Its really saying something when the bulk of the world, and even a lot of Americans, are happy when Iran gets to embarrass the orange buffoon in the Oval Bordello.
If you're rooting for Trump to look dumb and for him to "lose" because he's an authoritarian war mongering bastard thats alright, if you're so upset about this administrations actions you're rooting for... well Authoritarian war mongering bastards... well..
It's not a football match, its a war for fucks sake. You should be rooting for the civilian populations. Not the nations, because its their governments that are causing the conflict to happen.
No. The enemy of our enemy is not our friend. Iran murdered 30,000 people just for demonstrating against the regime. The Iranian government are not worth rooting for.
That 30,000 number sounds like State Dept bullshit. That being said, the Iranian government does not uphold the values I would like to see in a government.
But...starting a war with them, killing their leaders, etc is only going to make them more extreme, not more moderate. And right now they are the only force in the world successfully pushing back against an American Empire running amok. Wishing them victory is like rooting for the success of the Soviets in 1942.
People should be on the side of the civilians in any war. There's the ones with weapons, and the ones those weapons are pointed at. And no one should ever side with the ones holding the weapons.
Hate our government and policies all you want but dont give up on the American people, there are tons of good people, alot more than the bad ones, its just you only hear about the bad ones but this country if full of good people
Post doesnt say anything about giving up on American people. Iran can come out on top and we can still fight for a better future here. Ive been wishing the best for Iran since we butchered all those children and 1st responders back in Feb. I hope their people see what comes from conservatives/religious nutjobs/facists and come out of this "war" a better country.
It's really starting to land home for me that the world doesn't need our policing (which Ive always kind of known but Go America, amirite).... and all these years of interfering with other countries has done nothing for me as an American.
We did a good thing helping form the UN. We did a VERY bad thing not ensuring we were held as accountable as any other country in the community of nations by it.

I just want the war to end. Iran should be paid reparations, and the people who causes this war should be tried for war crimes.
I don't want Iran to win, or to lose, this isn't a sports game. I'm not sure what Iran winning would even look like.

American who always rooted for Iran. Also FU Lasan. (Do the mods censor that tradition now too?)

Frankly I want everyone to loose except the Iranian civil population

I've been rooting for anyone and anything that's against Trump's interests for years.

Me too, friend. Me too. I hate him even more for making me do that

Why? Iran's hatred for the usa has been valid for the full time they've been at odds with the usa. The usa initiated this, 50 years ago

I want it to end.

On hearing that Trump moved to a non-descript plane for his journey home to the safety of the Regime, due to a 'Credible Threat' from Iran
"Oh, are we friends with Iran now?"
AmbroseWolfinger
I don’t care if they take him out, so long as he is constantly afraid for his life.

iran is just an illusion my boy. The US are and have always been the opressor.

The Iranian people didn't ask for any of this. Root for humanity.

The regime that the usa put in place to prevent iran from nationalizing its oil.

It is a bs number. From what I read the only source for it is Israel intelegence.
SwissScars
I read that America is assisting in the Palestinian Genocide. The American government is not worth rooting for.
mrthewhitee
Rooting for someone doesn't mean you think they're your friend. It just means you want them to win this specific conflict and I certainly do too.
Also there's 0 evidence for that 30k number, fyi. They killed protesters for sure but the only source for that 30k number is Israel intelegence.

I have seen how the American people vote. I dont have trust in the majority anymore.

The difference between Iran and US gov is Americans chose their fascism.

Yeah but the bad ones are trying to wreck all other countries as well. It’s hard not to see the whole country as a dangerous enemy at this point.

I want to feel as exceptional as the next American, but man this world is a global one. Our actions do not reflect well on our values at the moment
