    The world is starting to believe the Iranians. Americans putting their boot on the throat of smaller foreign nations. So Brave. So Original.

      Americans

      you mean The US government. Americans don’t like it as much as you and saying anything else is akin to saying racist shit.

          And the US government is made up of who?

          criminals and traitors

          Elected by who?

          less than 37% of the American population

          For the presumed benefit of who?

          Israel? Russia? China? It’s not Americans, that’s for sure. have you seen what’s happening in the US?

        As an American (assume you are as well, but you might not be), I know from context that this generally means the country, not every single individual.

        And as a country, we really have put out boot down on a lot of countries’ necks.

        So it’s really really not racist to point this out.

        It’s like saying “Israel is genociding the Palestinians”. There are some Israelis who disagree with Israel’s actions. Same with anything Iranian leadership says. It’s the same for pretty much any country in the world.
