delivered higher gasoline prices and more pain for Americans.
Not just for you, you bloodthirsty, warmongering dipshits.
But on point: generally a great thing, not just when prices are too high to re-buy instead of repair.

MODERATORS
Not just for you, you bloodthirsty, warmongering dipshits.
Historically, yes, our population has supported war as a collective. (At least since the early 1990's.) However, what you're saying here is incorrect as of 2024, where Americans as a majority explicitly voted for an anti-war platform. And not only that, but Donald in his first term actually disentangled the US from war in Afghanistan and Syria, so his record demonstrated there was tangible reason to believe he would be more reticent to take the US to war than his predecessors.
Feel however you want, but let's acknowledge facts. The war happening now is happening against the will of the American people, not with the people's support, and in fact, the majority has largely turned against Israel and its lobbyists as well in the last year and AIPAC support is becoming a liability for 2026 political candidates.
And this is coming from someone who is 100% anti-war (except for true defense) and probably hates my formerly warmongering countrymen as much as you do.
Didn't accuse YOU. It's never the smart people who voted for bullshit. But they, too, have to suffer it. It was a "you, the USA", not "you, the people"
No worries. Thanks for clarifying.
Of course. And my condolences that you have to live there, open-minded and -eyed.
