> I'm not a fan of IRGC. My 20 year old cousin was captured and tortured in Evin prison for 6 months during the Mahsa uprising in 2022. You can't imagine how much I hate them, but I love Iran more. If I was there, I would be fighting the Americans right now.

Why? If you call the IRGC insane, why would you support them? Is the issue that the Americans are more insane? I don't think that's true... Is the issue that many not/less insane people are being killed by the Americans? But doesn't the IRGC have a track record of doing the same, but worse?

I'm baffled. If the Pope started a Crusade against China, would you support the die-hard Catholics?

The opening salvo being a double-tap of a little girl's elementary school might have something to do with it; in an instant we created and became a greater and more insane evil than the IRGC.
