Hot take: I feel like we owe Iran a mulligan after that whole “we purposely blew up your general” thing.

One has to have a brain as smooth as a bowling ball to think that normalizing assassinations around the globe is a good idea.
I can’t agree that we can just blow people up whenever- Well, obviously we can- we shouldn’t. And if the network was already operational by the time he got exploded, seems kinda like shutting the barn door after the horse is already out, to say nothing of antagonizing Iran.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The warning comes as Iran waits on high alert to see how Joe Biden responds to the death of three US servicemen deemed by Washington to have been killed by a Tehran-backed militia based in Syria.
He said the White House knew well that “a political solution” was required to end the carnage in the besieged Gaza Strip and the current crisis in the Middle East.
With a US attack on Iranian positions inside Syria seen as the most likely option, Iran’s deputy interior minister, Seyyed Majid Mirahmadi, in a meeting with his Syrian counterparts discussed the crisis and insisted the so-called “axis of resistance” was on the verge of victory.
But Iran itself faces its own challenges: unrest has broken out across Kurdistan after the execution on Monday of four Kurds accused by the regime of co-operating with Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agencies.
Although support for Palestinians is widespread through Iranian society, the regime is worried that the state of the economy and general political disaffection could drive down turnout at parliamentary elections in March, undercutting its claim to legitimacy.
In an attempt to boost participation in the vote, the number of ballot boxes has doubled, and candidates are being given additional time on TV and radio to try to generate an atmosphere of excitement.

The world does not need you. It does not want you. The people of the world have not asked for pity, and you will certainly not receive any.

You are not doing anything. Your government which refuses to regulate its policing, provide housing, tackle poverty, resolve immigration and has denounced socialism as evil foreign ideology is going to make the decision for you, you will pay the price though.
All Americans have to look forward to is killing, looting and more killing as their own living standards drop each year.
Sounds like you’re very confident in your home team, which has brought home mostly Ls in the last 78 years.

You are saying they should bomb mainland USA in retaliation and not doing so would be cowardly? I hope you are hopped up on coke or amphetamines right now and that this is not your normal mode of operation where you are try to cheerlead for catastrophic wars using analogies involving “punching in the face” and “breaking toys”.
Reminds me of other fine euphemisms, such as ”mowing the grass.“
