Hopefully this doesn’t backfire af on American civilians..

[–] martin4598@lemm.ee 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sorry, but I hope it does. Aggression must have consequences, or there is no justice.

Because civilians are always the most worthy and deserving target of state-sanctioned violence.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago

Yeah, kill the leaders, they deserve it.

At least 1/3rd of the US population fully deserves it, and another 1/3rd is in the gray area

His voters and liberal voters definitely are

It'll be burger brained riots when gas prices skyrocket, that will probably be enough of a shock to break the regime and start a crisis. I joke, mostly.

The US are a democracy, which means the people is responsible for the acts of their country. Sorry guys, you need to take responsibility.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

To be fair, the US isn't a democracy at all, and even among USians this war is extremely unpopular.

Then, you're expected to topple your government, as much as you expect Iranians to bring down theirs. You're no better, expect you are on the dropping side of the bombs (and, sorry for the image, on the receiving side of Israel's dick).

Once you've done that and stop killing abroad, then you'll have some respect from the rest of the world. For the time being, no wonder airplanes inbound the US will stay half empty.

I think you're confused, I'm a communist, I despise the US Empirevand condemn the war. Further, Israel doesn't control the US, the US supports Israel because Israel is like a giant millitary base for the US to terrorize its geopolitical adversaries.

JFC. Pretty sure that Iranian civilians are the ones who need to worry.... Not to mention Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Yemenis, etc.
