    The USA cannot be allowed to fall, not to Trump or any other despot, because even in its current state: China and Russia are worse and will leap, claws out, at any opportunity created by the fall of the USA.

    Just like Iran, the best outcome is that it must simply change.

      The US and Israel MUST be allowed to bomb every school and hospital they want FOR THE GREATER GOOD

      Or perhaps the fascist imperial ambitions of the US and Israel are bad, actually

      Edit: to the people downvoting, the US and Israel have already bombed multiple hospitals and schools in Iran. They are using the exact same type of Dahiya doctrine, also known as the deliberate mass targeting and destruction of civilian architecture, as they did in Gaza.

        If the precision airstrike bombs that hit the elementary school turned out to be Iranian it wouldn’t surprise me at all. Trump is only in power now because of Russian and Chinese election interference in the USA.

          That didn’t happen.

          And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

          And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

          And if it is, that’s not my fault. <- you are here

          And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

          And if I did, you deserved it.

          If you fell for that bs here, I bet you fell for that same bs when they did the same in Gaza.

          Trump is only in power now because of Russian and Chinese election interference in the USA.

          Trump won because Biden/Harris ran such a profoundly bad campaign that they lost votes to the couch. So bad that they’re either staggeringly incompetent or deliberately fumbled.

            Big fan of this joke.

            All Russian history can be compressed into five words.

            “…and then, it got worse.”

            Yes but I was only counting their current system, though Putin certainly does appear like a continuation of the USSR except more christian and less friendly to women.

                The problem with that statement is it implies he would just stop the moment he obtained all those territories. People make the same claims about China’s expansions. It’s not true, they will wage war to the very end of the earth if not stopped.

                  I don’t see how it implies that, as that empire or any others never stopped and said, “yep, that’s good enough”.
