As an Iranian watching this rescue mission unfold, I was praying the American pilot would make it out alive, not just for him, but so the Islamic Republic could not use him as a bargaining chip or claim some twisted “victory.”
At the same time, I felt a deep envy.
Your government sent elite special forces, million-dollar aircraft, and moved heaven and earth to bring one American home. No hesitation. No excuses.
In Iran, the regime uses human shields and recruited child soldiers to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war. They treat their own people like disposable tools. They are now recruiting child soldiers as we speak.
The Islamic Republic has zero regard for human life. That’s the brutal difference.
One side risks everything to save their own.
The other sacrifices their own to stay in power.
This hits hard when you have lived under both realities.
@libsoftiktok Why does anyone actually care about 1 thing this guys says, thinks or does? He has no redeeming qualities and he wasn’t chosen for anything.
@DaveWinfieldHOF War isn’t the problem. This is the cost of a bunch a soft former leaders (not just US) letting that little bity country run unchecked for decades. And endless money printing and over taxation.
@BaseballCentraI They don’t teach scoreboard awareness at UT. Dude got a 3-1 cock shot and acts like he just drew a walk to win the WS off of Satchel Paige.
@ResisttheMS I will vote against every single sitting member of congress I have the ability to if this doesn’t get done. Regardless of any of their issue. Will write in someone if necessary. If this isn’t handled nothing else matters. There is not one good excuse other than you’re all bought
