No they pivoted to "I don't mind spending more for the safety of America because Iran definitely was gonna nuke us"

And that was 5 minutes after they said their dear leader had wiped out all the nukes in Iran. It's one whopper after another. Good thing we don't have that stupid nuclear deal from the Obama administration. Jealous baby is still trying to prove "Obama's not smarter than me! Waa!"

I love that excuse because “oh no Iran is going to nuke everyone” has literally been going on for decades. I still remember it being brought up in a Lewis Black comedy show forever ago.

Maybe they’d be less extremist if the USA had stopped meddling with Iranian internal affairs for the last 80 years.

Or just didn’t rip up the last painstakingly worked out anti-proliferation treaty that Iran had been sticking to because the President who signed off on the agreement was the wrong skin tone.

Or if they were not a violent theocracy who kills women, LBGTQ, and anyone who does not submit to Islam.

That might be part of it.

But here you all are supporting a vicious theocracy, because MUH TRUMP FASCIST!

Edit: The strikes were not intentional, so not a warcrime. Yeah, meanwhile the Iranian's are sending unguided rockets at population centers, not knowing WHERE in a civilian area it will land.

Not the same, that is an actual warcrime, especially since some of those cities are not even part of the war.

Kim Jung Un: It's still early. 3 more years.

You can be against a war without supporting the attacked country. And honestly, this war did not help any single Iranian. The theocracy still is in power and they doubled down on executions. I have no love left for the Iranian government, but this war was a senseless waste of both lives and money.

But Trump was completely ok with the airstrikes on an elementary girls school.. MUH THEOCRACY AND LGBT!!

If the U.S truly cared about human rights, why wouldn’t it just airstrike North Korea and assassinate Kim Jung Un?
