    Hating the US isn’t a function of being online, just having and applying a well defined morality and being generally concerned with the wellbeing of people. I don’t necessarily dispute your take about the US committing crimes against humanity in response to such a loss. Such wanton violence is perfectly in character with the horrific evil that the US represents and that I am objecting to. Your casual acceptance of it is exactly why the US needs to be removed as the world hegemon.

      But that’s precisely the issue, your morality is neither well defined or consistent. If anything, I would argue that your worldview is irrational because everything is digested from an inherently hateful point of view. For example, in this hypothetical, if the US gets attacked, it would be rational for the country to fight back against whichever country attacked it. However, you would see it as war against humanity. The war against Japan, for example, was more than justified considering the genocides they were committing, but you would defend it if it means getting at the US. This type of worldview is simply irrational. I feel like you would be the type of person who blames the Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on the US.

        Oh, please enlighten us dolts. We are all waiting for you to explain how Iran has attacked the United States, justifying this oh so moral “defensive” war.

          You really are a dolt, we’re talking about a hypothetical situation where Iran does actually attack or sink the Ford carrier. That is a justifiable grounds for war for any country, not just the US.
