    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.

          Ok dickhead. The scenario we are discussing is that the US, that beacon of morality, attacks Iran like we are saying that we will. Then in response, the Iranians put the Gerald Ford to rest. I am saying that the US, and the Gerald Ford, and all of its little war criminal inhabitants, would fucking deserve it. I’m further saying that the world needs to see the US get this kind of bloody nose. Right now, the US considers itself to be impervious, and beyond the scope of actual repercussions for its own actions. Your statements echo that sentiment. Such a loss would go some way to change that assumption.

            No, we’re not. You’re trying to change the hypothetical to feed your hate masturbation of the US. Just as a reminder, this is the hypothetical we’re discussing:

            Theoretically… what would happen if Iran or someone else happens to magically sink this thing, fighter jets and all?

            All the other details are made up by you so you can justify indulging in the preconceived narratives you already subscribed to. Given the original hypothetical, if Iran were to attack and sink this carrier, that would be a direct attack on the US, therefore it would be a justifiable cause for war. This is true for all countries that have their flagship attacked and sunk. Your seething hatred of the US won’t change this reality just because you don’t like it.

            But it’s funny how turned out to be exactly as I said word for word. You have no morals, you’re hateful to the point where it’s irrational and you’re trying to convince yourself that it’s okay under the guise of morality. It’s irrational to the point where you can’t even help but make up details to alter a hypothetical. That level of dishonesty makes you a lost cause dude.

              The entire reason why there is a thread here, the entire reason the Gerald Ford is positioned where it is, the entire reason why any American is discussing Iran right now, is because we are building up to an unprovoked attack on them.

              You perfectly embody the deluded depravity of this shithole nation.
