“Yesterday, the United States president described us as terrorists. We have been the victims of terrorism,” Pezeshkian said, according to the U.N.’s live translator. “I come from an Iran in which our esteemed supreme leader was assassinated without any legal framework or reason; I come from an Iran where in truth, they bombed a school.”

Americans react Americanly to images of the American consequences of their American actions.

Are we the bad guys?

Are we just after oil?

Are we insane?

[-] mrmisses@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago

Yes

Yes

Some. But most are just really really really really really really dumb.

[-] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

That's a fair hit

[-] baddaywithacamera@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

I never thought I'd root for Iran, ever, in my entire life. Hat tip to Trump for making that happen. Oi.

I can't legally agree with you, one of my parents is a naturalized citizen, I could be deported as an example at the drop of a hat.

Candian here. Another country whose oil Trump would like to take by force.

[-] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I think we want your lumber and potash more, but yeah the oil too.

[-] baddaywithacamera@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Don't forget the water.

[-] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Part of American propaganda is we don't talk about our incredibly dire water situation. If you don't live in a place that has a direct issue, like Flint, you don't know that the water supply is balanced on a knife edge, or that the infrastructure is crumbling and making the drinkable water we do have unsafe. Or about how many aquifers get fouled by the oil industry.

This place is a dumpster fire.

Trying to send positive vibes from up north. Hope we can all get back to a better place together.

Are we just after oil?

Sounds of Saudi pipeline blowing up

I guess not

[-] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml -3 points 6 days ago

It won't STAY blown up for long.

It's a necessary ingredient in our civilization.

[-] teagrrl@lemmy.ml 50 points 1 week ago

US saw all the other countries walk out and thought it would have the same effect when they do it. Pathetic.

Did the US delegation really “storm out”? Looked more like waddling.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago

The US delegation by definition blitzkriegs out of any room it's in.

[-] adhdsergio@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

I think they meant Stormy Daniels

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

She can really oil your pipeline, if you know what I mean.
