Your argument is incoherent at this point. You think Iran should just bend over after the US attacked them, and if they don't they are morally wrong. Thinking that the Iranian government should fight to maintain its sovereignty means supporting an endless war. But the US not surrendering is a-okay. Iranians deserve no agency according to you. Anyway, enjoy not being able to buy gas in a few weeks.

> Anyway, enjoy not being able to buy gas in a few weeks. haha ok - exactly how many weeks? That way I can come back and tell you that you were wrong. :) I'm rich and drive an EV anyway so I don't really care. > Your argument is incoherent at this point. No it's not. > You think Iran should just bend over after the US attacked them, and if they don't they are morally wrong. Thinking that the Iranian government should fight to maintain its sovereignty means supporting an endless war. But the US not surrendering is a-okay. The key difference here is that the US has no real care in the region besides making sure the oil continues to flow since that's important to the global economy. Iran is the only country in the region that is disrupting that for their own benefit. If they stop trying to build a nuclear weapon and stop funding militias which violate the sovereignty of other countries, nobody would be here. The way you know this is true is because other countries don't try to build nuclear weapons or fund militias which destabilize lots of other countries (perhaps outside of Africa) and so there is no conflict. "The Arabs did this! Israel did this! USA did this!" No - that's just a tool used by autocratic regimes to mask their own failures as they steal money and stuff. This is well known and understood. Notice how it's everyone's fault but little ole' Iran? Poor Iran, if only they didn't take all the money they had and give it to militias for the US and Israel to use as target practice Tehran would have running water and inflation wouldn't be turning their currency into toilet paper. Oh well, I guess you can chant death to America and have nuclear weapons facilities bombed if that's what you want. Whatever. > Iranians deserve no agency according to you. I'd prefer they have agency by removing their theocratic government who is murdering protestors and attacking everyone in the region. But with sovereignty comes responsibility, and Iran cannot simultaneously have what they have today and then deny others their rights. My recommendation to their government is that they stop trying to build a nuclear weapon, stop their weapons programs, stop murdering innocent civilians in their country and elsewhere, and work with the United States and others to get their country back on its feat and leave the IRGC to rot in prison cells.

  Your comment chain is rather laughable, full of falsities and showing an immense ignorance if history. It's like you're mainlining fox news or Zionism.

    I don't watch Fox News or care about Zionism so that's false. The only comment chain that is laughable is yours. You don't know anything about history and your comments clearly reflect that. You didn't even know about 1953!!! lol

      I know you have trouble reading history, but I would figure you could at least read usernames. Guess not.

        I know more about history than you do. No I don't care about usernames. You can respond to the points and debate them or you can toss around ad hominem attacks and I'll just parrot them back to you. Up to you.
