    So, we’re not seeing the casualties on the other side, like on our side, but you gotta remember IDF, you know, they got casualties. Plus, this is like a bigger thing, you know. This has to do with China and Russia’s supply chain, which the imperialist west is targeting. So, you know, you might be right about this, but then also things can change very rapidly.

    Since they seem to enjoy war so much, can’t we just let leaders from both countries just duke it out in a mud patch by themselves and leave the families and children out of this mess?

          Honestly not necessarily the worst idea. I don’t know about Iran, but I have family in Israel. The general consensus (backed by recent polls) is that Bibi is just keeping war going so he can stay in power. The average Israeli is not as genocidal as their leaders. They just have to choose between mandatory military service where they will likely just patrol a border and not let aid through but probably not die or directly kill anybody, or commit a major crime by dodging military service and risk their lives. At 18 years old I don’t know if I’d have the courage to take that risk. But Iran is different, they can actually cause risk to “important” (read: wealthy/powerful) civilians. Could sour the public on Bibi enough to oust him. Maybe.

          I’m honestly worried mango Mussolini might try the same thing in 2028. Maybe he’ll get food poisoning from eating a Danish, call it an assassination attempt and declare war on Denmark. “We can’t have an election right now, we’re in the middle of the GREATEST war we ever fought against the MEANEST nation in the world. We’re gonna WIN. MGAA (make Greenland America again)!”
