I don’t understand, it IS literally bad for America. But from your/our perspective who cares? You’re gloating, and thats fine, your viewpoint is vindicicated, America just tripped on its own dick. The people will now be 300 billion poorer. So are we wrong to point out that by hoisting our own petard, as a country, we will be bearing a consequence? Or do you simply seek to frame literally anything Americans say, even the conciliatory, even the materially correct analysis, as imperialism?
If that was the only major complaint I wouldn’t have posted this, but again there’s plenty of grumbling about how Iran isn’t going to be sanctioned or how they can keep this or that thing. The only bad thing happening to America (other than paying a whole bunch of money, which is again its own thing) is a weaker strategic position in the Middle East. And that’s the thing: Wanting a deal that protects America’s (in practice meaning the American ruling class’s) interests in the Middle Eastern at the expense of the people actually living there is the very definition of imperialism.
I suppose the problem is I get badjacketed very often on Lemmy for takes like “not everyone in America (including the people in detention camps) deserves to die because some people made bad choices” and “war crimes are bad no matter who is doing them”, yet I am rarely interacting with libs or fascists, so if they’re out here bitching that America’s dick got stepped on too hard they are just not on my feed. I dunno why you would go to Lemmy and choose to interact with those people. Some of these posts seem designed to start fights with invisible people. Everyone should know about blocking users and defederating intolerable instances.
Honestly, it sounds like you’re talking to Americans who don’t realize we haven’t won a war since World War II. Since that isn’t that obscure a fact to anyone who studied any history, you’re wasting your time talking to them.
