The “us regime” man im crying. You guys really are stretching shit so hard. You mean the democratically elected officials? You mean the person 75 million people voted to lead the country? Just so beyond idiotic so say things like that. It’s also funny because these countries are the same ones who will come running tail tucked asking the US for help when they get attacked. While also simultaneously ruining any remaining diplomatic ties trying to appease a terrorist state so you get your terrorist oil back.( looking at you, France.)

Well, I dont deny that US vassal states are pathetic as well.
I mean, look at the GCC. They spent billions only for the US military to show how inept it is and how incapable it is at defending the GCC assets.
But it also quite rich to talk about democracy, when it is just oligarchs and AIPAC zealots doing pretend play of two political parties, while both sides secretly have "fun time" at remote private islands.
In the end, either red or blue do their war shenanigans amd other such dumb stuff. The only real difference they make is when they nullify what the previous admin did just out of spite it seems.
This whole facade is made even funnier by how the several recent elections have been just a choice between two freaks.
Well, if the US populace is being conditioned to be two-legged cattle, then I guess that it isn't surprising that elections alone are enough for them to actually believe on muh democracy.

They make up their own rules to put pressure on USA because USA have a good relationship with Kuwait. Even the UN condemned these unjustified terroist attacks.
Their missiles and drones in Iran can't reach the USA and maybe they can't reach Israel, so they just fire it at the neighbouring countries.

No, they're just trying to terrorize people into submission. The Islamic Republic rules by fear. It terrorizes people in the hope that they will back down due to fear of more terrorism. This tactic does not work and it backfired spectacularly. Terrorism never results in people backing down. Terrorism always enrages people and inspires them to fight back.

Big-Prune65915 days ago

Yeah i agree. As far as i can tell they are trying to hold countries dependent on the oil hostage. France already capitulated.
Its not just about US bases. They seem to want to damage the infrastructure of surrounding nations during this conflict so they can blame it on the US. Then they seem to want to get a ceasefire, establish the 2 million "toll" as the new norm.
It makes me kind of see if a nuke developed itll become less a tit for tat, and will instead become a "I shoot you, you shoot me back and ill nuke you". This will be true for countries ranging from SA to france.

France 24 Investigation (Published April 4, 2026)
France 24 verified and geolocated multiple videos showing that on at least two occasions — March 24 and March 31 — US missiles were launched from HIMARS launchers inside Kuwaiti territory. By analyzing camera positions, angles toward oil infrastructure, and triangulating lines of sight, the outlet identified a launch zone east of the town of Abdali, near oil-drilling towers. The distance to the launch site was estimated by measuring the delay between the visible flash of the launch and the sound of the missile firing.

LMAO not you quoting France 24. The article was written by 2 Iranian journalists using videos from Twitter as an attempt to justify Iran’s actions against Kuwait. The article itself acknowledges that it can't differentiate for certain between offensive and missiles and defensive interceptors, and acknowledges that they could be interception missiles, which they actually are, so even the “journalists” are skeptical and have no solid proof. This proves to show how easily brainwashed you are and how easily deceived you are by Iranian propaganda. You didn’t even bother to fact check or read the whole article, or even look at the pathetic videos that have no context whatsoever.
I dare you to prove it using reliable, credible, unbiased sources. I have plenty that document Iran’s crimes against Kuwait.

Yeah that’s really up to debate. Did we start it? How long until they had nukes and could really hold the world and oil hostage? How long until they did what they’re doing to the strait anyways? How many more dead civilians? How many more months and years of limited internet access? How many more years of being afraid to speak out because YOULL BE PUBLICLY EXECUTED. Yes that happens they just did it a week or so ago. And that’s one of the big ones for me. You can sit behind a screen and pretend to understand things but when you just completely disregard the fact you can have your head chopped off in a town square for speaking up is when you lose all credibility. You have absolutely no idea what that even is remotely like.

I’m sorry but who is getting executed on the side of the road? 99% of police departments across the entire United States have body cameras that are rolling the entire time and are subject to legal review. Even on simple duis that body camera is presented as evidence in court.
On the subject of nukes we simply have no reason to use them and to try and turn the argument around is just weird. Why would the United States even do that? The anti US rhetoric has gotten completely out of control. I get what you are saying but that’s obviously just not true anyways. Israel has nukes so in your logic why haven’t they launched them yet? Hezbollah sets up in Lebanon territory and launches rpgs daily alongside atgms. every single day. But yeah they invaded for no reason.
Without nukes any military would have a very hard time defeating the entire continental United States. There would be millions of casualties something the world has NEVER seen before.
