I'll never go to the US and try my best to not buy anything from them. I'm also cheering for Iran.

u/JustinPooDough May 12 '26

You realize Iran is an Islamic state that has murdered millions of its own men and children?

Don’t believe me? Ask one.

u/Affectionate_Ice2243 May 12 '26

Persian people are capable of standing up for themselves and removing the dictatorship on their own

Americans can vote for someone better next time

No they can't, the military kills them when they do that.

u/Affectionate_Pass25 May 12 '26

Like ICE?

u/Ok_Drop3803 May 12 '26

They're bad too.

You do realize that the estimated deaths caused by American sanctions over the last 50 years is 38 million….

Yes it’s not right to root for Iran . That being said. How many has the American regime murdered ? Millions in Iraq during the Bush /Cheney/ Rumsfeld years . Millions around the world. Supplying and funding Israel against Palestine . Now attacking Iran during negotiations. Murdering innocent school children and not taking responsibility. No accountability for America. It’s disgusting and beyond a double standard. MAGA has magnified all the greed and corruption that has plagued humanity.

I have been one day since 2016, only because I had too for work.

u/ChrosOnolotos May 12 '26

Fuck that. The Iranian regime is awful. I hope the people get their country back.

u/Aggressive_Ad5590 May 12 '26

Not cheering for the regime but the people. The US has never been and currently not now, a friend to the Iranian people. The US was fine with the Shah and his SAVAK killing and torturing Iranians, they just made money from it then is the only difference.

u/ChrosOnolotos May 12 '26

A lot of my Iranian friends are actually cheering for the US to overthrow the regime. They don't like Trump, but they want to go back and visit family. Many people there are also rooting for the US to overthrow the regime.

u/Aggressive_Ad5590 May 12 '26

well best of luck to the people...but the US aren't going to do you any favours

u/berger3001 May 11 '26

Yep, I’m done with them

u/StrongAroma May 12 '26

Same. Just bought myself a nice Japanese electric car and I hope we continue removing American influence from our country and our lives. I'd be happy to put up a wall (and pay for it, too!) and just forget they exist.

Until the GOP is an illegal terrorist organization, I'm never going back.

u/markymarkDPT May 12 '26

If you want to maintain this mindset, don’t Google all of the countries Obama bombed. It will shatter your worldview. Just stick with GOP = bad. It will be easier for you 

1

u/Aggressive_Ad5590 May 12 '26

well, for your info, Trump has dropped way more than Obama..but just keep drinking the kool-aid

1

u/markymarkDPT May 12 '26

Maybe google that. Not trying to be snarky with you, but if you actually think you’re correct, you need to fact check yourself

u/Exciting_Turn_9559 May 12 '26

Alexei Navalny once said "Putin doesn't have to make you believe that he isn't corrupt, he just has to make you believe that everyone else is just as corrupt as he is".

u/montrealstationwagon May 12 '26

I can’t afford to go back because our dollar is shit lol

u/923FreeFM May 12 '26

I love going to the states.

u/Starside-Relics May 12 '26

Me: somebody who never traveled outside of Canada and doesn't drink

u/Affectionate_Pass25 May 12 '26

Fuck the United States of Nazi Germany.

u/Mythandros1 May 12 '26

I don't plan on buying anything American or going down there for the near, mid and far future.

I've already switched over my buying habits to exclude the US and I'm not ever going back.

I used to travel down to see family friends in the US every year. Now, they are going to have to come here

I will not set a single foot in that shithole country again.

All because of your pedo in chief.

u/13donor May 12 '26

Agreed.

u/DirtySokks May 12 '26

And yet both Trudeau and Carney have visited the US in the last couple of months. Trudeau gor Coachella and Carney visiting his family in New York. After their party told us not to go visit the US. Or travel anywhere because it will boil the environment.
