Meanwhile, Iran war

SOH closed. Again.

This administration literally destroyed a functional reflective pool, can’t seem to know how to fix the f*ck up, and now are attempting to put innocent people in prison in an attempt to deflect from their incompetence.

If that’s not the biggest metaphor for how this war started (and how this administration operates in general), then I don’t know what is.

Says this - allows Iran to sell oil for 60 days.

“Talk softly and carry a big stick,” - still the wisest policy.

Our current policy- talk loudly about swinging a big stick

What is the purpose of booing at the Iran soccer team?

This article indicates people booed during the Iranian national anthem, not so much at the team. That the protests were against the IRGCC and not the soccer team.

Hey, that’s Iranian expats against the current government. A good use of freedom of speech

A lot of the booing was from Iranian-Americans who, as a general rule, STRONGLY OPPOSE Iran’s current regime.

Many of those same fans also came with old Shah-era Iranian flags to fly in the stands.

I mean it makes sense that Iranian expats boo representatives of the current regime even if they’re just soccer players. It’s a chance to express something directly that they don’t really get a true chance to

Okay! I guess I can stand corrected and admit it.

Iran never blew up an American school like we did at the start of this excursion. Thanks for your attention to this matter

Look, that school bombing was horrible and likely preventable. But I don’t understand why you keep basically acting like Iran’s intentional attacks (directly or through proxies) of US interests, killing plenty of US citizens, damaging US installations, funding terror attacks on US allies, and even killing of thousands of their own people for protesting just don’t matter.

Who said they don’t matter?

They matter but don’t equate to double stinking a girl’s school either intentionally or criminal negligence !

Intent is a higher culpable mental state in the law.

Comparatively WORSE.

That’s why such comparisons are silly.

Then declare war on Iran
They attacked our troops in the region
We blew up leaders in the homes.
One sounds more like terrorists than the other
