Honestly, what makes us the world police? I don’t want protestors killed, but dropping bombs in schools is not the help they need.

Ok but the Iranian regime killed between like 15k and 40k protestors. That has been reported by many independent organizations.

Jesus you people are really just living in your own heads huh? What are you even replying to? I pointed out that one of those facts is wrong, that’s it. Go complain to someone else who actually said something on the topic.

I mean, sorry if I misread your intentions, but your phrasing in such a thread in response to the OP appears to make a statement. You are also aware that the people cheerleading this war are echoing exactly what you said, in essentially the exact same words.
No need to be a dick.

Go read the rest of the responses to my original comment. All the crazies are being crazy and I’m reflecting that energy.

Goddamn it, we fucking know.
If Trump was trying to rescue them from the Iranian regime, he sure has a weird way of going about it, yeah? The only thing he’s been bitching about is opening the strait. He’s even threatened to bomb Iran “back to the stone age where they belong” his words, if they don’t comply. And “kill an entire civilization”, doesn’t really sound like a good way to stop the murder of civilians.
Iran committing violence against their citizens is reprehensible and should be condemned. Obviously. But if you really believe that’s why Trump is waging this war, you should consider the overwhelming evidence that he’s been played by the Israelis and his sycophant cabinet is too scared to tell him it’s a fucking horrible, stupid idea, that will only serve to harm US interests in the region. If the Iranians benefit in any way from this war, it’s an unintended consequence. He’s a moron with a god complex. He has ZERO care for the Iranian people, because he only cares about himself. That’s all he’s ever cared about.

If Iran killed 400 trillion protestors, bombing them still doesn’t appear to even follow the beginnings of a plan to help rescue that country from an oppressive regime. You’d want international relations and spycraft that develop confident dissent in their government, and show them a better way of life.

yall are like rabid dogs. You just get one little whiff of something and then make up the rest in your own head. Where did I dispute anything else, or show support for anything else?
I literally pointed out that one of those “facts” is wrong. Obviously Trump is beholden to Israel (because of Epstein) and the oil lobby and MIC, and he’s crazy bla bla bla. I shouldn’t have to say that in every single comment. Y’all are really something. Learn to read.

If I misread your comment, I apologize. It’s not easy to dig through every comment thread and map each person’s replies to the claims they’re making in other threads. If you were simply disputing the number quoted in the meme, that wasn’t clear.
I’ve been conditioned by lots of other online interactions by insane right wing MAGA lunatics to read that as a whataboutism argument, a bias I’m realizing is creating a lot of confusion here.
