I agree it’s not but like AIPAC I don’t think it’s a stretch that the broader cartel that is the GOP realizes their reelection hinges on the bilateral relationship with Russia. They’ve been in cahoots for at least 2 decades or more.

Well Russia didn’t do it because they don’t have the “fuck you” power that the US has. Russia sucks and is a huge danger, but this is absolutely not the time to whataboutism about them. I really hope you’re being ironic, because otherwise it’s just providing cover for mass murder.
“russia would do” - when you say that to yourself remember that phrase is propaganda. it’s literally some shit the USA did do. Your “IDK” is cognitive dissonance.

There is no carpet bombing of Tehran. This person is thus not a reputable source and you need to start doubting the rest of the claims until you find a better source.
They mean what they say and it is propaganda. In addition, the amount of civilian targets hit are few. The Islamic regime itself is responsible for a lot more deaths. The opinions of regime-critical Iranians inside the country can be summarized like this: yes, bombs are scary, but the regime is more scary.

It’s weird how the US is turning into everything it fought against. Was fun while it lasted.

Did we fight against it or did we hide our war crimes better?
This is just the start. The old world broke once russia invaded Ukraine and we did nothing. Now other countries have realized that the world wont do anything if they also attack. Expansion has once again started. I expect Taiwan to be finished by summer too.

I get this vibe that no one knows what’s going on anymore and everything is just running on the fumes of the zeitgeist and conspiracy theories.
I find the fact that the whole world “knows” that China will invade Taiwan in 2027 to be really strange. And this has been the case for years. It feels like certain groups are taking it as a foregone conclusion.
The old world broke when the US and UK invaded Iraq illegally in 2003. This is the natural consequence of that. If the people claiming to uphold them don’t follow the rules because they are strong enough, then if we are strong enough we can do anything we want.

The americans knew the ship was coming for a military exercise without ammunition, they couldn’t just seize it and captured everyone and got the ship? I’m missing something?

What the actual fuck? The US has turned into a parody of itself. It’s sad to see.
is this honestly a surprise? :(
It is my first belief that this is the point.
And Putin is quite happy.
Yes, Putin probably enjoys this, but this is not trump alone. He has the support of the whole republican party, or at least 95% of it.
I agree it’s not but like AIPAC I don’t think it’s a stretch that the broader cartel that is the GOP realizes their reelection hinges on the bilateral relationship with Russia. They’ve been in cahoots for at least 2 decades or more.
Well don’t think he’s that happy since his supply of drones most likely has dried up
Well, when you elect clowns…

I mean… there can be two murderous ruthless sadistic powers on earth. Three even! I’ll let you choose the third.
Equatorial Guinea!
The People’s Dictatorship of Antarctica

Are you arguing semantics over the use of “carpet bombing”? Because it was definitely bombed.

Bombed, yes. Carpet bombed, no.
Fair enough.
They mean striking civilian targets when they say carpet bombing, they don’t mean WW2 style mass dumb bombing.

There’s a reason at least half the world despises the US

Fun fact: they were unarmed

You assume they wanted the ship or prisoners more than the death and suffering
