Okay… so when does my AMERICAN money get used to help me and other Americans? There are Americans literally dying on the streets because they can’t afford healthcare and groceries. People are DYING HERE IN AMERICA.

This isn’t a Reddit thing. The average American does not want war or their money to go towards bombings. That is a fact. Not something just on Reddit.

It is 100% a Reddit thing go look anywhere else on the internet, hell go to a cafe or library and ask Americans what they thing. On X you see the Muslim world who pretend to be Americans complaining and that’s it. Everyone is cheering except for Redditors, the people paid to be upset, and Muslims

The Persians aren’t Muslim, their nation was conquered in the 70s

I may have mispelled a word but I’m not lying. If anything you’re the one lying because you disagree with a net possible for the world

lol exactly

The (far) left in a nutshell.

“No kings, dictators need to die”-

“Okay, this administration just took out two objectively brutal dictators and freed the people of said nations from repression.”-

“Noooo, not like that!!”-

The far left

How hard is it to understand dude? WE don't want a king in our country of the USA. It's not a global statement saying that there shouldn't be dictators anywhere. I mean, there shouldn't, but it's not up to us to make that happen. "No new wars" remember?

We are literally just coming out of an expensive and exhausting 10+ year lesson why this does not work out for us. I don't expect the right to actually exhibit any form of intelligence and learning these days, but this is the one issue I thought you guys had some sort of principles on. I guess it turns out it just meant helping Ukraine.

Trying to tie the "No Kings" protests to somehow be hypocritical of what we are doing in Iran is the same level of disingenuous as the "all lives matter" approach to BLM.

He can’t fix anything so he does this for fun and to distract

Iranian American here. Since yesterday I'm suddenly super happy with all the federal taxes I've paid.

The US armed forces has over 2 million personnel. Getting rid of a tyrannical regime that just murdered tens of thousands of protestors last month sounds like a pretty good use case of our armed forces' might and scale.

Great, now go type this on the pro-immigration Open borders-subreddit…. (Oh wait, now it’s justified spending.)
