We all needed someone to go to war with Iran, because Iran have been preparing to launch a war on the entire western world for decades, and no one has done anything to stop them.
I don’t think people on here understand the situation with Iran. They despise the west. They want everyone in the west dead. They have been enriching uranium, despite even previous democrat administrations saying they must never be allowed to while doing nothing to actually enforce it, to make nukes to launch at the west. It’s not to protect themselves, it’s to attack.
There is no next generation if the west is a nuclear desert.
Iran hates the West because the West has been invading the Middle East for hundreds of years. The crusades were a horrendous time. Muslims and Jews lived fairly peacefully in Palestine before the West sent the WW2 european jewish refugees there and created the state of Israel. They did this to establish a base of influence in the region and further the US imperialist conquest. Maybe Iran wants nukes just so the West will leave it alone. Iran is not the aggressor. You are not immune to propaganda. Neither am I of course, I spent many years thinking the West were the good guys.
Iran is an aggressor. They will literally tell you this themselves lol
The west don’t want everyone who doesn’t have their same religious beliefs dead. Can’t say the same about Iran and most of the Middle East.
You are not immune to propaganda. The people of Iran do not want all Christians dead, they do not want all Jews dead. They want peace in the region. The US government and it's allies make that very difficult.
I’m not immune to propaganda, though I’m smart enough to see through almost all of it at least, but I’m also not just going to ignore facts. Their official religion calls for the death of everyone that doesn’t follow Islam, among other grotesque and deplorable things, and their regime has a pretty good history of trying to make good on that.
Dude wtf are you talking about?? Islam does not call for the death of non believers. You've fallen for propaganda. Muslims are not your enemy.
It literally does 🤣
Where? Show me.
