The American people are already getting flogged when they buy fuel and groceries. The longer this war continues the worse it will get. Nonetheless, the American people themselves are mostly safe at home, the precedent for Iran launching any sort of attacks against the American homeland is basically nonexistent. Even sending terror cells, you'd think Iran would be on this for how often their western critics accuse them of funding terrorism, but in America? Crickets. This war is bullshit.

No, we're not. It's bad. But it's nothing compared to Russia.

Not as bad as Russia... damning with faint praise, aren't we?

No. I'm calling out bullshit. If someone says Bob is a terrorist, and I say no, Bob is not a terrorist, I'm not damning Bob "with faint praise" by calling out a nonsense comparison.

There is plenty bad America is doing and threatening in this war. We don't need word games to discuss them adultly.

And you know about Russia how exactly? Ever been there?
Downvotes from ziofascists are always a great reward. Let's go for some more, do tell me, where have been the Iranian terror cells in America? We know the US funded terror cells in Iran, the president bragged amount arming groups in Iran to overthrow the government. When has Iran done this to America?

It hasn't happened. The narrative of Iran being a funder of terrorism is essentially bullshit, particularly in relation to America, and no less in relation to Israel (a state founded on acts of terrorism against the British and Palestinians.)

You're trying to educate the wilfully ignorant. I do it too, in the dim hope that maybe, just maybe, one hypocrite will actually look up the reality and get educated.

It's a fools errand, especially on Hypocrisy News, a politer version of Reddit.

Maybe you should shop hanging around here then. I'm unsure of exactly why you haven't been banned yet with your comment history.
No.
