That's how the whole world is feeling about America now, yes. Nobody outside of America and Israel were ever remotely bothered by Iran. Especially not Japan, which had a good relationship with Iran going back a century. It's really just absurd how America decided to attack a partner of Japan and damage our economy so much for zero benefit whatsoever.

That is not true. Saudi Arabia has been fighting a proxy war with them for years. The EU and Uk have had sanctions on them for years. Lots of people care about their treatment of religious minorities, gays and women.

Europe had sanctions to avoid the American sanctions on places that didn't have sanctions, they'd rather trade with America than with Iran, but they don't actually care themselves.

When did the US threaten sanctions on western Europe?

Much of Europe has a problem with Russia and Iran is an ally of Russia. They supply each other with weapons.

I'm really not sure which country you're talking about here. Saudi Arabia? Because Saudi Arabia is even worse than Iran in this respect but they're not being bombed. Should they be bombed?

[graemep]

I am aware of that. Its a list and those people are a different item to Saudi Arabia. I mean people in lots of countries as a counter example to 'nobody'

>zero benefit whatsoever.

There were benefits achieved. I'm assuming you're a traditional Japaneese person that's not familiar with USA drama-level politics. But these drama-level politics are now affecting the fate of the whole world*.

There is/was a children lovers ring which was gradually being revealed to have ties to many important people. People ready to start wars and cause suffering of millions just to steer the public opinion away from revelations on this child-lovers ring. You can learn more about this ring by googling it's apparent leader, whos name rhymes with Frankenstein. It looks like a man, who used to be named Milejkowski and has Polish roots, also had a great influence on this war even happening. His apparent leverage on Trump is not neccesarily disconnected from Frankenstein.

And this attempt to steer the public opinion away from the subject until mid-term elections are done has largery succeeded. At least until the whole operation stopped being Venezuela '26 and is slowly nearing something like American Invasion of Vietnam.

Additionally, while US people loose money due to Trump's War, many US companies are making a good buck on it (oil, military, more?). And these companies have money to influence US goverment decisions.

Sorry to say it, as this makes the world look much more cynical and evil. At least compared to a world where Trump's War was started to zero benefit whatsoever. There are people benefitting on your loss. And even though your loss is arguably greater than their benefit, they don't care.

* There's a good chance that thousands, worst case even millions, will starve. There are already crops NOT being planted due to fertilizer and fuel prices hike. Lack of this food will be felt in a few months to a year from now.
