    Nobody is out there crowing about the superiority of Iran. Or how Iran is sooooooo great.

    It’s just schadenfreude. It’s a quadruple heroin overdose of schadenfreude directly in our veins. We’ve screamed and cried and protested and called reps and done everything we could for 2 years while watching a genocide live on TV. For 2 years.

    It’s very cathartic to see that evil genocidal pedophile colony get its shit rocked. I cheered watching a hypersonic missile hit the Israeli Pentagon and I’ll keep cheering.

    Israel hit first. They called it preemptive but it was premeditated. Big difference. They punched above their weight now the hit dog is hollering. The very moment Israel sues for peace and comes to the table with concessions I’ll support the violence coming to a negotiated end. And not a moment before. Until then. Pound them into fucking sand. Twist the goddamn knife.

    Chump can get involved if he wants but I won’t go die for Israel. Not for all the money held by the Forbes 500. If they call a draft I’ll dodge it.

    Iran has the right to defend itself.

    Reading through these comments gives me very little hope. There are a lot of dumbasses with dumbass opinions.

    Yeah watching Iran and Israel fight I don’t really feel bad for either side. Does suck for the civilians in the middle though.

    I think a lot of people are glad that Israel is actually attacking somebody who can fight back now instead of more innocent defenseless children in their open air death camp.

    It’s not so much cheering on Iran, but not giving a shit about Israel. Like, Israel just attacked Iran, they reap what they sow.

    Reminds me of the irony that the country that turned the tide against Nazism was the country that killed, displaced, and imprisoned almost the whole indigenous population.

        Have you ever seen a map of Russia? You think a country gets that big peacefully? Look up the income disparity between the Moscow / St. P west of Russia vs the vast majority.

          The Russian Empire didn’t genocide the entirety of the continent in pursuit of a white ethnostate, unlike the US. Surely it did harrowing stuff because, I mean, medieval regimes, but as of today, Russia is vastly more diverse than the US, and it has many regions with non-slavic ethnicities constituting a majority: think Yakut, Tatars, Mari, Chechen…

    I was just banned from world news by @geneva_convenience for daring to voice this outrageous opinion. This conflict is Gilead vs Nazis. Neither side is the ‘good guy’. Whoever wins, freedom and equality loses.

    Last I heard Israel was striking military targets in Iran, so I guess I’m out of the loop here. And here I thought they might have actually decided to not be a Russia for one goddamn day. I shoulda known it was too good to be true.

      no we don’t. Israel goes after other countries if it wins, as they thing they should expand. Iran does not.
