"Iran is run by theocratic psychopaths who only understand the language of violence!"

[–] MML@sh.itjust.works 88 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And they marry children instead of just molesting them like an upstanding Christian!

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 70 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Oh no Americans marry their children too.

Between 2000 and 2021, some 315,000Β minorswere legally married in the United States.[23]Β The vast majority of child marriages (some 86%) were between a minor girl and an adult man.

Uh, I believe the term is "underage women" not children or girls or minors. /s

[–] ink@sh.itjust.works 28 points 4 days ago

Every accusation a confession.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago

The Christian right?

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 64 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Tbf it's not exactly same as US. Iran is using those weapons in self-defense instead of invading random countries an ocean + sea + two geographic regions away.

[–] MajinBlayze@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Also, we're apparently low on munitions, so we're failing at even spending our money on that.

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No wonder the Pentagon hasn't passed an audit in a decade or something!

[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Actually the reason is the US uses 3M$ anti-missile missiles to intercept 20k$ drones. It was obvious from the start they would run out of them way while Iran would keep producing more of their drones (plus the ones they get from Russia).

It's quite unbelievable they the US were so confident in their capabilities they didn't bother to learn anything from the war in Ukraine, where swarms of cheap drones have replaced advanced but costly missiles for years now.

So the money may be genuinely used on weapons (and well, lobsters and steaks…). It's just spent stupid.

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago

Healthcare is too expensive!

[–] JenIsBringingTheDrugs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Timestamp 24:52 for anyone interested

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

I guess jen is bringing the drugs and the timestamps

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 53 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This is nonsense.

Potatoes have an INCREDIBLE amount of self-awareness for something without a nervous system.

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Anything with that many eyes is definitely self-aware!

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Bloodborne vibes.

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 63 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Coulda funded the healthcare subsidies twice over for the 200b they're asking for

[–] Red0ctober@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

Lol, that would have helped poor people. Can't have that.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 10 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

They could fund a public healthcare system twice over with the money the federal government is already spending providing piece meal health care through several inefficient programs. The war crime fund could solve the housing problem though.

[–] superglue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 days ago

Th government is using health care to force people to continue working. They know they can fund it. They also know if healthcare becomes free in the US, there are lots of people who can just stop working. If they made healthcare free I'd likely be able to stop working by age 45

[–] plyth@feddit.org 4 points 4 days ago

But then why should people feel the need to join the army?

These are truly the times when the USA citizens should learn some tricks of government management from the France.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

You mean they should let somebody crown himself as emperor and start a land war in Asia?

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Never. Get involved in a land war in Asia!

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

Unless you're already Asian, then fill your boots!

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 days ago

Yeah everyone here likes to bring up guillotines and the French Revolution, but it's like none of them know what happened after.

[–] vpol@feddit.uk 52 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No, he just doesn’t count you as people.

[–] bearoftheisle@europe.pub 4 points 4 days ago

I seriously doubt he considers Iranian people people either, maybe he's talking about rich Iranians? Maybe Iran isn't as good at pandering to the wealthy as the US is?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

Does this dipshit realize he'll never be safe in public again? Probably anywhere on Earth.

And I don't think he gets lifetime tax payer funded Secret Service protection like America is prepared to give a felon rapist pedophile.

Iran has healthcare, you don't

Tell me this motherfucker did not actually say this with a straight face

Edit: He did.

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

No way he actually said that xD

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago

I would love it if Iran asked Pete Hegseth to check with the 2006 Time Magazine person of the year with who does that to their country/citizens.

[–] thethrilloftime69@feddit.online 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Does he hear himself? Like I feel like we're living in a sketch show.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 4 days ago

no he only hears the call of nazis.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 11 points 4 days ago

islamic republic of iran, is largely ther because of USA/UK when they installed the shah.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago

Fucking moron.

[–] stickyprimer@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Why he gotta speak ill of the potato

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Every time I see Hegseths face I am glad it is not Matthew Miller

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

He has the face of a potato.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

It’s mockery. He knows there are no consequences for him, these press briefings are just going through the motions.
