L take dude. I'm cheering the trump elon beef too but I hate both those freaks.

I personally dislike it because civilians will die over it but maybe less than if they didn't fight back and show isreal consequences? Idk I'm just an idiot. But fuck the leaders tho.

One genocides a subjugated population, the other exterminates queer folks

Just let them have their squabble, walk away, do not touch, discourage others from approaching, bad time for all

America needs to back off and not get involved

America needs to back off and not get involved

Luckily our commander in chief is already busy fighting wars against Canada, Greenland, Panama, and the United States.

No one is cheering for "Iran". They are cheering for a country standing up for itself against an aggressive colonizing force bent on expansionism through violent actions currently engaged in unwarranted genocide.

ofcourse i do. our cops are racists thugs and i detest them. but in a fight between them and some serial pedophile child murderer, no doubt i will be cheering for the cops and handing them redbull until the pedophile is dead.

and israel is exactly that, they find joy in murdering an innocent family for fun and then block/bomb medical aid so that injured kids die a painful death. if they survive somehow then they do their best to starve them to death.

literally executes

Is there a non-literal way to do that?

Is it possible to cheer an action but not the actor?

Like, if someone swims out to save a drowning kid but it turns out they were only there to dump a dead body, can I still be glad they saved the kid?

Iran is killing civilians in Ukraine. Iran can burn.

I think a lot of people are glad that Israel is actually attacking somebody who can fight back now instead of more innocent defenseless children in their open air death camp.

I'm not cheering for either of them and wish they both get what they deserve.

Iran does bad things, yet you cheer their actions. Curious. - Charlie Kirk

Listen, years ago I rode with Juárez against Emperor Maximilian. I lost many chickens but I thought it was worth it to be free. When Porfirio became President, I supported him – but he stole my chickens. Then came Huerta and he stole my chickens. Then it was Carranza’s term, and he stole my chickens too. Now comes Pancho Villa to liberate me and the first thing he does is steal my chickens.(…) What makes one different from the others? My chickens don’t know. All over the world revolutions come and go. Presidents rise and fall. They all stole your chickens. The only thing to change is the name of the man who takes them.

―Old Man in Pueblo, Young Indiana Jones

Or for a more modern version

The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace: They never are.

I was just banned from world news by @geneva_convenience for daring to voice this outrageous opinion. This conflict is Gilead vs Nazis. Neither side is the 'good guy'. Whoever wins, freedom and equality loses.
