It’s indeed quite the mix joingoist delusions of grandeur making the average American think they as individuals are superior to those from other countries whilst not actually having much in the way of values, breadth of knowledge, education or wisdom.
Reminds me how the other day I was watching a Documentary about the war in Afghanistan and at one point there was this American soldier (possibly a Lieutenant) trying to convince a bunch of locals including some elders of something or other and even I (who am Portuguese) could recognize that this guy in his mid/late 20s was totally missing the social clues and natural social structure of the place, for example and not giving the face-saving “respect” to the elders of that culture even if you’re in a position of strength - go to a place thinking you’re a superior person with a superior culture and superior ways and don’t be surprised if the locals seem to “respect” your strength in your face whilst giving you the run-around if they can get away with it and undermining you behind your back.
I think an Antropologist said it something as “the barbarian is the one who belives in the existance of barbarism.”
No need when there are enough school shootings to fill the gap.
First time looking at a conflict involving the USA?
Do Vietnam next.
TBF, they literally don’t have the range to hit anything other than US military bases and ships.
A very valid perspective, which brings us back to why did we start a war with a nation that can’t even strike us?
They could hit schools in USA allied countries where the USA military bases are. They could explicitly target the schools in the USA military bases. They’re not doing that, we would be told if they did.
I get what your saying, but I doubt they could. The attacks on Israel have shown that they are not exactly using precision weapons.
Their attacks on Israel have shown they have exact opposite. High precision missiles targeting radar installations and military bases despite jamming.
Cluster bombs are not particularly high precision weapons. I’m all for destroying the Israeli fascist regime but let’s not pish to far with propaganda.
Which incident are you referring to?
The one swith cluster bombs? Little else got throughout after the first wave.
When did this happen?
Well, they could target a school in Qatar and end up hitting some residential area, but we’re not seeing that, it’s military bases that get hit and there’s better stuff to target than schools.
That is exactly what we saw during the ballistic missile and drone attack waves on Israel.
Yes USA bad, but let’s not pretend Iran has the moral high ground, sponsoring proxies groups that mostly attack civilians has been their spiel for decades.
Clearly you are very I’ll informed. Likely intentional
and even if they did - those missiles aint cheap to throw into schools.
The USA is 100% locked down by Israel.
Fuck Israel. Israel hates everyone that isn’t them, they want to kill or enslave us all.
I am not looking for people to reply to me I’m wondering why all these Israeli leaders saying “Only Israel matters” isn’t a bigger issue.
… I’m now remembering I’m not on Reddit and I can relax and not immediately jump into self defence mode.
Free Palestine, kill child predators and Nazis! Nice to not be on Reddit.

Israel started genociding Palestinians all the way back in the 1940s with the Nakba.
You can only claim this was “started” by Palestinians by very purposefully and very selectivelly choosing a cut-off point in time and refusing to acknowledge anything that happened before that.
Further, even if we accepted your incredibly selective time window to support the claim that “Hamas started it”, after the “who started it” comes the issue of “is the response of the injured part proportionate”, and given that the number of just the children in Gaza killed by Israel actually exceeds even Israel’s own claimed number of israelis killed in October 2024 by at least a factor of 10x, the response is undeniably incredibly disproportionate.
Taking in account the entirety of History as well as the number and nature of those killed by both sides, the reality of what we see now is an invading and occupying group - Israelis - who have been stealing from and killing the people of the land they occupied for almost a century, responded to the latest response from a Resistance groups of the people whose land is occupied with an incredibly disproportionate response were the civilians themselves (including children) were activelly targetted, to the point that they exceeded the violence and murderousness of the actual NAZIs in similar situations in the land they occupied during WWII - the NAZIs killed far fewer civilians in Occupied France as “punishment” for the actions of the Resistance Française than Israelis killed just in this one instance of response to the actions of the Palestinian Resistance.
It’s pretty spectacular to surpass even the NAZIs in murderousness.
Israel has been genociding palestinians since the 40s
Why is this argument with Israel always so one sided.
Because the war is onesided? It’s less of a war but a slaughter. There’s a lot more proof against Israel doing horrible thing to palestinian than hamas did to israeli, obviously people gonna lock in on that.
Yep I’m blocking you. Free Palestine!
Hamas are freedom fighters. Death to America and Israel.
Inshallah
That this has upvotes is so telling, thank you.
