Anyone that believes the US is an idiot

It's frankly incredible how this has been going on for three weeks now, and traders are dumb enough to keep falling for it.

Most trading these days is probably just AI and algorithms. They see a positive headline and starts making buys or selling stuff if it's negative. It's all a money printing machine for the rich and a casino for the poor.

Iran: So anyways I started blasting

Iran didn’t start this

Iran didn’t start this fire. It was always burning since the US started stealing lands westward of the Appalachians and sabotaging their homeland to spare themselves some taxes.

Iran didn’t start this fire. It was always burning because that’s America’s manifest destiny: to democratise and dollarise every oil well in lands unable to govern themselves

Iran started the Hormuz crisis. They didn't have to close it. They're ones responsible for this.

"Anon, but the US attacked them"

And? Yes, they can defend themselves, but they choose to close the strait and disrupt the oil supply.

The world helped the US sanction and blockade Iran.

Now Iran is sanctioning and blockading the world.

Turnabout is fair play.

They retaliated in kind to having their leader assasinated. What do you think the United States would have done if the previous ayatollah assasinated Trump? Or Israel would have done if they assisinated Netanyahu.

Your argument is farcical, misleading, and illogical. It’s petulant, naive, and uninformed.

I could write a whole Monty Python song with rhyming adjectives describing how stupid your argument is.

Is Hamas responsible for everything Israel has done during the current war then?

Surely 2000 people is more valuable than a leader, that was already dying and got replaced in not even 1 week.

Are the illegal immigrants who did bad things responsible for what ICE is doing?

You're responsible for what you do in self defense, if it hurts innocent people.

When someone threatens to punch you in the face for over 30 years, and then one day they walk up and punch you in the face, and you punch them back….

By your logic, you are the aggressor, not the person who punched you in the face after threatening to do so for 30 years.

[-] garbage_world@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

No, when they punch you into face, and you respond with burning their whole neighborhood you're the aggressor.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 5 days ago

So Israel is the aggressor?

[-] garbage_world@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

In Israel vs. Hamas war? Yes

In Israel+the US vs. Iran+Proxies war? No

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 4 days ago

Israel literally started the Iran war lol
