Iran vs the US Megathread

[Ethel mermania]

Yeah, keep telling yourself that.

Yeah the Iranians are decades away from being able to hit the US with a nuke. Now hey do have a policy of Nuking Europe to retaliate for a US invasion.

They will nuke Israel before europe.

Iranians on r/Iran celebrating this fucker’s death and thanking America for taking out the trash

Also this cartoon made by an Iranian

[Rojava Free State]

Every week trump will bring 10 random Iranians to the white house and will decide by a coin flip who lives and who dies

Nah, that's the job of Big Pharma and the medical conglomerates, not President Trump.

Iranian diplomat: I hope this meeting can be productive. We can-

Trump: how much have you ever lost on a coin toss?

Dude israel has nukes. With the stated policy of literally bringing nuclear holocaust upon the world if Israel was in danger of falling. They aren’t scared.

Exactly why we should park a ballistic missile sub right off the coast and first strike them tbh.

That is first of all based on the false assumption the “Sampson Option” exists the way critics of Israel claim.

Secondly it makes no sense, because Ohio class are designed to be fired at extremely long range, putting them near the target is a bad idea.

There are varied reactions in this thread. Could you please elaborate on which one.

[The Lone Alliance]

Not everyone. Iran is a possibility but not 100%. Nobody is gonna be stupid enough to fire a nuke because of Trump

Yeah, keep telling yourself that.

If they are stupid enough to do that then it just proves we have world leaders who are unarguably stupider than Trump. And in someone who literally would make Trump look like a stable genius compared to them.

I don't think anyone wants to go down in history as the person who ended the world because Trump made them mad.

Israel has second strike capability thanks to their Dolphin class submarines and their cruise missiles.

What that I don't like fighting endless wars? I think everyone should be against that

I don’t see people outright sympathizing with Soleimani the way people on Twitter or Reddit are doing, so at least NSG is slightly sane

Although most of the people who are sympathizing with him probably don’t know anything about him and are just doing it because Trump indirectly killed him

The mindless response has largely been insane; this dude killed hundreds of Americans, one as recently as a week ago, and people are retreating into partisanship. I use to think another 9/11 would bring us all together again but it's clear those times are gone.

Soleimani was a fucked up guy and lived as he died. I'm just against a war with iran because our soldiers and innocent people will suffer as a result, but we didn't lose anything when this guy kicked the bucket

That’s a problem, I bet most of these people will change their mind if they were told what he actually did, but mainstream media won’t reveal that

At least the Democratic candidates recognize him as a bad guy

Why do I feel this is akin to that photo of people tearing down saddam's statue? You know, the one where they zoomed in to make it look like everyone was there participating in it but in reality it was a small crowd doing it

After all they’ve been through, the citizens of Aleppo finally have something to celebrate

That sounds like a mainstream media tactic, wouldn’t be surprised if the video was from a mainstream source, but this is some random Syrian guy on twitter

Is he though? I mean that seriously like is this guy just a random Syrian or reporter? Is he with a rebel group? Who is he exactly?

Seems like a random guy recording stuff on his cell phone and putting it on Twitter

We live in an era where random accounts are more trustworthy than blue checks

Sorry if some people are annoyed President Cheeto Skin has decided to poke yet another country.

He killed an American literally a week ago and attacked our embassy, at this point you're being willfully obtuse.

Umm then why has he had to keep the country under foreign military control?
