Imo, paying for reconstruction is the moral thing to do when there is no rational basis for a war. I have no idea whether $300b is the right amount.
The highest estimated cost by the OBM for universal healthcare in the US is $290B.
Just gonna leave that here.
and it can be taken out of the overbloated defense budget too, and they still have more than enough for thier big guns and toys.
Estimates have the total destruction of Iranian infrastructure at closer to $1T.
For the war itself hard to say, for the decades of sanctions? It makes complete sense if not undershooting their costs
It's a gay-hanging dictatorship with a religious doomsday wish looking to get nuclear weapons
Who America?
It's like the US on steroids
If that mattered, we'd be going to war with genocidal Pissrael, who has done far worse than anything Iran has even thought of doing.
It was for the oil and at the behest of the Zionazis who own the US government. But you know that.
As a fellow gay, I don't care. War is war and war is bad. Genocide is bad. How horrible the party you're opening a war against is doesnt change this.
I'm sure all the gay kids growing up there are feeling warm inside knowing you want them to see them swing in peace
The important thing is that we associate any local LGBT movement with a foreign government bombing civilian infrastructure. That's sure to help!
Just so we're clear, this is what you support
Support?
Your post:
indicates that you think there was a rational basis for war.
Well I thought that the war against IS had a rational basis as well. Does that make you say that means I 'support' all the innocent casualties?
The difference here is that Iran's government got in power by a people's revolution. The Iranian people ousted the Shah and largely support their government. Of course there are voices critical inside because they're still facing oppression, but now from the revolution. However people are less likely to show tolerance and understanding when LGBTQ+ people are weaponised against their countries and when they see western LGTBQ+ people cheer for imperialist aggression against their countries makes, not more.
If you truly care about the oppression of LGTBQ+ people what you should do is support peace and the hard work of agitating for more understanding and tolerance. As it stands a lot of people understand that the west and their imperialism is their enemy and a murder machine looking to devour them and if that machine then loudly cheers for gay rights they will think that this is to destroy their society as well. This is the reason that among other countries Russia states in support of their homophobia and Iran uses as well.
You're not going to bomb people into being more tolerant. Mandatory revolutionaryth0t https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgwPECzyeG4 They are very cool and correct.
Also the war against ISIS was also a complete shit-show and failure. Look who's ruling Syria now. So many civilians dead and you have nothing to show for it. This is a pattern, and I can't actually believe that you haven't picked up on it. The USA claims to fight for but somehow that never comes to pass and instead a lot of people die for the profit of the epstein countries. Death to the USA and death to pissrael.
Source?
Why do you think they had to kill all internal opposition?
I think they may have 20% support or so. On a good day.
Yeah...
If you honestly believe that the Syrian people are worse off now or even close to how they would have been under ISIS... I think you're probably living a very sheltered life far, far away
Israel already has nuclear weapons. But otherwise yeah I agree. Israel is a nasty country.
And that's different from the US how? Right, they already have nuclear weapons.
hardly a day goes by where i don't post this:

Translation for the linguistically impaired? 🥺
How biadolfs and mussolesbians think that israeli-american missiles work:
missile labelled "hospitalexploder 9000": "are you gay?"
person in chador: "no"
Why would you say these things about America?
