“There’s thinking in and around the administration that the politics are a lot better if the Israelis go first and alone and the Iranians retaliate against us, and give us more reason to take action,” one of the sources told Politico under the condition of anonymity.

No one wants you to bomb Iran idiots.

There are literally dozens of Iranians asking for it on European streets. Demonstrations every week, often very explicitly asking for that.

There were literally thousands of Americans who stormed the capitol on January 6, 2021. Do you think their will to overturn the election should have been carried out?

Nope, but also can't see any resemblance with the Iranian situation.

"The people" rising up and making demands. You seem to think dozens of people making a demand should have the backing of foreign intervention. What do you think of thousands making demands? Why support one and not the other?

Their demanding being to destroy democracy or instead implementing it. But I guess you can't see that difference.

How much democracy did we bring to Iraq?

[–] NorskSud@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago

Iraqis we're not demonstrating asking the US to bomb their regime. You're mixing different things all the time..
