      Kamala literally said that Iran is one of the greatest threats… Just look at their foreign policies instead of domestic ones. You’d see that there is not any difference between them at all. Only reason that liberals care about Trump is that he’s mean about it and that’s the extend on which libs think this issue ends on.

        Thinking people are opposed to Trump invading Iran, or opposed to Trump in general because he’s “mean” is misguided at best. If Trump had gone through the correct channels, and gotten congressional approval for the “strategic combat operations” weve been involved in, nobody would have anything to complain about (other than the obvious “no new wars” and higher gas prices, but thats a different topic entirely). Trump acts as though he has absolute power in the seat of the executive, and has unfortunately surrounded himself with loyal cronies that wont tell him no. I dont give a fuck that he’s mean (it isnt even that he is, he honestly acts like a 1st grade playground bully), but I do give a fuck about him following the law, being held accountable when he doesn’t, and that he follows correct etiquette when making decisions that will effect the entire country.

          I don’t know I think killing hundreds to thousands of innocents is still bad even if the US pedo elite signs off on it collectively.

          This is why most of the world hates you btw.

            Sorry I shouldve probably said “we’d have less to complain about”. I dont support us getting involved in another war in the middle east, I support that idea EVEN LESS when we start a war in the ME without using the proper channels. And I cant disagree with you there, we constantly get involved in shit around the world that we shouldnt be, and that nobody has asked us to, in the interest of “spreading democracy”.

        Acknowledging that they are our greatest threat is not a commitment to do anything. Democratic presidents have always been reactionary to threats. Iran was not doing anything new or different at the time that Trump started bombing the snot out of them.

      This situation is literally downstream of a democrat committing genocide in the region. You’re a fool if you think this wasn’t happening under Kamala. Based on what ‘zero difference between me and Biden’ signal she gave during the election do you think she would diverge from this course? Stopping the entity from starting the war? Following the logic of escalation to seek a victory from a position of defeat? Foolish.
