Which peaceful country are you talking about?
I'm totally against the bombing, but let's not pretend or imply Iran is peaceful.
Iran is shitty and repressive and fucking awful to their people
But geopolitically they're a pretty good neighbor. The only person who ever got them to be aggressive was that guy, famous romance novelist, forget his name.
Like the Austrian dude who keeps women in his basement but always pays his share and half of yours when the fence gets old
But geopolitically they’re a pretty good neighbor
Fucking what.
Iran should not have been bombed by this administration. But they're the only force in the region worse than the Saudis for funding proxies and shipping paramilitaries to attack their enemies.
I'll admit that I'm not very clear on what their peoxies actually do? Setting aside the obvious Assad (which, yeah youre right, that's sure as hell not peaceful) what are they doing with those people?

I mean Iran is, for the most part, pretty peaceful. They pretty much only attack when attacked.

maybe if we overthrow their government for oil money--again--they'll be more peaceful?
It's a recipe for success!
like my second marriage! it cant fail twice i tells ya
I just checked out of interest and in fact second marriage have a higher divorce rate, I'd have thought it's the other way round, like people know what they actually want from a spouse, but interestingly, it's the other way around by a significant margin.

Iran is peaceful?
Damn, I need some of the kool aid you're drinking.
A peaceful country doesn't kill women for not wearing a rapist apologist costume.
You can, in fact, do that and still be a peaceful country. That's not what the word peaceful means.

I wish I could get Democrats to care about war and military over-spending when a Republican isn't in charge.
Have you tried not drinking "both sides" republican whataboutism propaganda?
Apparently, the entire multi-year fight resulting in hundreds-of-billions cut from the military budget by Obama is all forgotten as soon as people want to beat the "DEMS BAD" drum.

One day America will be nothing but a bad memory for humanity.
One can dream.
If we don't fuck up the climate too badly.
Hey, what's our high score so far?
Why is the intern here with the vice president
Have you said "Thank you"?
That's what JD Vance looks like? /s
Thanks
Now give us your rare earth minerals
No
But he lowered egg prices by 400%. I mean, no idea how that works, but he did it.
I still remember you shitting on Biden constantly when he was the best president since Carter.
Biden couldn't even be bothered to push Israel to let a proper amount of aid in and pretend a temporary ceasefire in Gaza for his election chances. What makes you think he wouldn't have salivated at his master Netanyahu ringing the bell for his dog to bomb Iran for him?
Biden was very far from perfect but he was still better than the low bar set for him which is what the other guy implied.
Plus I have zero reason to believe Biden would have bombed Iran because he's actually intelligent, Trump did it because he was told it would make Iran come to the peace talks and he believed it because he's a fucking potato

Well Biden didn’t bomb Iran so there’s that.
This is the Democratiic parties election platform 2024 (see P82/P83):
Through aggressive diplomacy backed by U.S. military power, the Administration has worked alongside our allies and partners to deter and defend against Iran and its terrorist surrogates. President Biden has postured U.S. military forces in the region and authorized precision airstrikes on key Iranian-linked targets tied to attacks against U.S. troops to deter further aggression by Iran. President Biden has also continued to protect the American people from terrorism, authorizing military strikes that took out ISIS emirs and the leader of Al Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri. In response to brazen attacks by Iranian-linked Houthi forces against international commercial shipping, U.S. naval vessels in the Red Sea, and Israel, President Biden ordered military strikes, alongside key allies, against Houthi targets and organized Operation Prosperity Guardian, a coalition of more than 20 nations committed to defending international shipping and deterring Houthi attacks.
When Iran launched more than 300 missiles and drones against Israel in April 2024, President Biden led an unprecedented defensive coalition – together with partners from Europe and across the Middle East – to defeat the attack, protect Israel, and stop the spread of a wider war. Through direct defensive action by the U.S. military and its partners, Iranian munitions did not cause significant damage, demonstrating both America’s ironclad commitment to the security of Israel and our unrivaled ability to leverage growing regional integration among U.S. partners to counter Iranian aggression.
All of this stands in sharp contrast to Trump's fecklessness and weakness in the face of Iranian aggression during his presidency. In 2018, when Iranian-backed militias repeatedly attacked the U.S. consulate in Basra, Iraq Trump’s only response was to close our diplomatic facility.
They are literally calling Trump "weak" for not engaging militarily enough.
