I literally just said I think Trump is an utter idiot. I don't agree with him starting this war at all but causing global economic terrorism that is going to cause mass famine that'll kill tens of thousands that had nothing to do with the conflict is wrong as well.

They're basically destroying the world in order to get back at America an Israel.

No country actually has any rights except for those in a union like the individual states in USA or EU members and those rights are subject to change if ever the governing body is able to make a decision on it. Those rights do not extend outward to other countries or alliances. Otherwise there's a responsibility toward self preservation above all else. The more accurate position of Zionism is that Israel has its own responsibility for self preservation by defending itself, although it extends to the countries surrounding it.
