    I get the sentiment, but that’s thousands of deaths.

    Edit: It seems we have a ton of war hawks here. I know that Iran is defending itself, as they should. But nobody should be cheering on the war and deaths of thousands on any side. I would cheer on the total withdrawal of the US. I would rather nobody dies senseless deaths.

        Like in that case, it’s only an atrocity to them if the dead are white

      If the US doesn’t want thousands of deaths on their end, maybe they should have considered not attacking Iran.

      Tell that to the Iranians who are losing their homes, their hospitals, their schools and universities, their offices and of course their lives and the lives of their loved ones

      Self defense. They rained death on Iran first.

      You know how you prevent those deaths? Stop fucking invading Iran. Those deaths are completely on the US’s hands.

        The USA encourages young people to do that by keeping them in poverty and ignorance. So it’s kind of voluntary but not exactly freely chosen.

          Not an excuse. Not even in the slightest. You don’t get to kill people to feed yourself. Would you defend poor people joining gangs and cartels?

          This is exactly why they target low income communities for recruitment. Someone who is down and out is a far better target for recruitment.

      My boys have the right to defend themselves; Also this will be great data if the US or Israel plan future wars of aggression!
