    wikipedia articles are good for reference, not absolute truth. your link literally references the new york times as a source for the 30k figure, which is preposterous at best. it’s literally the us itself claiming it.

    now take a good look at the scale of both articles linked in this discussion. this number would be closer to zero if not for the us attempt to meddle.

    this is not a both sided issue, and iran is not as deserving of anything as the global murderous empire. conservatives are so hard to argue with.

            LOL at comparing the global fascist empire, raining death upon the world to a smallish theocracy in the middle east that mostly keeps to themselves.

            we will support anti-imperialism over letting nazis divide and conquer us.

            you fascists and fascist leaning libs aren’t actually that special though…

              Repeating the same shit doesn’t make it more true. Where did I compare them? Quote me

              You’re more of a fascist than I am if you think a regime that suppresses the rights of women is good.

                no it doesn’t. what makes this true is that it is true.

                not that i didn’t try to explain, but if you refuse to accept this basic fact, i get why you simply won’t get it. maybe you are a sheltered westerner, that’d make sense.

                but hey, i can ask you to quote me where did i told you a theocracy is good, so we can play your game of no u-ing eachother.

                or maybe i shouldn’t bother and call this one a day. yeah i think that’s what’s gonna be, bye.

                  Nope still doesn’t make it true. You know it’s all in your head, right?

                  I never compared the US and Iran.

                  I never said Iran has done worse than what the US has done.

                  I never said I think this war is justified. (It isn’t)

                  I have not argued for any of these things, yet you hallucinated these arguments in your head.

                  I simply said that the Iranian Regime are not good guys and for some reason this triggers you, which is why I guessed that you think they are good. But if you truly don’t:

                  Do you agree that the current Iranian regime is a bad government that should eventually be put to trial for what it has done to it’s own people?
