    I don’t think that’s true at all.

    I mean the US has kinda rapidly descended towards being evil. Iran has been evil consistently since the revolution in '79.

      The revolution that was a response to the USA staging a coup two decades earlier to install their oil-company-friendly dictator over their democratically elected leader that thought the oil profits should benefit the people instead of international oil companies?

      America ALWAYS been evil. It’s delusional to think it was “just recent!”

        It’s delusional to think that Iran is less evil than the US.

          The pile of corpses of either Israel or the US is many times higher than the pile of corpses of Iran.

          Israel is the closest to the NAZIs there is in behavior, including purposefully targeting children, whilst the US unwaveringly supports them and will themselves not really care enough about what they target with bombs to avoid killing children.

          Comparing the evilness of Iran to that of those two is like comparing the evilness of Somoza in Nicaragua with that of the NAZIs.

          Even if that were true, Iran is irrelevant here. We are attacking them on behalf of a hostile state to the U.S. called Israel.

          We should be bombing Israel, not Iran.

      I think the US government maybe has less “concentration of evil” but since its it got so many hands in so many pies the mass market scale of evil going on here is pretty brutal.

      Plus like Gaza makes the Saudi government look good by comparison. The Saudi government who regularly murders critics and has a bunch of insane laws to control people.
