As an American 🇺🇸 I will not fight Iran for Isreal!!! We have a lot of problems to fix in our Dear America 🇺🇸

[@cambiacommunity2139]

@@omnidentalstudio even as an Israeli I would not fight Iran for Israel. The issue is that Iran is at war with the US and is closely allied with Russia who also declared war on the west. It's not for Israel or even the US. I think of this war as totalitarianism fighting against the free world. And this war is coming to us and hoping we'd refuse to fight. I hope we don't have to. I hope internal divisions will weaken their forming axis.
