Trump is so legitimately brain damaged it can be very hard to tell of he is legitimately spewing mind goop or if he thinks everyone is stupid (as in he was actually fully behind it always, which there is genuine reason to doubt)

My point with the portrayal wasn't really to try and get to the bottom of that but rather just, I think most of us see it here see how pathetic it looks either way in the end. I dont think he's literally a Manchurian candidate puppet so much as foreign interest really hope he's to the US as Gorbachev was to the USSR (which Russia is not shy about at all)

Then started executing a ton of people. Under the guise of security infiltration. But sounds to me like a dictator, trying to tighten the belt when people were talking about changing up the regime.

Are you surprised? Did you just learn about Iran this week? I didn't see anyone here, except maybe Stable Genius, writing about how great the Iranian government is - they have a theocratic dictatorship, and the people suffer under its rule.

What I did see posted here was criticism against people, like you, who were excited to see foreign bombs used as some pathway to beneficial regime change - who either had no knowledge of the history of US-led regime change, no knowledge of the history of foreign intervention in the Middle East, or were easily influenced by pro-war propaganda - or perhaps some combination of all three.

Yeah, wanting people to have freedom. That's definitely not licking a boot.
I supported the democracy protest in China too.

Didn't know you were such a big supporter of Iran's regime. Wanting that to stay the same is licking a boot.

I saw the ecstatic pushing for nuclear proliferation.  Literally the most brain dead moronic take in the history of the politics sub, and that's saying something.

What is this referring to? Foreign bombs used as some pathway to beneficial regime change; or something else? Can you list a few examples?

"The literal force in charge of crushing their freedoms have been getting missile struck. I can't think of a better opportunity."

You can't think of a better opportunity than foreign missiles striking Iran. Yes, you keep saying that you don't support bombing Iran, but when that is interspersed with you saying that "This is an excellent opportunity" or "This is the best opportunity they've had to overthrow that dictatorship in decades", and the 'opportunity' in question is foreign nations bombing Iran, guess what that means?
edit
Which, in your opinion means that will fill in the blanks to make the leap in logic that would twist my words into meaning this.

You support bombing Iran as the pathway to regime change in the country.

Yes, but I was thinking more along the lines of post-WW2 as that was the beginning of modern global political dynamics with the USA as the superpower

I never said that I supported a bombing regime. I said that this is an opportunity. When people leave a jar of cookies on the countertop and you're alone with it. That's an opportunity. Does that mean I support cookie jars being emptied. Mothers being away from their children?

Your position is nebulous at best.
I've been consistently supporting regime since before I even came to this site.

You just wanna throw rocks. But I don't fit your criteria.

Typical mob behavior.
Just filling in the blanks for yourselves to get mad at something.


Show me the proof that I asked for violence.

Or show me another quote where I think this is an opportunity that should be taken and not ignored. Because that's what this thread is about…
