I saw in a thread discussing Hillary's response to coronavirus that several users seem to be sharing a most obtuse talking point that "Hillary would have gone to war with Iran!" It's just nonsense, like she was suddenly going to go against Obama's administration, and I've only ever heard rhetoric like that from alt-right channels.

So I found it ever curious when not one, or two, or three, but FOUR userss express that concern? I smell something fishy.

    To echo similar sentiments from other threads, stop reducing everything to one individual, government doesn't work like that.

    The US drive for war with Iran is long documented (See General Wesley Clark in 2007), the security state has long wanted to "take out Iran". Obama went against that wish and sought a diplomatic solution, mostly due to his recognition that the middle east was yesterdays battlefront and China was the new challenger with his "pivot to Asia". The security state disagreed and used the republican party to voice its displeasure and roll back that policy.

    Hillary would've done the same, she's a notorious warhawk, and has no problem switching narratives from previous administrations to please the different factions of the security state and prop up the empire.

    That's actually pretty commonplace Chapo rhetoric as well and not baseless either, but I genuinely appreciate your vigilance comrade. There have been a few problems with reactionary people coming on here to say their reactionary shit, but everyone usually dogpiles them like bees on a wasp, just as it should be. Thank you everyone, for keeping this social environment inhospitable to chuds.
