"We didn't start it, Iran did!" - people who apparently live in an alternate reality where Trump hasn't been antagonizing Iran since he took office, including trying to blame them for a drone strike on a Saudi oilfield

The US has been poking this hornet's nest for years, and that's only amped up with Trump. Now that the hornets have stung us, suddenly we're claiming to be the victims and that our retaliation is just us valiantly protecting our own.

Anyone who can't see that has the observation and critical thinking skills of a parking lot stripe.

No one is saying Soleimani was a good guy or that he wasn't dangerous. But let's stop acting like he was just an evil terrorist who came out of nowhere and acted in a vacuum. Let's stop acting like the US doesn't have plenty of blood on its own hands. McConnell claiming that no one alive has killed more people than Soleimani is pure nonsense and propaganda when you consider how many innocent civilians have died as a result of wars *WE* started. How many people have died just recently because of Trump's impulsive, short-sighted decision to yank us out of Syria?

But once someone takes out an American, nothing else matters except that they've spilled American blood. There's no way it could be retaliation for something Americans did. We're the good guys, they're the bad guys, and all that matters is what THEY do to US, regardless of what WE may have done to create the situation in the first place.

It's sort of like how people screech about all these evil migrant caravans coming up from Central America. We treat them like invaders and enemies, all the while conveniently ignoring how much *WE* destabilized their countries and gave them a reason to flee in the first place.

We can't claim to be victims if the chain of events goes back to OUR actions.

Which is to say that no one is suggesting the US shouldn't protect our people or our interests.

Hey Republicans, do you think this guy gives a shit about your children and grandchildren? #IMPOTUS