You’re surprised the countrries currently engaged in genocide and illegal wars of agression are unpopular, lol?
This is a legitimate question and not an insult: are you stupid?
sources for the ww2 genocide?
The death and destruction in Gaza? what about that?
Wait! I know! Are they brown?!
/sarcasm, dummies
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 acts in 🇮🇷 🇮🇷 🇮🇷 like 🇷🇺 🪆 🇷🇺 acts in 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦.
Man this sounds an awful lot like Russias MO.
Doesn’t work for them either.
No, it’s American as apple pie.
Sad day to see Russia so Americanised. Where’s the good old days of prison work camps and mass deportations into remote wildlands to create workforce, or bringing democracy to Afghanistan…
America has more non violent prisoners than any country to ever exist, lol.
They left a cutout in the constitution that allows slavery to be used for punishment for a crime.
Alternatively you could make an entire country, or even a block of countries, a prison and shoot people trying to escape it.
russians are more into firing ballistic missiles into residential housings in the middle of the night these days. still doesn’t work.
I don’t want to defend the US in any way re:this war, but Iran has hit civilians in Israel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_attacks_during_the_2026_Iran_war
Iran definitely has smarter leaders. Low bar, I know.
America over here calling up bestiality bros to fill FBI vacancies. Everything is under control under the reign of King Don’s stable genius.
“western barbarians” was always used as a trope in games and media to describe the us, by asians.
Look there have been at least 2,000 attacks on U.S. schools with guns… They just so happen to be performed by people from the U.S as well
In their efforts to Westernize Iran, the USA has bombed over 500 Iranian schools this year.
and only by RIGHT wingers, who are white.
They really choose their best school shooters
I’ll put on my cynical hat, and assume Iran isn’t a perfect humanitarian state.
They are fighting a different war, they know if the US gets the slightest amount of public support it’ll be Iraq/Afghanistan all over again, while the US is bombing Iran, Iran is fighting the propaganda war, and they are doing amazing.
From the lego videos, to only hitting targets the US public don’t care/can’t complain. Like military bases, Amazon Data centers…
They only have to fight until next election cycle. And this extremely unpopular offensive will be over. and they might even get a friendlier US administration.
Trump is 100% losing this war.
losing this war
That’s what America does
Iran is not perfect, but they do have very strong convictions and their own conception of what it means to be a humanitarian state.
Iran never developed or used chemical weapons against Iraq, even when Iraq used it against them. Producing chemical weapons is easy and Iran could have easily done it hade they wanted to.
In the same vein, Iran could have had nuclear weapons had they not decided to ban weapons of mass destruction.
Throwing Kurdish youth activists out of windows is a pretty broad definition of not perfect humanitarianism.
Source?
PJAK statements some 5 yrs back in this particular case, but Kurdish activists are killed there pretty much monthly.
Winning might not even be the point…
As always, the point is enriching the wealthy. How they do that is any way possible.
They only have to fight until next election cycle. And this extremely unpopular offensive will be over. and they might even get a friendlier US administration.
Chuck and Hakeem criticisms of the war is that it is not being run competently enough, when Trump had a stopped-clock-moment and signed the first peace deal, they and the rest of BlueMaga were saying TACO Trump.
I have no faith a Gavin Newsom presidency stops the war.
Americans may believe that Democrats will end the war, but I assure you Iranians are under no such delusions. This is not Trump’s war or Netanyahu’s war, it is the Pentagon’s war. Failure to realize this is cope.
Totes, Trump is nothing more then a good puppet.
There also aren’t too many US schools in the area, but a lot of military bases.

Still the only nation to have nuked cities.
Thank goodness it was the good guys who did it and the bad guys have never done it. It’d be horrific if the bad guys did it.
Eh, I get what you mean but imagine the Nazis started nuking.
They might have killed a quarter of a million civilians.
It just struck me. Germany invented missiles just before Japan sent their boys on suicide runs as living missiles. The nazi scientists in the US watching Japan throw so many people away must have felt pretty self satisfied
You are aware the nukes were dropped on Japan, not Germany, right? Like at that time Germany was already defeated.
Yeah the Japanese weren’t exactly doing great things at the time but their failure to offer a complete and immediate surrender following the collapse of the Nazi regime did not and could never justify the two most horrific, apocalyptic single attacks ever committed against a civilian population. The US leaders did it because they could, and because they wanted to show off their new toy.
Neither are Roman.
