Didn't you know? Iranians are soulless islamist killing machines, not unlike Great White Sharks.

If you're going to compare soulless killing machines to
Persians I'm going to have to ask you to step outside.

It's because they are ISLAMISTS. North Korea already has nukes and yet they don't use them and they have a certified batshit crazy leader.

I dunno man, it's the disconnect that gets me.
"We stomp around the world fucking countries at will, but how dare you dislike us!"
Their apparently the only nation that is permitted to act in its interests.
I'm glad I live in a country that was formed out of a corporation, and generally minds its own business.

man we were laughing abuot 'game theory' before right
but my favourite phrase from the intellecutal crucible is 'realpolitik'
because on the internet it means 'fuck everyone up for no reason, or just because, but only for america, deal with it SMUGDOG'
i guess this iran shit is the same old
oh emm gee people we don't like might get nuclear weapons
the solutino isn't to have a normal relationship with them or remove the reasons they desire nuclear weapons
it's to futilely try to stop them while engaging is as much bombastic posturing as possible, so as to ensure that nce they DO get them they'll point them at us

A lot of Americans don't travel enough to realize that people disliking the American government and its policies is not the same as them disliking Americans.

But Aaron, don't you understand? They owe us for protecting them from communism/protecting them from terrorism/giving them all that money/because we're America and we want that thing they have.
I mean, ferchrisake, we invaded a country for bananas.

i think that's probably ebcause the media (in all countries) conflates the two
disagree with policy, law or atttitude in country = HATE OUR NATION
the difference between the mass of population in a country and the leadership, or decisionmakers or whatever is probably too comlpex for most people anyway

1910s and 1920s. We staged a lot of interventions for the United Fruit Company, now known as Chiquita. One of the Marines who was an officer later reminisced:
General Smedley F. Butler wrote:I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

realpolitik is supposed to be playing politics and diplomacy to win, rather than follow a moral, idealistic or pride-based process. you're supposed to be friends with people that benefit you, destroy people too weak to stop you, and come out of it with a stable, profitable situation where you are safe and everyone important loves you or can't do shit
americans translate this into WE FUCK YOU UP

America is a government "of the people, by the people, for the people or some conflation of that shit that always was drilled into my head when I was trying not to pay attention to the lies they taught me in school. So why bother separating the American governments actions when we're a fucking democracy and elect the cunts who do this shit? It's somewhat self sustaining at this point, but if we had the intestinal fortitude to do it we could end that shit, we're just too cowardly as a people to do it. So by all means, fucking hate the American people. We deserve it.

I dunno man, we elect the people responsible for all of the gerrymandering and don't raise a ruckus when they do it. I think you can partially blame random yank tourist #187417836218. I mean don't like, go full bogan and stab him, but at least call him a fucker. All the smart Americans pretend to be Canadian anyway.
