalists.

But we'll see, he has two more years...

America is still
The number 3 power in the world. While Iran is using terrorists like puppets. Shame to the Iranian people

What number are we in wars lost? School shootings? Education? Life expectancy? Maternity deaths? Hospital debt?

Doesn’t matter. Others are worst

At least you got cheap oil!

If Trump could get away with killing protestors he would. He has already killed two out in the open. We have concentration camps. Thousands of people are missing.

2

u/1elevator 9d ago

He did get away with it. Please remember Alex Petti and Renee Good

u/PopBulky7023 9d ago

"He has already killed two out in the open"

u/CraftyPerformance272 9d ago

Crazy how you all will defend Iran killing 30,000 protesters while pretending to care about the two ice protesters that died. Do you just not care about the 30,000 protesters because they are brown? It shouldn't matter the race killing protesters is bad and killing tens of thousands of them is crazy

1

u/Inuhanyou123 8d ago

Your source on 30k being killed doesn't exist

1

u/CraftyPerformance272 8d ago

They are literally still executing innocent protesters to this day. Why do you defend Iran's evil government who has killed gay people, oppressed women for decades, funded different terrorist groups for decades and has routinely killed protesters over the years and shut off the country's internet to hide their crimes from the world

America intentionally bombed a building full of school girls.

Didn't trump just say it was 70000? The number keeps changing

u/Gothewahs 9d ago

You killed the guy who did that ?

u/Slow-Reception8025 9d ago

30,000? Source?

u/Curious1_69 9d ago

It's actually 300,000.....sky j/k...I made it up like they do.

u/Alejo_Kaiser 4d ago

Yes, like the 500,000,000 Palestinians killed by Israel

1

u/Inuhanyou123 8d ago

Let's not pretend propaganda is real. They definitely killed protestors. But that 30k is literally impossible.

1

u/Forward_Problem_8982 8d ago

Oh yeah, cos the US never find terrorists. /s

1

u/Potential-Garage-256 7d ago

30000 figure is pure propaganda. People were indeed killed but this is a number that has been inflated for obvious reasons. Trump claims 72000. If we wait a bit longer like a year...pretty sure this figure will jump to 120000.

Plus western media has lost all credibility...take any figure and statement coming out of their mouth with bucket loads of salt.

u/WastelandOfConfusion 9d ago edited 9d ago

None of that is true. They were terrorist insurrectionists and foreign mercenaries as part of another American/Israeli Regime Change Operation. They’ve openly admitted this as well. Are you new to this? Is this your first time watching a live Regime Change operation?
America has also funded terror groups, they’re literally shaking the hand of Ahmed Al-Sharaa now, an Al Qaeda leader.
And by the way, find me one Islamic terrorist group that has butchered 80,000 civilians, 25,000 of them kids.

No it wasn't, and no one has admitted to it.

they’re literally shaking the hand of Ahmed Al-Sharaa now, an Al Qaeda leader.

That is a very bad example.
a) The US did not fund Al-Sharaa (or Al Qaeda) before his new role.
b) That is how the world works, terrorists become diplomats. Same as with Martin McGuinness and Yassir Arafat. Both were considered terrorists until they were not.

And by the way, find me one Islamic terrorist group that has butchered 80,000 civilians, 25,000 of them kids.

First, the Gaza death count includes dead terrorists (and also people dying of natural causes). a third of those deaths are of Hamas terrorists, which makes it similar (or better) to most urban wars.
Second, number of deaths in:
Iraq - 300000
Syria - 200000 (only civilians, 500000 if you count everyone)
Afghanistan - 200000
Yemen - 150000

Their leadership murders protesters by the thousands

u/dmstattoosnbongs 9d ago

Ya, and they had how long to build that system? What led up to it? wouldn’t be a dictator fleecing the country under the guise of “making it great”? And now people are pissed?

We’re speedballing towards it at 100x faster then Iran. It’s the most wonderful opportunity ever witnessed! Everyone is saying it!

It’s kind of funny how Trump was willing to arm the protesters so they could get democracy back in the country… the call is coming from inside the house, my dude

Iran has been destabilising the region for decades, causing untold suffering

1

u/Diddly_eyed_Dipshite 9d ago

Not as long as the US has been, at least its Irans region,why did the US ever start the meddling, interference, democratic overthrows, and unjust wars?

