Dope1: It's helpful to remember that Iran has been at war with us and the west for 47 years. To wit...
Umm, you can go back more than 47 years with Russia! Russia! Russia! killing Americans.
Soviet air defenses shot down U.S. reconnaissance planes going back to the 1950s, killing dozens of airmen. In 1985, U.S. military intelligence officer Major Arthur D. Nicholson was killed by a Soviet soldier in East Germany.
Hell, Americans were executed in Russia in the 1930s.
And Russia battled U.S. forces in Syria in 2018 and killed Americans in Ukraine (Luke Lucyszyn and Bryan Young, were killed in 2022 during battles in Donetsk. In 2025, U.S. Marine Corps veteran Ethan Hertweck was killed).
How did you ever get so far up that child rapist's ass?
