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.”
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.
russians are more into firing ballistic missiles into residential housings in the middle of the night these days. still doesn’t work.
“western barbarians” was always used as a trope in games and media to describe the us, by asians.
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
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
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.
There also aren’t too many US schools in the area, but a lot of military bases.
Winning might not even be the point…
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.
Neither are Roman.
Uh, Iran has bombed a bunch of civilian sites. Also massacred tens of thousands of activists then blacked out the internet to hide it from the world.
Sorry, but there are no good guys in this one.
So Iran was able to kill as many civilians as Israel did in 2 years, in one week, hide the bodies, clean the blood, and convince the families not to say anything? No news footage, no cell footage…
We just have to take the word of a pedophile rapist billionaire government?
All this while mossad literally admitted to having agents in the protests??
massacred tens of thousands of activists
Trump literally admitted they had armed them.
Was Iran supposed to let US proxies just prevent them from defending themselves?
Also a prime sponsor of terrorism all over the Middle East. Sure, the US shouldn’t be there and shouldn’t be acting like assholes, but you’re 100% correct. No good guys.
The USA is the number one sponsor of global terror, the fuck you talking about?
Who tried to steal who’s oil in the 50’s?
Who tried and succeeded to overthrow a democratically elected government in Iran and instill the Shaw in the 50’s?
Who traded arms for hostages in the late 1970’s and where did the money come from to buy said arms?
Who is Oliver North and why is he a CNN analyst?
Imagine if Iran did this to the USA?
All the USA does is cause terror and pain throughout the world and history.
The US isn’t making Iran have the death penalty for adultery.
The US isn’t enforcing Irans draconian moral laws and the US didn’t murder Jina Amini in a prison cell.
The mullah regime manages to be terrible all without the US/Zionist interventions.
The way to remove them is not a bombing campaign, but if they all died of turbo aids tonight I’d do a happy little dance.
Everyone’s shit here and the primary victims are the Iranian people.
Surely the cure is bombing their civilian infrastructure and sanctioning them to death.
If they stayed out of the middle east and didn’t force Israel to exist you would see a lot less “terrorism” so don’t blame middle eastern countries because dumb colonizers(UK) and their colony(USA) exists. A lot of the current problems in the middle east stem from the colonizers being dumbasses for over 100 years.
This right here. Add to that the fact that many undocumented migrants from Central and South America are often escaping political environments that are the direct result of predatory and/or parasitic American policies.
Intrusive American foreign policy is often the source of bad situations around the world.
Who are the real barbarians?
Uh…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_the_Islamic_Republic_of_Iran
Iran is only hitting US military bases in other countries, because even now an attack on US soil is a terrible idea.
trump and Iran are both evil, but Iran isn’t ran by idiots. They understand the game.
Like in most conflicts, both sides can be shitty. But Iran makes what trump is doing with ICE like nothing. They’re both evil and shouldn’t be in power, but Iran’s government has killed looooads more Iranians than trump.
I wonder what Iran would be like if it still had its democratic government before the U.S. and U.K. orchestrated a coup in 1953 that installed the Shah for the crime of nationalizing their oil industry. Iran was on a path to democracy and the US undid that and installed an authoritarian leader.
Obviously way better…
But that’s not whose been running Iran?
Like, America would be a lot better off if Al Gore and Bernie Sanders had been elected too.
Right, but the people running Iran right now are the result of the US interfering explicitly to combat Iran’s socialization of their oil. Which reflexively led to the Iranian Revolution and the current Islamic Republic. The current regime would not exist without US interference. Al Gore and Bernie Sanders suffered domestic interference, not foreign.

I am not sure you want to go down this road, the US has killed likely millions of children in iraq, iran, afganistan, yemen, etc
Millions? Bruh if you want to be taken seriously you have at least try to sound like you know what numbers mean
Lol. Not a big fan of the news, eh?
the US has killed likely millions of children in iraq, iran, afganistan, yemen, etc
The fuck are you talking about even?
-
Why add a shit ton of countries?
-
I’d still be surprised if they directly killed millions of children in all of the middle east. But even if they had, why wouldn’t you compare that to how many Irans government has killed in all those countries?
Google it and get back to us

Sorry, but this is a false equivalence.
Of course things are terrible inside Iran, especially for women. However. This is about each country’s military strategy.
If you want to whataboutism into “but look at their human rights for their own people”, I will gladly send you here and there for a moment of pause and reflection.
And yes Iran is strategecally far superior in the way they are playing this, but if you think that through, you will understand that Donny and Benji are providing a perfect external threat to Iran, bolstering the perceived need for a ‘protector’ in the from of the IRG.
This zionist war is helping Iran to keep it’s status quo, rather than letting the people continue the beginnings of a groundswell movement which was beginning to take place right before the war.
Your wiki article far from unbiased, and you might want to take into account who’s been interfering for over half a century tool.
TLDR; don’t compare a theocracy vs a (kleptocracy + theocracy) and say one is better than the other. Go print a newspaper in Jerusalem with FREE PALESTINE as the headline, or go walk around freely as a hispanic looking person in any democratic state in the US.
Iran is only hitting US military bases in other countries, because even now an attack on US soil is a terrible idea.
US military bases in other countries are very explicitly considered “US soil.”
Do you expect a country defending itself against attack to travel around the world to attack instead of using those resources defensively?
They very much are not, at least not by default. That’s typically reserved for embassies and consulates. Many foreign bases remain under host nation control.
I am definitely not an expert on Iran, so I will not say whether Iran truly has a history of human rights abuses or not, but I have to say the citations of that Wikipedia article ia full of citations from sources that have clear vested interest in the United State hegemony. This is the exact kind of Wikipedia article teachers warned aginst citing when I was in school.
so I will not say whether Iran truly has a history of human rights abuses or not
In the time it took you to type that a rational adult could have just looked it up…
You’re from .ml, I have zero idea what you would consider an acceptable source. And I’m not fucking playing that game where every time I link something you say it’s not good enough.
This is the exact kind of Wikipedia article teachers warned aginst citing when I was in school.
You didn’t understand then
You don’t understand now.
I see no reason to believe my time would be more helpful than you’re teachers.
you’re teachers.
Don’t accuse others of failing to learn from their teachers lol.
Yeah man, autocorrect isn’t a thing…
Still not surprising .ml thinks Iran are good guys.
They are against America. Like… Not even a question.
Are you talking about Iran or .ml users?
Because if the later, yeah no shit, here in vietnam, there’s still areas with insane birth defects due to agent orange and elevated arsenic due to agent blue.
Iran are the good guys if we are comparing them to America.
not a meme, OP needs to post more funnies.
here, I’ll start:
They’re both barbarians, if by barbaric you mean “murders civilians”.
Iran has murdered a lot of their own people though, let’s not be silly.
I wouldn’t say the USA is “better”, but I’d wager that the US kills less of its own citizens per capita. We generally don’t murder thousands of protestors at a time, instead it’s a respectable dozen or so.
The reason that they have only hit military bases is that their missiles have a limited range, they’d certainly hit the mainland if their missiles were capable of it. I can’t tell if this is a joke or not, but no.
I think that we shouldn’t even have a single military base there, but we decided long ago to maintain a presence in the Middle East for various strategic reasons, so we founded Israel and built a bunch of bases and sent weapons to everyone in the region to keep them busy killing each other. We appear to be irreversibly committed, by “we” I mean whomever is in charge of our world-wide ambitions.
(Just kidding, it’s JP Morgan)
everything is in the “another”
