nah, they have a very well oiled justification: iran is evil. that's it. that's ultimately what it all boils down to.
Can't even claim to bring democracy to Iran, their most likely candidate is the fucking Shah
Ironically my friend misspoke the other day and told me that Israel just killed the Shah of Iran. The times have been so nuts that I didn't even assume they were mistaken and mentally spun out trying to come up with a reason why Israel and America would kill both the ayetullah and the shah on the same day.
yeah, cuck schumer said some shit earlier about iran being america's oldest enemy. scolding trump for not having a public debate about doing the baby killing but implicitly agreeing with the principle of the thing. classic democrat shit.
and that's not even true, Korea and Cuba have longer been thorns in the side of the empire.
I think history is vibes based now. I've been noticing a lot of libs getting their order of events conveniently confused in screenshots when they're arguing with posters who go teaching marxism to the rest of lemmy.
That might work on some of the smooth-brain, diehard MAGA cultists but it is not even close enough to convince the general public in the US and internationally.
eh, the rest of the west will both sides a bit and then fall in line. like this: "yes, this was poorly thought out and congress didnt approve it, but i'm glad we're bombing iran, they're evil"
and then years later they'll say it was stupid and wrong while they do nothing about the current atrocity.
and say "yes the war was bad, but the Ayatollah was evil!"

second time as a farce because it's wild how they don't see it coming.
I really don't think the majority of the working class are THIS gullible, surely, right? Right??
this guy looks scary!
Manicheanism alive and well in the 21st century :augustine-shining:
“Well-oiled” 😏
