    Well, most European leaders were pretty happy to support the Palestinian genocide (under Biden), the illegal kidnapping of a countries leader in Venezuela, and even were on board with Iran in the stages of the initial invasion. I know narratives change quickly but have we forgotten about all the “they killed 40k protesters” bull shit already? I swear people have the memory of a goldfish.

    European (and most of the world’s) leaders and media were justifying the invasion not long ago. They just did the “well, this should have been approved…” hand waving to give them a chance to fall back later if it went badly.

    Well, it went badly. They aren’t tired of his shit. They just pivot when his shit hits the fan. I don’t see any of them calling for a release of the president of Venezuela or a coalition of the willing to put an end to the genocide and ethnic cleansing Israel/America continues to enact.

    If the price of oil wasn’t going through the roof no one would care. It’s why no one even mentions what America/Israel are doing to Lebanon right now.

      Fuck America and its war. But if you truly believe the iranian regime didn’t mass murder a lot of its citizens during the protests, you are either naive or blindly loyal towards anyone that is against the US.

        If you believe it was 40k people and that it’s at all relevant to the US invading than you’re the one that’s naive. If the US cared about people dying unjustifiably in other countries it would invade Israel and defund its own military afterwards.

          We know that it was a lot. Might be 20k, might be 40k might be 60k. Either way, calling it “bullshit” is just fucked up.

          Where did I say it justifies the war?
