More good news. This region won't stabilize unless Iran is able to show that the US cannot significantly diminish Iranian capability to legitimately threaten the safety of Israel.

It will be nice and stable once Iran can get back to killing protesters and supporting terror groups according to their fundamental religious beliefs.

If we attacked every country that brutally oppressed their population we wouldn’t have any allies.

The US being bad doesn't make the Iranian government good.

Did you read what I said? I was commenting on the stability of the region. Something Iran has actively worked against. Also known as "the topic the person I replied to was talking about".

The region is unstable because of israel and the usa

You might want to level out that outage given Iran was invaded by a country that is currently at war with no less than three of it's neighbors and drives literally the exact same shit just on a larger scale.

Amazing that Trump and Bibi have gotten so many leftists to support an oppressive fundamentalist religious regime.

No one is supporting anything but the fact the US and Israel started a war for no reason they can state and stick to for longer then a child lacking object permanence.

You don't have to like Iran to say starting a war with them is idiotic and shouldn't be happening. You do however have to be acting in bad faith or have your head up your ass to see that as supporting the regime.

I absolutely agree. It was an incredibly stupid idea.

You do however have to be acting in bad faith or have your head up your ass to see that as supporting the regime.

I'm not criticizing your criticism of the war. I'm criticizing your jumping to the defense of Iran that I should "level my outrage" at them due to them being at war. No. No I should not.

Two separate people so no obviously its nothing to do with my criticism.

No I mean the examples provided are exactly the same thing Israel does as well ie. You're outrage heavily favors Israel and the usa given the exact same stated issues occur from both but your outrage favors Israel "for some reason".

You're basically saying "nobody's perfect".
