    Don’t know why you are trying to steer the conversation away with what-about-isms when the topic I am talking about is concerning the peanut brain Iranian military getting their entire fleet of millions of dollars shot down without any consideration of air defense making it the equivalent of setting a pile of money on fire instead of improving their country.

    A single US state is North America can out produce the entire country of Iran and has better quality of life and personal freedom.

      Was it their entire capability, or was it just a proportional response meant to show their willingness to act? I’d love it if you had some facts on that because you seem really sure Iran couldn’t have done more.

      I rebutted your idea that Iran should have been diplomatic when in fact Israel is clearly the (illegally) undiplomatic aggressor in this case. I also acknowledged the merits of your argument about spending money but also the hypocrisy of it. Telling you to take your own advice before you feel justified acting haughty isn’t whataboutism because I never used my examples to try and negate your argument.

      I mean, that’s the thing, US/UK paid for all the rockets that were used to destroy the drones. And drones are cheap, unlike those rockets that cost close to 100k per rocket. So American taxpayers are the ones that got a raw deal out of Israel violating and then pissing and shitting on the international law protecting embassies that even US, China, and Russia doesn’t break.

        Americans got the short end of the stick long before Iran was ever involved. Lets not pretend this changed anything.

      These drones are dirt cheap. But I am sure, american chucklefuck McGee has just outstrategized the entire iranian military.
