But in the case of an actual dictator who murdered thousands of protestors it is reasonable, right, just, and civilized.

Shed no tears for the deaths of tyrants. They would happily see you and any other threat to their illegitimate power put six feet under.

I can feel OK about Khamenei dying and still worry about what it means that the US can just murder anyone in the world just because.

"Just because they're a brutal dictator who murdered thousands of people."

Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of other reasons to be skeptical of American military adventurism, but killing this one guy in particular really isn't one of them.

Yes our president has only needlessly murdered two innocent US citizens so far. As he has told us countless times, he would like to be a dictator.

Over a million people in the US died of COVID. It's impossible to know exactly how many of them would've lived if the pandemic started under a president with a saner response than recommending injecting disinfectant, but I'm willing to bet it's more than two.

Trump would very much like to be, no denying that, but he isn't there yet.

Regardless, dictators deserve to be put into the ground no matter where they are.

There's quite a difference between saying you would like to be a dictator and actually being one.

Yes, and if he actually becomes a dictator, I'd shed no tears for him being removed by force.
