    Americans are toothless.

    Nah, they’re extremely violent against minorities, women, iraqis, palestinians, venezuelans, et al.

    They’re just toothless against pale rich bros. The lack of teeth makes the BJ better. (sorry, not sorry)

      I’m Iraqi, nothing grinds my gears more than brain dead Westerners using my country and my people as prop for ignorant talking points.

        Boy, I would think Westerners blowing up your country and killing your friends and families would be the issue. I guess we will continue to do that but refrain from talking about it. Are you happy now?

          You’re proving my point. You literally know nothing about the country’s people, history, problems, geopolitics, or culture. I’m fully confident that you never even stepped foot in that region of the world, let alone the country itself and I also highly doubt you’ve ever met an Iraqi, let alone spoken to them about what they think about their own country. All of your information comes from grossly oversimplified, ignorant, and misleading narratives from other Western activists who use us as props to push their agendas. You can’t speak on behalf of other people and then try to talk to them when they call you out for doing so. That level of arrogance is peak Western chauvinism.

            I had a good friend named Areef who surrendered during Iraqi Freedom. He trained police and military in the use of small arms. He was learning to be a commercial pilot in the US and was dating a white girl. He eventually left to go back to Iraq to marry as an obligation to his family.

            You are frankly full of shit which is why I commented to begin with. I totally get your sentiment, but you said it in such a stupid and trivial way I couldn’t help myself. I am sorry for what has happened to Iraq and your people.

            So please take your outrage somewhere else and do try not to make an idiot out of yourself in the future. If not just for you, but the people of Iraq. The last thing we need is someone like yourself pouring fuel on a fire.
