    Killing thousands of protesters is pretty disgusting, doesnt matter if its 300, 3000 or 30,000.

    Yes, I agree, except I’d say 30,000 would definitely be worse than 300, ngl. But grossly inflating the number of protestors killed simply makes it easier for Trump to justify the indiscriminate bombing of Iran. It’s just too convenient. And since when did dropping bombs and wiping out critical infrastructure ever help the people living there? The Iranian regime deserves little sympathy, but the millions of people who live there do. They are suffering even more now, thanks to western “intervention”. The reason for posting this was simply to show it as a typical way in which consent for an unjust war is manufactured, similar to the WMDs of the Bush era.
