I know I am, and have been long before TrumpMAGA ever were.
Certainly, even if that means killing ever man, woman, and child in Iran and many many more in the greater region.
. Otay.
Sorry, I can not get on board with that.
So have I. Its part of why I supported Trump to begin with. My grandmother had a very close friend who fled Iran. So I heard about what rheir government was like and how her siblings had been killed. How their life was miserable. How incredible America is. I saw thar movie about the woman who went to Iran with her Muslim husband and he trapped her there and she had to escape. Horrifying.
I had nightmares about that shit. And then I had my own wonderful experience with muslims here. I was really naive and dumb, I didnt connect the muslim dots until later...like even being assaulted like I was, I still took a position like "well his religion wasnt why he attacked me" (obviously I got more informed about Islam as I grew up and started studying it).
The Iranians WANT us to keep bombing. We have wiped out most of the regimes leadership and weakened the regime. As far as i know, Iranians are not being killed from our strikes. The US is really good about avoiding civilians (Obama aside). They are however....still being slaughered by the regime.
We also tried to get weapins to the Iranians but the Kurds took them and ran. So that sucked.
A friend of mine whose family is there explained it like... even if there are civilian casualties in a regime change conflict, its going to be less deaths then leaving the regime standing because the regime slaughters them. They get murdered, raped and tortured and denied liberty. They live in an open air prison under that regime.
Imagine your country taken over by an Islamic Arabic regime and your people oppressed for 47 years and when you rise up and beg for help....everyone in the world validates your foriegn abusers who dont belong there as a VALID GOVERNMENT. When its NOT. I know many feel like Americans just do not care at all about them and wont stand with them. On both the left AND rhe right. Even that they get to see the progressives spit on their suffering and embrace their oppressors and spread propaganda that is harming people.
If BIDEN had done this? Or Obama? Or hell even AOC....if a progressive administration did this? I'd absolutely still support it and defend their actions.
I think one the biggest propagandas about global politics we have been fed is.....Iran is an Arabic muslim country.
Iran is not muslim. And even through DECADES of brutal Islamic tyranny, the Iranians have managed to keep their identity and pass that knowledge and connection to who they are down to their children. I find that incredible.
There is NO down side to a free Iran. None. And there is NO single good thing about that regime being left standing.
Sorry....I get worked up and spicey over this. I hate that regime to my core. It isnt only holding all those people hostage and brutalizing them, it spreads and infects everywhere and so many people suffer because of them. Hamas is even backed and funded by those psychopaths.
Its been diplomacy (fake diplomacy) for years. Its time for them to go burn in hell. The Iranians started rising up, and begging the world for help ..and they have made it clear they want US and Isreal to keep bombing. It would be absolutely criminal if we didnt do anything.
I know im never going to look at other Americans the same way again. Im disgusted with many people I used to like and respect. Like JD Vance.
