You mean like Israel used diplomacy when it bombed the Iranian embassy, literally the most undiplomatic thing you can do?
As far as spending money on improving people’s lives, that’s not bad advice but it’s also terribly hypocritical coming from (I assume) a US point of view. The US should stop spending the many, many billions of dollars sent to Israel to kill dirt-poor oppressed innocents and improve the lives of their own citizens. Then there would be no need to institutionally violate human rights like in the case of forced prison labor which earns Alabama alone 450 million a year and is just legalized slavery. I mean, literally just yesterday it was reported that Florida signed a law prohibiting worker protections from overheating. The US claiming the “protection of life quality” high ground is becoming less believable by the day. Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Don’t know why you are trying to steer the conversation away with what-about-isms when the topic I am talking about is concerning the peanut brain Iranian military getting their entire fleet of millions of dollars shot down without any consideration of air defense making it the equivalent of setting a pile of money on fire instead of improving their country.
A single US state is North America can out produce the entire country of Iran and has better quality of life and personal freedom.

I rebutted your idea that Iran started this by being undiplomatic when in fact Israel clearly is the aggressor. I also acknowledged the merits of your argument but also the hypocrisy of them. Telling you to take your own advice before you feel justified acting haughty isn’t whataboutism.

Your sagacious reply is sadly lost on my stupidity.

I mean, that’s the thing, US/UK paid for all the rockets that were used to destroy the drones. And drones are cheap, unlike those rockets that cost close to 100k per rocket. So American taxpayers are the ones that got a raw deal out of Israel violating and then pissing and shitting on the international law protecting embassies that even China and Russia doesn’t break.

Americans got the short end of the stick long before Iran was ever involved. Lets not pretend this changed anything.

These drones are dirt cheap. But I am sure, american chucklefuck McGee has just outstrategized the entire iranian military.

The drone costs $375,000 to manufacture. Maybe its the premium Canadian dirt.
