    It’s not like they were minding their business and got attacked. Iran is a state sponsor of terror

      So the is Saudi Arabia, the CIA, and Israel 🤷

      The bombing of the Iranian embassy was absolutely nothing but pure unadulterated provocation.

            Most of them ask the US for help. It’s not some kind of gotcha, Ukraine would love US troops to shoot down Iranian drones

              Doesn’t mean they should go in, like in Vietnam. Nor in Iraq. Nor in Afghanistan. Nor in…

                They should definitely help Ukraine more. If US had troops deployed in Ukraine prior to the war the outcome would be better than what is happening now.

                  I’m not sure how that is relevant, nor how that is backed up by any historical examples of US intervention.

                    South Korea is free because of the US. Everything would be North Korea now if the US did nothing

              Assad asked for Iran’s help while fighting ISIS and Turkish backed Islamist militants. Whatever you think about it, they are there legally and with the concent of the government in power.

                  To defend against people who gas people…

                  But it’s irrelevant to the current situation

                    It’s not irrelevant, the whole world is choosing sides

                    Russia, Assad, Iran + proxies (Houthis, for example) are the “hate America” side
