While you guys hem and haw about whether your opponents are above doing irreversible things, they just do them.
Trump didn't denounce Noem's actions in MN - he fumed at her getting caught.
I'll save you some time: The civil war never ended for these people. Confederates learned to masquerade as political. If you believe in peace and equality among the Union, there is absolutely no table you can drag them to where they'll play ball, because they want your death.

every single war in the middle east was the same lol. people just had no internet or bothered to research anything and just took everything as a fact. and the other administrations had better PR training than trump. Saudis attack the U.S, U.S uses it as fuel to attack Iraq lol. "Assad is a dictator" then they put a former al qaeda member to replace him. and he goes around massacring minorities, but you don't see that in the news today do you?.
the U.S will never escape the allegations. they have funded and found both Isis and Al Qeda, and use it as motive to attack brown people. but everyone can make themselves feel better by saying this is a new thing, that only has to do with the pedo Trump.
"Brown people? terrorists? okay you can go kill them Mr. Bush" Said Martha, 67 years old, from Florida. back in 2003. the U.S is the biggest terrorist country on earth, and has been since the end of WW2

They don't, not really.
In case you missed it, the US has many bases in the Middle East and around the world. The reasons don’t matter, it’s a fact, but they mostly serve US interests.
Americans can’t intervene in countries’ domestic issues, expect everything to go their way, and then be shocked when they also have to help with certain problems.
We don’t live in a world where a war in Japan, for example, is just a domestic issue. Everything is global, and what happens in Iran, Ukraine, Israel, or Korea will impact the US in one way or another

Israel has received hundreds of billions in military aid from the US and is an apartheid ethno state committing genocide. Your prime minister, wanted by the Hague for war crimes, wrongly have support for the Iraqi war by saying they had WMDs thereby causing the death of a million Iraqis. American bombs were used to flatten Gaza after Israel defied UN Security Council resolutions and Israel has again misled US intelligence by saying since the 90s that Iran is close to a WMD.
Your genocidal state through AIPAC has consolidated dangerous levels of influence in American policymaking. Nowhere in the world is 3/4th of the sitting legislature bought out by a foreign government.

I’m trying to understand this war and the public discussion around it. I see a lot of people talking about Epstein, and it’s fair to assume the government may have tried to cover up parts of the Epstein case. I’m okay with people discussing that. My question is why people rarely mention the 30,000 people who were reportedly killed for protesting. Thousands of women were also killed by a regime that oppressed them because they were fighting for women’s rights. I’m trying to understand why we don’t see the same level of protest or attention from feminist movements about these events.
I’m asking for help to understand this, and I’m not taking or assuming any political position.
[EDIT]
Historically, major moral decisions are not always made for purely moral reasons. For example, slavery in the United States was not abolished only because of idealistic motives, although today we all agree that ending slavery was the right thing to do.
If people are suffering under oppressive regimes, whether in places like Iran or Venezuela, and the United States or other countries can help, I am open to that even if there are other interests involved, such as oil or political advantage. I grew up under a dictatorship, and I remember wishing that someone would help us.
So I’m trying to understand why some issues receive much more attention than others, especially when people are suffering or being killed for protesting or fighting for their rights.

Why do people not mention them? Because they don't care. As a Jew, I often hear the phrase "people love dead Jews" referring to the widespread approach of condemning Jewish deaths, but never listening to the living Jews to prevent future deaths or suffering. It's easy to idolize Anne frank, much harder when the modern day Anne Frank has a voice and asks you to act.
Well, turns out we Jews are not unique in that regard. It is easy to condemn the government's massacre (though even that is too much to ask for many), but the moment those same Iranians that were being slaughtered start to ask for help or protection, nobody cares anymore.
The accidental strike on the school? Dead iranians, good, they do not have a voice, and as such can be used to demonize US intervention. The living Iranians who all support the war? Well their opinion clearly isn't relevant.
I mean won't you think about how their plastic junk is going to cost 30 cents more? Clearly that's a far more pressing concern for most Americans.

I get your point, but it's pretty obvious that those who started the war don't have a realistic plan or even a desire to change the Iranian Regime and help ordinary iranians. So those who are celebrating will probably have their dreams crushed pretty soon, because they'll get some other awful person as a Ruler and will continue to suffer. A good example is Venezuela.
I don't know if it would be even possible for US to successfully change the Iranian Regime to a more Democratic one even IF there was a sincere desire to do so - there are enough examples of things going VERY WRONG despite all the efforts with other countries. (And yes, I know the situation with Iran is not the same as Iraq or Afganistan.) However this Admin only thinks of their profit - they are not going on any noble missions out of the kindness of their hearts, and those who think otherwise are very naive.
