Listen, years ago I rode with Juárez against Emperor Maximilian. I lost many chickens but I thought it was worth it to be free. When Porfirio became President, I supported him – but he stole my chickens. Then came Huerta and he stole my chickens. Then it was Carranza’s term, and he stole my chickens too. Now comes Pancho Villa to liberate me and the first thing he does is steal my chickens.(…) What makes one different from the others? My chickens don’t know. All over the world revolutions come and go. Presidents rise and fall. They all stole your chickens. The only thing to change is the name of the man who takes them.

Or for a more modern version

The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace: They never are.

It's pretty "funny" the amount of people who imagine this as some "foreign conflict" between "two sides", when it's a direct continuation of USAian imperialism. It's not surprising that brainwashed libs are hating on an "official enemy". Libs and their politicians have supported these attacks on Iran for decades.

Reminds me of the irony that the country that turned the tide against Nazism was the country that killed, displaced, and imprisoned almost the whole indigenous population.

Considering the murder of the little Iranian girl for not wearing a headscarf, they seem to have relaxed that requirement. Still a shitty country. But the instigator is Israel and the USA right nowm

Is not like we have only 2 options. Their is some people organized for emancipation and against their own states in both Iran and Israel. Campism forget people in focusing on states. That a shame that somme commies took this path : "the freedom of the workers will be build by the workers themselves " - 1st international statutes

Iran does bad things, yet you cheer their actions. Curious. - Charlie Kirk

Yah, I have no dog in this fight. I just don't want to get drawn into it. I am over the ME for good. No good actors.

However, I wish my nation would welcome refugees, the innocents who are caught up in this and need refuge and asylum. So... the US sucks too for not offering it. I cared for a young woman from Iraq, a refugee, the other day. She spent 8 years in a refugee camp in Turkey (d/t Trump immigration/refugee bans) before finally coming here. She has 2 children, a worried husband and she is pretty sick now. I hope she can get the surgery she needs.

is this the definition of a straw man argument?

yeah yeah let's go war! morons. USA executes poor people, gay or not. how is that for equality and representation?

Reading through these comments gives me very little hope. There are a lot of dumbasses with dumbass opinions.
