    The US being a villain doesn’t make Iran a hero. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet of villainy.

      The thing is though, this is all an optional illegal war to distract from the Epstein files so the US’s child raping ruling class can continue to evade justice.

      The U.S. is absolutely more evil here. It’s not even close.

        I guess I forgot to consult my abacus.

        This isn’t a game. We don’t have to pick a side. The Iranian government is an oppressive regime that murders homosexuals, imprisons journalists, and represses women. Their citizens live under absolute censorship and face brutal, violent repression for dissent. We’re meant to cheer for that now… because Epstein? Cover up their crimes? Pretend they’re fighting for justice?

        Whether it’s an immoral war of choice or people escaped justice for crimes associated with Epstein, why would we let it turn us into shittier people? Iran are not good guys.

        I don’t think that’s true at all.

        I mean the US has kinda rapidly descended towards being evil. Iran has been evil consistently since the revolution in '79.

          The revolution that was a response to the USA staging a coup two decades earlier to install their oil-company-friendly dictator over their democratically elected leader that thought the oil profits should benefit the people instead of international oil companies?

          America ALWAYS been evil. It’s delusional to think it was “just recent!”

          I think the US government maybe has less “concentration of evil” but since its it got so many hands in so many pies the mass market scale of evil going on here is pretty brutal.

          Plus like Gaza makes the Saudi government look good by comparison. The Saudi government who regularly murders critics and has a bunch of insane laws to control people.
