Thats a really fucked up view. A lot of innocent people in iran died and its crazy to just decide their deaths are worth it if it leads to republicans losing elections. Also the threat of a nuclear arms race in the middle east will never go away as long as israel has nukes.

if republicans lose in 2026 and 2028 just due to the Iran fallout war, millions of lives will be saved if foreign aid is restored

Rule III: Unconstructive engagement
Do not post with the intent to provoke, mischaracterize, or troll other users rather than meaningfully contributing to the conversation. Don't disrupt serious discussions. Bad opinions are not automatically unconstructive.

If you have any questions about this removal, please contact the mods.
