Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

“In the long run, it’s going to help us out, because if they get nuclear weapons, you know, we might not even be here in a couple of years. I think that [Trump’s] done a good job,” he said.
Where do Americans get the idea that Iran gives a single fuck about the US?
Go look at the history of the nation's. It's like Iran just forgets the US exists. Then the US comes along to bully them about something, and Iran's just, "Why us?"

They may not have before, but they sure will now
Decades of propaganda and being beat over the head with American exceptionalism and some main character syndrome mixed in.
A massive amount of the terrible shit America does, if not basically all of it, comes down to the belief a shocking amount of people have that the US is just the fucking protagonist of earth and absolutely anything and everything we do is righteous and just, everyone else hates us because we're too fucking awesome and cool (literally, one of the main reasons given as to why Iran supposedly would nuke us for no reason is because "they hate our way of life).
It's just an absurd amount of deeply broken people, with massive amounts of lead poisoning, just thrashing about as they realize they'll die soon.

Yeah, that's it.
There are so many nations that could use those good intentions. But "they're not near the Persian Gulf, so fuck 'em."
Says a lot about the true intentions of the hero in America's hero narrative.
These idiots will fall for it time and time again because they lack any form of critical thinking skills.

Some people just can’t learn that lesson
These MFs are some of the most selfish, lazy, myopic and sadistic people ever.
Even if it doesn’t benefit them directly, and could even cost them personally in the future, they are happy if others get hurt and they don’t have to lift a finger. They enjoy and relish suffering of others based on their made-up morality that excludes their own failings.
I mean
