    Finish with Iran first.

    I support overthrowing totalitarian regimes, but Trump made “no new wars” a big point of his campaign

        The US, despite popular (here, on lemmy) belief is not totalitarian or even authoritarian.

        The US is a democracy, flawed one and only bipartisan, but still a democracy

        So what? If you were only doctor in the town, would you stop curing people, because some of your patients died?

          If the doctor said “I’ll cure you” and proceeded to make an absolute fucking shamozzle of every attempt at helping people (Except maybe once??) then I would be pretty pissed at the doctor and prefer the doctor stay away in their own corner.

          In case that analogy is lost on some, I’ll refer you to the illustrious leader invader zim

          Zim: I put the fires out.

          Almighty Tallest Red: You made them worse!

          Zim: Worse… or better?

          //Answer - it was definitely worse.
