Iran says it has launched retaliatory strikes against two US military bases in Jordan after US forces hit rocket launchers on Iran’s strategic Larak Island.

    Sadly, so is the US. Real change comes from within. If the people can’t make it themselves. If they’re relying on someone else to give it to him. They’ll never get it. This goes for Americans as much as Iranians.

    All anyone needs to do is look at how many different times over how many different decades we rug pulled the kurds. In Bosnia and elsewhere. Our government serves its interests only and then it gets out. It doesn’t really care about freedom.

    And I think a lot of the push back you’re getting, is that specifically in this case. Its the United States and it’s meddling is the cause of a lot of their problems. They revolutioned themselves into this as a result. Only another revolutionary change on their part will change it. Hopefully a more informed, less reactionary one.

    Honestly I originally read your post with a sarcastic tone.

        Domestically, Iran is worse, but internationally, the US has been the biggest detriment to human freedom since the end of world war 2.

        I agree. While Iran has fomented unrest elsewhere. They’ve never been as boots on the ground and directly engaged with it as the United States has.