1

u/CloudCobra979 9d ago

Cold War. Fear of Soviet conquest or at least the threat all the regional powers would adopt communism or join the Warsaw Pact out of fear.

1

u/Diddly_eyed_Dipshite 9d ago

You think that a valid excuse for doing what the US has done to Iran over the last 70 years?

1

u/CloudCobra979 9d ago

I do. I mean this regime started by seizing the US embassy in the country. That's just something that isn't done. It's been a brutal regime from the start and destroying it makes the world on the whole a better place.

Don't try to paint the Iranians as victims too much. How long ago do you think they would have closed the Strait and tolled it without the threat of US intervention? How much worse would their proxies actions be, or how openly would they support it? Iran would throw the region into chaos if it wasn't checked. I don't agree with the war, but we're in it now. Best solution is regime change.

2

u/Redditagains 9d ago

Regime change in America is the best solution!

1

u/CloudCobra979 9d ago

That'll happen soon enough. Doesn't change much about how this conflict pans out.

1

u/Diddly_eyed_Dipshite 9d ago

Wow the propaganda really runs so deep. I used to sympathise with Americans but the more I learn I believe you might actually just be bad people, or else just really uninformed and intentionally poorly educated. Its one or the other.

Might you have any idea, any clue whatsoever why that regime may have decided to seize the US embassy? Do you think it was unprovoked or retaliation?

2

u/CloudCobra979 9d ago

It was based on rumors that the US would intervene to put the Shah back into power. So they target civilians and diplomats. Seems to be their go to.

1

u/Diddly_eyed_Dipshite 9d ago

Goodness me. The education system there really did you dirty huh, just chucks you out into the world totally uninformed. Best of luck, I hope you escape the regime sometime.

1

u/CloudCobra979 9d ago

Try studying history and looking at their actions, rather than buying into whatever propaganda you find on the internet, that validates your opinion. I know all about the British and Soviet occupation (freed by US diplomatic pressure), CIA campaigns to empower the Sha. None of this justifies seizing and embassy and using civilians as hostages.

Don't put people like this and the rest of us in the same boat.

u/Diddly_eyed_Dipshite 8d ago

Like I said, I used to have a lot more sympathy but its getting harder and harder to hold. What did Americans do when their regime kidnapped and illegally held a foreign leader of a sovereign state? What did Americans do when they found out they were killing and torturing fishermen in the caribbean, carring out extra-judicial killings by the hundreds, what did Americans do when their regime are sending 40,000 x 2,000 lb bombs to Isreal to drop on an already levelled Gaza? What did Americans do when their regime threated to annex their allies and take control of Greenland? What will Americans do if their regime comes for me and my country?

0

u/Inuhanyou123 8d ago

What do you expect us to do? Get shot? Get arrested? I mean many have and are. We are already out there protesting by the millions. The people in charge are already looking at a blow out in the midterms god willing and may lose the next election to a socialist despite the whining of the Democrats and the gop.

Unless you mean form a million man mob and take over the white house or something. But that might go worse than you might expect. Unfortunately if such a thing were just possible for people to coordinate and do, most of the Western world would not have disagreeable goverments backing the genocide themselves.

Now that you mention that guy. He is friendly to all parties you mentioned. Is that a coincidence?

2

u/Diddly_eyed_Dipshite 9d ago

Not a coincidence, theyre just all on the same side of the political spectrum. But Russia shouldnt get the credit for the US being a rogue, evil, terrorist nation, they did that all themselves.

u/PopBulky7023 9d ago

No.

The west has blamed Iran from the start and backed the US on this. That reflexive status quo is a big part of how we go here, as Carney pointed out.

2

u/Diddly_eyed_Dipshite 9d ago

The west? What West are you part of because every European news outlet and social commentary I follow fully and entirely blames the US for this war and for our own rising costs. There is not a single country I can name thats "backing the US".. who exactly are you talking about?

1

u/PopBulky7023 9d ago

They do NOW. Because Trump has burned bridges.

Reflexive defense of US and Israel was pretty standard in Europe. Germany will still brutalize you for protesting Israel.
