I never made that argument.

I just tend to thing bullies should be crushed rather than appeased.

That's how the whole world is feeling about America now, yes. Nobody outside of America and Israel were ever remotely bothered by Iran. Especially not Japan, which had a good relationship with Iran going back a century. It's really just absurd how America decided to attack a partner of Japan and damage our economy so much for zero benefit whatsoever.

So, dialysis patients had their supplies on a regular basis, and then the Ayatollah Khamenei was assassinated (hard to get more crushed) during peace negotiations, and now dialysis patients are at risk.

Seems like being a bully achieved very little .. why tear up the original hard won agreement that allowed inspection and kept the uranium enrichment in check in the first place?

Your reasoning is, excuse my french, completely biased and stupid as fuck.

Every world leader holds millions of lives in their hands, whether by economic or military decisions. You don't just get to kill the ones you don't like.

It's the warmongering pieces of trash, who think that wasting unfathomable amounts of human life and labor blowing up their rivals for personal or geopolitical benefit is justified, who need to be placed under permanent arrest so the rest of us can get on with building useful things, living fulfilling lives, and loving each other as the vast majority of credulous, earnest people do.

Iran has been repeatedly attacked by Western imperialism over the last ~100 years (look it up), which directly created the extreme regimes currently in place, who have been ACTIVELY NEGOTIATING even while the US unilaterally initiates EVERY escalation in this conflict.

I don't think that any violent power structure is good, but you won't deceive anyone with a brain and a conscience thinking that the US is the good guys or that Iran deserved this, by pointing at the shortages that are a direct result of US imperial aggression

Trump is in the Epstein files thousands of times. Trump is current waging lawfare again a woman who proved in court he is a rapist. Trump is threatening every aspect of american civil life and global rules-based geopolitics because he is a bully.

Go on, get crushing.

So, how are you planning on dealing with Trump and friends? Appeasement clearly isn't working.

Cool it with the antisemitism. Netanyahu's actions were short-sighted but understandable, labeling him a "bully" is not fair.

So, what's your proposal for dealing with Trump then? The world waits with bated breath...
