Lol this is a false equivalency. We have a longstanding history of supporting shitty people when they're fighting against shittier people. I'm not a huge fan of it but I understand that it is sometimes necessary.
We did not support Al Qaeda when they attacked America, Iran did that.
Iran supports terrorist organizations that attack Americans BECAUSE they attack Americans. They've literally been forcing their people to chant "Death to America" for decades, if you can't figure out that they are a problem for us you are not that sharp.
Yes you have a longstanding history of doing fucking awful shit for no other benefit than your own. Why do you think people are starting to hate you?
Wrong. America supported and even trained Jabat al-nusra troops an Al Qaeda affiliate in Syria after 9/11 believe it was in 2013.
We can take US foreign policy back to before the vietnam war and you'll quickly realise that America, especially here in the middle east, rarely, if ever, benefits anything but either themselves or israel to the absolute and utter peril of whatever poor soul is in the way.
I feel like whenever you have a conversation it's always black and white but let me be clear on this Irans goverment is shit and i'm hopeful for the future of the country after they have been destroyed but learning anything about history without a succession in place it's always people with guns who end up in power and then it becomes alot bloodier alot faster than it already is. US should by now know this but they don't give a shit because themselves are equally fucked up in the head.
