    Extreme? They’re getting bombed, their public infrastructure is getting targeted, schoolchildren are dying, but killing US soldiers is a step too far???

        Tell me please, how do you stop an enemy army from killing your people & destroying your infrastructure? Do you think the US will go back if asked politely? Be serious

            Look, I get that, nobody wants bloodshed for bloodshed’s sake. But this is war, they are being attacked, there are troops massing near them while they’re getting bombed. Either they get brutally murdered, or they defend themselves. That or the US retreats; I think we both know that’s not happening.

            The conclusion seems fairly simple to me.

            And tbf I’m not particularly giving much worth to those who follow orders on the US & israeli side. They made their bed, they lie in it. You can’t expect to go and kill brown people for decades, sign up to be the next generation of that machine, and come out unscathed.

              There is a big difference between supporting them defending themselves and cheering on the war. What everyone should want is the war to stop, not more deaths.

                Please explain to me how Iran will defend themselves non violently without firing at the aggressive american military surrounding them…

                If basic self defense against an approaching military about to massacre you is cheering on war then disarming someone trying to shoot you to death is assault.
