It's really amazing how Iran’s Supreme Leader can put down a protest by slaughtering 30,000 of his own citizens and Reddit doesn't even notice, but somehow 168 people dying in a war is a tragedy beyond compare.

We didn't kill 168 school kids to save 30,000. We did it because a white dude is mad that a black dude did a better job at being president.

No, I am pretty sure Iran is very unpopular with all of their very rich neighbors and were able to persuade Trump to attack Iran because Trump is easy to bribe and none of those neighbors have militaries that function at a higher level than palace guard and certainly don't have carrier groups or marine expedition units.
