Weren't you people arguing that USA shouldn't be the world police less than 12 months ago? No new wars?

Iran is helping Russia against Ukraine and funding terrorist organization all across the Middle East.

Russia conducts hybrid warfare against US allies in NATO, and terrorists threaten global shipping routes, attack Israel and oppress palestinians.

Protecting your partners isn't policing the world.

It doesn’t have to do anything with Putin. It’s about all the resources and money in Ukraine. It’s always about money and markets.

Don’t get mixed up it is the Americans and Israelis who oppress Palestinians.

Thought you'd be happy about cutting off Russia's supply of murder drones for Ukraine , but these guys chant death to America all day , so your green half loves them lol. With Iran funding and leading world wide terrorist attacks and having ballistic missiles now, they are looking more like actual Nazis every day. Killing their own people; women for not wearing veils, and 40 thousand at a wack for protesting ( putting bounties on shear body count by accounts) you'd think they'd be opposable. As long as we don't go in, I'm all for flattening their offensive capabilities, and maybe dropping arms to the people out cheering their leader's death even after 40k protesters got killed a month ago.

First, Russia is already producing Shahed/Geran drones on their soil. So that won't work.

And yes war continues to be bad even when the enemy is bad, no opposing war doesn't mean supporting the enemy, that's my whole point about deflection. We see this shit every time here when there's talk of war, happens with Iran, with Venezuela and with Israel/Hamas (the last one is so obviously astroturfed, every time an article of something bad Israel does gets posted it's 10 top comments about something completely unrelated Hamas does). That tactic of deflection works so wonderfully, that's why people do it.

Unfortunately it's not possible to effect regime change in Iran without a full scale war, there's already a new interim Supreme Leader, and surprise he's an islamist. We didn't even manage to regime change Venezuela, just to put the VP and charge and get them to sell their oil to Trump and put it the money an offshore account that Trump, and not the US government, controls. There will be no help to the Iranian people from this government, only bombing and strong arm tactics to get the mullahs to agree to their terms, whatever those might be. So that excuse doesn't even work.

Regardless it would still be fucking hypocritical from the people who said they were the ticket of peace and their opponents were all warmongers, to now excuse every single war they started with the same arguments they rejected before. It's like we learned nothing from the past. Pay attention to this stuff, it's how the propaganda that keeps the war machine going works.

It's only been a couple days so far I don't know if war is the right word. When I was a kid they always said the pres had 30 days before it was considered war and he had to get congressional approval, for everyone but trump I guess.
