I think being so fucking desperate to be distracted is actually our primary problem as a country. Stop avoiding reality, it’s time to grow up

Americans… The people who go to work every day and get paid shit for their work…enough to not complain too much but not enough to get a head. The people who get fixed incomed at 64 and then inflationed until the bank gets the house back. These people did not bomb Iran.
Orange turd and his team of evil fucks did.
Now, I’m actually neutral on this particular action. Nobody wants Iran with nukes. However please then do the same in NK and ruzzia.
If any of this does backfire, I just want you all to know that we just woke up to this shit just like everyone else. Just like when the orange turd invaded LA. We just woke up to this shit. Is it gonna be over in 3.5 more years?..god I so fucking hope so. The guy in coocoo unstable. Just like Kim and Putin, he should go to a retirement home and leave the rest of us alone.

Nobody wants Iran with nukes.
Frankly, I do want Iran with nukes. Iran hasn’t declared war on anyone for over 200 years. They’re stuck in the same neighborhood as a rogue nuclear state that engages in frequent wars of expansionist conquest. The region is incredibly unstable precisely because there is no military counterbalance to Israel. Iran getting nuclear weapons would be an immense boon to peace and stability in the Middle East. I trust the Ayatollahs with nukes a lot more than I do the Israelis with them. At least the Iranians don’t believe that their deity gave them the right to annex entire nations.

I think you just put your finger on exactly why the US doesn’t want that to ever happen.
Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
It will be like Russia, where they make nuclear threats on a weekly basis, but know they would be obliterated if they ever actually used them.
Having said that, you’re right about Israel having nukes being nothing to cheer about.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 9 months ago
A huge chunk of Americans enthusiastically support warring with Iran (or will, soon). Don’t like we aren’t culpable.
Is it because they’re glued to feeds and TV news? Yeah, but that’s also ours, and we basically elected Big Tech and Newscorp to the presidency so…

I am wondering when Americans are finally going to come to the inevitable conclusion that conservatives have to be utterly destroyed by any means necessary in the most extreme prejudicial manner possible. These people are absolute pure f****** evil.

First we need to endlessly debate whether or not Kamala Harris would’ve done the same thing. Since we can never know we can all just assume posting shitty memes is more important than voting. We’ll tell each other it’s late stage capitalism so we can feel smart for doing nothing because it’s all going to collapse anyway, nothing we can do! Committed to being uncommitted! Apathy to the end!
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 9 months ago
The people who vote conservative will probably never come to that conclusion.
We have to let the older generations die off until there isn’t enough support or physically stop them from voting to stop the conservative support.
winky_lem@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
3rd party…yes! Possible, not really. The two parties have a spot on the ballot, built in, automatically given. All others have to jump through each state’s requirements to get on the state ballot. The most effective at this lately is the libertarian party. In the election before last, Jo Jorgenson was on the ballot in all 50, GO JO! Sadly, her media coverage was paltry at best. Most Americans didn’t even know she was a realistic option. Finally, most Americans think that a vote for a 3rd party increases the chance of their less desirable major party winning. What they fail to realize is that, red or blue, the boot on your neck is the same boot, different shine.
FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Lets get something REAALLY FUGHIN STRAIGHT:
Conservatism DOES NOT DIE OFF.
AAAALLLLLL of the radical fascist right wing Nazi pundits and influencers are Millennials and younger, with a few GenXers scattered about.
Everyone SWORE that conservatism would die off with the Boomers, but that was 15 years ago. Its not gonna happen.
Makhno@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Liberals dont want change. Until the left accepts that libs gotta go in the ground too, nothing will happen.
FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 9 months ago
I agree, but the enablers arent as big of a problem as the perps right now. I feel like they would fall in line pretty quickly upon seeing the consequences of their actions.

Um… Enduring? If thought Iranians are the ones enduring stuff… like, bombs…
Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 9 months ago
We need memes for the people on the receiving end so they can forget about getting bombed for a second.

I assure you the nightmare is being experienced more acutely and directly by the people being actively bombed.

I feel like maybe this was a good move. At the same time I think the orange turd didn’t consider the consequences. Like you don’t do that and get away with just the one three punches. Iran my try other things to get back at us.

Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
What’s super weird is that it resembles the war in Iraq but dumber.
After 9/11 Americans were out for blood, for revenge.
This time they were out for blood, democrat blood. Revenge for… being told to stay inside.
I guess every 20 years they realize they hate each other so they outsource the violence?
America is truly that neighbour which has constant domestic drama that the rest of the neighbourhood has to put up with constantly cause they are too nice to shun said neighbour.

It is the moral imperative for Canada, Mexico, and all Central and South American countries to invade and destroy the Nazi outpost called the US

I hate that 2/3 of my fellow citizens support this, either directly or or tacitly by choosing not to vote.
I really hope the protest voters are happy with the outcome they chose. I can’t wait to hear them tell me that Harris would have done this too! Anything to justify intentionally causing the suffering of more people…

Whitaker followed up, asking, “If Iran is building a nuclear weapon, would you take military action?”
“I’m not going to talk about hypotheticals at this moment,” said the vice president.

Bombing the shit out of the Middle East is the only bipartisanism the US has ever reached, therefore yes, a Democrat would have had to bomb something because that’s what US presidents do. Anyway, keep on blaming voters instead of holding the party accountable for its mistakes.
fuckdaddy@lemmy.cafe 9 months ago
Not only. Did you know Biden deported more people than trump first term? Lmao
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 9 months ago
“Don’t blame the voters who elected the president” is the sort of argument I’d expect from someone intentionally ignoring that he bombed nuclear sites.
BoTh SiDeS arguments are stupid and people who make them should be ignored. Like I said, anything to justify your bad choice.

Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
No but to OP’s point, the only reason why this keeps happening without Americans fighting back is because enough of them have it good enough.
So not peachy, but clearly good enough for a comfortable enough hole in the sand for your head.

ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 9 months ago
No, the Americans need to be consistently reminded of what their government is doing so that there’s at least the slightest chance they’ll put a stop to it. They don’t get to ignore the problem, it’s their job to fix it. They are not babies to be coddled.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video that Trump called him after the strikes: “It was a very warm conversation, very emotional.” Speaking in Hebrew, he called Trump a friend of Israel like no one before him.
Thanks guys, real glad we didn’t vote for that evil fascist Harris and paved the way for Mr. No New Wars…
