Pretty sure our port authorities could beat the Iran navy
What are they going to do? Shoot down another civilian airliner? >

I think they're 1-1 on that count tbh. >

Sounds like someone's looking for a scapegoat to distract from their falling government to me >

Yup.  Looking for a cause to rally the masses behind. >

And I'm sorry, but... Just to be clear: who do you mean here, again? >

The Ayatollah and regime would like to distract the unhappy masses protesting about the innocent killings of citizens by reminding them how much they hate America. >

Okay just verifying that we have the cards right in the right stacks for this topic. Continue. Yes? >

There's nothing to continue. >

US response: "K." >

USA: "New President, who dis?" >

I want the next us president to be a 25 year old black guy >

Well, 35 because the Constitution, but that'd be neat. >

Hear me out:
9 year old president >

6 year old dog. So 42 in human years. >

Still not worse than the 45th one >

Or the 46th >

Its also 3 years since the Iranians blew up Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752, no apologies and no compensation has been given from the Iranian government  to the victims and because the Iranians are such a peace loving people, they decided sell drones to make the Ukrainians lives even more miserable. >

Iranian government, the people are clearly in opposition of their government /r/NewIran >

The slice of Iranians that use western internet if they even have access to it, is so small. The fact is, the majority of Iranians do support the Islamic regime of the Ayatollah >

I am not so sure.
An authoritarian regime will not give you accurate numbers. >

It’s pretty insane how often you’ll find this sentiment on Reddit about people living under dictatorships actually supporting them with a majority. It’s a “fact” a majority support the despotic regime that violently suppresses vocal opposition? What’s that based on? Polling? Of course not. It’s an assumption founded on nothing but speculation. >

Right, and they don't even have the tiny bit of introspection needed to look at the country they live in and what percentage they'd consider as supporting their government, most democracies are not even close to 100% supporting their government. >

I’d be surprised if most democracies even had >50% support for their governments in general. Maybe for a certain party or personality, but the entire government? Doubtful. So why do these dipshits think the people living under a despotic regime that censors dissenters with beatings and death come even close to 50% in support? Do they think people living in dictatorships are morons or cognitively lesser? >

Exactly. >

Didn’t they have trouble sinking a 1:20 scale wooden air craft carrier with their “navy” of pontoon boats and jet skis? >

People actually try to argue the US would lose aircraft carriers to Irans navy if fighting broke out.
