    But he lowered egg prices by 400%. I mean, no idea how that works, but he did it.

      Which peaceful country are you talking about?

      I’m totally against the bombing, but let’s not pretend or imply Iran is peaceful.

            As I said to the other guy, that is literally not what the word peaceful means. You can be tyrannical and still peaceful, especially since the context obviously implies they’re talking about Iranian foreign policy.

              Iran’s foreign policy isn’t peaceful either, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_diplomat_terror_plot_trial; just because they don’t operate in the open doesn’t mean it’s peaceful.

              I mean otherwise you could make similar claims about the US. Such a peaceful country! It wasn’t them overthrowing the legitimately elected governments, but local resistance groups! Who trained and armed them? How does this relate to the conversation?

                You should put something between the link and the semicolon, otherwise it breaks the link. That aside, while that is certainly not very peaceful, it strikes me as not relevant to the context of countries lobbing bombs at each other.

                  It isn’t relevant to the bombing really, and if you go back in the discussion you’ll see that I stated this (edit: or rather that I’m against bombing Iran). This was only in response to the implication that Iran is peaceful.

      Iran is peaceful?

      Damn, I need some of the kool aid you’re drinking.

      A peaceful country doesn’t kill women for not wearing a rapist apologist costume.

          You can’t have peace and be oppressing people, not really. If the oppressed stand up to the oppression, there will be fighting. So, it’s more like the early stages of a fight. The same as when you’re starting a campfire and you get a few embers, it’s not really a campfire yet, but it’s still a fire. In this case, the embers may last a long time, but the full fire is coming.

          Also, in the definition of peace is tranquility. Oppression and tranquility do not overlap.

          I think your take is probably just antiquated and contains a bit of sexism, homophobia, and racism. I don’t mean to say that you are those things, but the roots of that take come from that position. You may have just adopted a take that was already out there and didn’t challenge its premise at the time.

      Biden couldn’t even be bothered to push Israel to let a proper amount of aid in and pretend a temporary ceasefire in Gaza for his election chances. What makes you think he wouldn’t have salivated at his master Netanyahu ringing the bell for his dog to bomb Iran for him?

        I mean TBF they’re all geriatric war criminals. Except Obama, who was a spry and youthful war criminal.

      Yes, I did. Genocide Joe is not the best president since Carter.
