Imagine a terrorist attack against the Trump admin in the following weeks, and someone coming in to say "you'd be surprised, but the people of the USA have been waiting for this moment for months. There are 100 million people who want an end to Trump". People never, ever, under any circumstances, want to be attacked and bombed by another country. Not even the biggest dissidents rotting in regime jails would welcome this. Not even a little bit. | |||||||||||||||||

Even most children or partners of abusive people feel defensive when an outsider intervenes. Nevermind getting your country bombed by strangers. Spending days reading news that hide people behind symbols make some forget that we're dealing with human relationship. | |||||||||||||||||

You write this because you don’t understand what people in Iran have been dealing with for the past 45 years. It is one thing to not like the political leadership, but another thing if the government oppresses the population. Those of us in America are privileged that we can’t fathom what that means. | |||||||||||||||||

If the attack was specifically targeting the US to encourage the downfall of Trump, I am sure there are millions of Americans that would be celebrating. Spend some time on Bluesky – they'd love it over there if the attacks didn't literally hit them. They can't seem to see much further than that. | |||||||||||||||||
