politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

In part justifiable due to the said behavior in africa but your trust in Iran is misguided at best.
They are routinely using terrorism and supporting Russia and authocraths.
I mean, not really? Neither Iran nor its most prominent proxies (Hamas excluded) use terrorism on a regular basis; Western media just loves calling all anti-Western violent dissent terrorism. As for supporting Russia, I mean, it's not Russia that sanctioned them to death. That one is a pure self-own by the West; Iran has made it clear multiple times that it doesn't like the status quo but it needs to trade with someone. If America and co. weren't so committed to having Iran as a vassal state those Shahed drones could've been going to Ukraine instead. Iran has many skeletons in its closet (Assad being the most obvious), but not these. Finally, which autocrats?
And the Saudis aren't? I seem to remember the Saudis doing a really big terrorism at least once.
The 9/11 stuff or the Washington Post/Khashoggi stuff?
Don't forget they are one of the primary backers of ISIS and ISIL.
So is the United States.
..when the listed options are bone-saw kingdom or the genocidal ethnostate
