>And I wrote that the US is at war with an enemy _state_

The US toppled it's democratically elected leader in the 50s, installed a brutal "king" dictator, and when they finally overthrew him it armed their neighborhood Iraq to wage war on them killing millions, then enforced global sanctions to it (causing tremendous damage to its economy and operation), and still meddles in the region.

Them saying some slogans like that is not even a blip on the radar, compared to the murderous shit the US has done to them for profit and spite.

The nerve for the US to play the victim here...

First off I'm not American, just to be clear. But I don't see the US playing the victim. They're involved in a conflict.

Iranians are playing victims, and they are, but they're victims to their own government's actions, being the foremost funder of anti-west terrorism and sentiment.

If they want things to change, I'd look at the closer threat -- their theocratic government.
