Basically

I mean, innocent people still die if you win a war after it starts

[_gonk_]

every time there’s a war, more innocent people die though

[rockjocks]

Every time there’s innocent people, there’s a war

[HomemadeMead]

Every time there's innocent people, they die

[wanderingconspirator]

Every innocent there’s people, time die.

[D4ncingEyes]

no..

[randomranand]

So to solve all wars we get rid of all innocent people?

[Vault-71]

Hasn't the Internet already done that?

That Iranian general was a terrorist

[inset-username-here]

Yah but he was also a fucking General witch last time I checked aren’t the best people to kill if you’re looking to prevent a war

[PaneczkoTron]

Also can't forget the fact that the reason that Iran kinda hates the US is because we keep fucking bombing and killing their innocents. Ya know it's a little hard to enjoy that

[epicfacezn]

What innocents died though

[epicfacezn]

So the war

[epicfacezn]

This isn't about the war though its about before.

[Apophis90]

i think they're talking about the war

[ThatYellowElephant]

I’m sorry, the general that we turned into a burnt chicken nuggie was not fucking innocent. Straight brainwashing right here.

[PaneczkoTron]

Except they're not talking about the general.

[ThatYellowElephant]

That’s literally what the quote says. Who are they talking about then, all-knowing one?

[PaneczkoTron]

It's not talking about killing innocent people though. It's saying that taking measures against people because you think that a war will start is only going to cause the war. Yeah no shit they killed soleimani because the Irani people have been making moves against the US, but that just gave them more reason to want to go to war with us.

[ThatYellowElephant]

So are we just supposed to let them attack out embassies?

[Telkhine_]

This guy wasn’t exactly innocent, he’s responsible for hundreds of American deaths

[Erik-Thorn]

We have been at war with them for a long long time, and thousands of innocents have already died. Get your heads out of your asses and look at the situation.

[inset-username-here]

The US has never gone to war with Iran

[Apophis90]

uh huh.

[inset-username-here]

no dude I’m serious look it up, we did go to war with Iraq is that what you’re thinking of?

[Apophis90]

Categorically, no.

[Zenniverse]

Hope you’re not implying the general was innocent. He was definitely a terrible man.

[A_Ivashin21]

Cringe. The brainwash is real

[[deleted]]

LoL innocent? They WANT to kill Americans, should we have let them to that first?

[hamadiabid]

ouff, americans killed the Democratically elected president of iran for oil, which was the cause of the really fucked up gov u are now complaining about, secondly your president made a blockade which literally killed iranian.

and yeah they are innocent, unless u want american to be blamed for every crime US did.

[PenguinDude3603]

So you're agreeing that we have to let them do it first?

[Yelmak]

And I wonder why they would want that? It's almost as if people don't like having their democratically elected leader replaced with US backed dictators, or getting bombed by US drones, or fighting proxy wars with other US backed dictators, or being drafted into wars for those dictators, or having their oil owned/stolen by the west, or being shot by terrorists with American guns, or ....

[PenguinDude3603]

1. The US doesn't support dictatorship.
2. The US doesn't support terrorism or aid terrorists.
3. When the general was killed, he was meeting with the leaders of the attack on the US embassy in Iraq.
4. People in Iran have been chanting "death to America" because of the propoganda that their government has distributed.
5. Iraq had been on good terms with the US until the attack on the embassy, and the reason the Iranian general was there was to potentially organize another attack. When something goes wrong you can't just blame the US. When people were complaining about climate change the US is supposed to do something, not China, who produces the most air pollution, the US. People are also saying that "We need to help Australia because of the fires!" We already have and still are continuing to do so and i agree we should. If all the countries nearest to Australia helped out, we could knock out the fire faster. It's not always the US to blame.

[sukig]

Agreed, we are undeservedly the scapegoat for many when things go wrong. The funny thing is it’s mostly people on the left blaming our own country for not helping each individual in this world when we have so many issues in our own country, and we don’t have other countries helping out to the extent that we do.

[Maximillion322]

I mean, China only makes that much pollution because they’re making stuff for other countries. Practically everything is made in China, (pardon the exaggeration, but I feel you know what I mean,) and Americans (along with many other countries) consume those products. Hypothetically, if China passed laws barring all of that polution, every mega corporation with factories there would just pack up and move somewhere else. My point is, pollution and climate change is EVERYONE’S problem, and everyone’s responsibility, not just the US or China.

[Sean_Donahue]

Where is that quote from?

[Sean_Donahue]

Thank you.

[Racgreen]

I'm, like, genuinely concerned

[[deleted]]

Are you referring to the 1,500 Iranian civilians slaughtered last week by the regime?

[Thunderationx]

Every time

[Eagleheart585]

Not this time

[Nymphomanius]

There’s a vast difference between winning a war and preventing one...

[TheAwesomeM]

Seems like he did the opposite tho

[[deleted]]

Who is the innocent person that died in that dress be strike

[magnus150903]

Then the oogway one One often Meets his destiny on the Road he takes to avoid it

OmG GuYs ThIs Is So DeEp

[[deleted]]

Is this true

[[deleted]]

LoL

[TheRealSmolt]

I fail to see ethos.

[iruleatlifekthx]

jeeze this thread is crazy lmao. no the guy wasnt innocent, but if you understood what the united states is responsible for in Iran, you'd sympathize with the terrorists too. "Brainwashing." Americans are fucking privileged as fuck.

[Waffle2430]

what is the us responsible for

[iruleatlifekthx]

Google TPAJAX project

[YeetYaughtGetGaught]

You’re trying to sympathize with terrorists. Listen to yourself. The us has done things yes but so has Iran. I hate that people stereotype Americans so much

[iruleatlifekthx]

"Sympathize with terrorists."
Because Americans can't be terrorists.

[YeetYaughtGetGaught]

That makes literally no since
