As someone who has, and had family serving in our military, I don't like seeing them in harms way, and suffering attacks.
That being said, why the heel do we always go poking our noses in other countries' business, posting troops over there,
messing with their economy, politics, and such?

Another thing is when Muricans badmouth the conduct of other nations, we ignore our own misconduct. Cops who kill minorities with impunity,
billionaires exploiting workers to enrich themselves, embezzler funds and getting away with it. Conducting clandestine, black op assassinations, to replace a ruler with one who we can use as a puppet. I think we should clean up our own house before. Fact is, we aren't innocent either.
condemning others.

A partial list has been posted twice as you and others keep saying Iran wasn’t and isnt a threat. Tell that to the families from attacks and 1000s of victims families of Iranian citizens.
Great thought process because a missile can’t reach your home. Not a threat to me so I don’t care…brilliant.

Over 50 citizens/service members have been killed and over 225 wounded by Iran and their proxies over the past 3 years. The threats have been ongoing for over 4 decades.

The ease at which you make things up must be something pathological. Keep saying? Please provide the example where I have repeated that comment. I haven't posted anything remotely close to that thought process. You're blatantly lying here. Damn, man. Either take your meds or modify your current doses

So you’ve been saying Iran is a threat then. My bad. Assumed the opposite. Didn’t realize you had labeled them a threat.

You shouldn't assume. The only time I ever mentioned them was a post commenting on the fact they aren't a threat to mainland USA. They are most certainly a threat to our soldiers in western Asia since we preemptively started this current military operation. It can be both, but we both know you have no use for nuance

They were a threat before we started this operation and have been for decades and to say differently is ignorant. They are a threat to everyone around them including our military and their own people.
Am I being nuanced now?

He hasn't explained the tattoo. They confirmed him without asking him about it because they didn't care at all until they needed to assassinate his character. It could be nazi. I also saw somebody unconfirned say the other arm says "hunter" 🤔

hahahahahah this is the biggest stretch I've ever seen to justify supporting an ACTUAL nazi war criminal

"Not a threat to me so I don't care" is another strawman no one has said. You're trying so hard to demonize everyone who doesn't want a war that even conservatives didn't want a year ago. The nerve to flip on an issue and then criticize those that didn't is wild

I’m sure the possible Nazi tattoo and his appearance on a podcast known for Holocaust denial and Jewish conspiracies, and during the appearance he claimed to be a “longtime fan” are both just coincidences and are being used for character assassination.

No, not all. Like I said, you have no use for nuance. There have always been different threat levels associated with Iran.

Quality of life is subjective, hence why I said arguably. But it’s well documented that Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark, Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, UK, France, Japan etc, have equal if not better living standards than the average American.

I do think America is objectively one of the best places in the world if you are rich. But being poor in America is certainly much worse here than it is any many of those countries.

All I’m trying to say is that most people from developed countries aren’t begging to come here.

I also don’t think people realize how terrible our reputation on gun violence is. I’ve encountered many Europeans who refuse to visit let alone live for that reason more than anything else. How we view Brazil is how they view us from their perspective when it comes to crime.

What a crock of shiite.

I have been by American embassies all around the world, and the line to get in runs around the block. You are full of it.

I can’t speak for where you went, but I would assume that the line at a US embassy isn’t a holistic representation of the entire country’s feelings. I’m sure there’s some selective bias.
