Well your assumptions are that whatever the US does has to be good and whatever Iran does has to be evil. My assumptions are based on the fact that I don't have a bias for any country but looking at their past actions, I have deduced what I wrote.

The US has been at war for most of it's existence and recently has invaded Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, lybia and others without just cause. It has a pro war strategy all the way and they jump into war needlessly.

Iran meanwhile hasn't been in a real war in decades and Iran showed the willingness to want peace rather than war when they made the Iran deal. It's the same Irani admin and they could;be just made nukes instead of agreeing to anything but they didn't. They also shot down a base when no one was in it when they could've easily shot one down at max capacity. This tells me that they wanted to show some sign of strength to their people while avoiding actual war. Everyone thought Iran would respond in a way that would cause war, but it was a masterclass in avoiding conflict.

The US meanwhile killed a top general if a country randomly and without just cause, so it shows that they were looking for war. Also top US officials keep showing an unusual amount of interest in war with Iran. John Bolton was just one of said guys but many still remain in the US government.

Iran has done horrible things to some of it's people and has not been kind to it's minorities. It is not an overall good state, but when comparing records, the US is far more towards the side of wrong than Iran. Not in all cases but in war, needless innocent death and destruction, most certainly. Ultimately, no one is the good guy here but Iran was the one that showed restraint and avoided war, while the US instigated and showed aggression and a willingness for war. I'll be on the side of peace instead of war anyday. 

Still not sure if this is a troll job or not...

Anyone with familiarity with this guy's previous posts want to clue me in?

I am dead serious. If you notice my profile, I'm from Pakistan. I've seen first hand the destruction caused by the so called "war on terror" the US started in Afghanistan. My city and my country was affected heavily by it. My own military is at fault as well. For you to just assume anyone who doesn't look at the US like it's some force of good is trolling is really baffling to me. Have you not met anyone from the middle east or south America or Africa that has suffered at the hands of US imperialism and war mongering? If you live under the illusion that the US is trying to do good or maintain peace, let me break that illusion right through. 

The US killed the democratically elected leader of Iran in the 50s and installed the puppet ruler aka shah of iran. The Ayatollah wouldn't exist and Iran would've been fundamentally different had the US not done that. In their petty cold war, the US armed a group of people called the Mujahideen in Afghanistan to fight against the Soviets. Then the US left all that weaponry in Afghanistan and abandoned the Mujahideen. All they knew was war and they became mercenaries. That same group later morphed into Al Qaeda. Usama bin Ladin was an American asset in this operation. The US destabilization of Iraq and their support of Al Nusrah, an affiliate of Al Qaeda in Syria fighting against Assad and the Syrian political leadership 7n general for control of Syria led to the creation of Daesh. 

It all comes back to US actions in the middle east one way or another and if it doesn't, it comes back to British actions. Look at Afghanistan in the 70s or Pakistan in the 70s or Iran in the 50s. 

Also notice who has been fighting and fighting and fighting. The US is a warring nation and always has been. Iran isn't but is sanctioned to hell, called the enemy because Saudi Arabia doesn't like it and Saudi money buys allies in the west, had it's leader assassinated in the 50s. Tell me in what world is Iran the aggressor or instigator. And after all that, Iran is the one still showing restraint. Everyone knows a war in Iran would be disastrous but the war hawks in the US don't care because they can make a lot of profit out of it.  Europe doesn't want it, Iran doesn't want it, Asia doesn't want it. No one wants it except the military industrial complex of the US. 

I haven't even mentioned what the US has done in South America or Africa and what they did in Vietnam is well known,



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also
