    Can we please get some more LEGO copium to smoke, featuring the new 12-year-old special troops battalion?

    All of these people like”reddit will ignore this” as if people don’t understand the government of Iran is evil.

    The regime is horrendous and commits atrocities.

    America also wasn’t at imminent risk and shouldn’t have involved themselves.

    Seeing in the Iran-Iraq war Basij used kids as young as 6 to clear minefoelds I ain’t suprised.

    Neither side can claim the moral high ground and both are throwing out a bunch of propoganda to confuse the public; but does recruiting 12 year olds sound like Iran is in absolute control and decimating the US in the war as I swear every social media comment seems to imply.

    Seems like the IRGC took an extreme, reversed version of the US army raising the enlistment age.

    They printed a million of golden keys to heaven (those were plastic) last time they needed young martyrs. Probly still have a bunch in a warehouse somewhere.

    i can see from miles away they already prepared the “they are bombing kids” content ready for their bots to spam.

  8. I always wonder why the elites or powerful always encourage normal folks to have more kids.

  9. So very soon we’ll hear from UN condemnations of «murderous US killing 15 year old ”kids”» (with Kalashnikov and RPG)?

    The US is increasing their max recruitment age and Iran is lowering their minimum age. Yeah, it turns out no one actually wants to go to war.

    Between this and the US raising the age of recruits up to the 40s, and Zelensky saying a few months ago that after talking to Trump he believes WW3 has already started… it doesn’t paint a pretty picture for what’s coming next.

    Yesterday I saw that the US Army was going to allow 42 year olds that smoke pot and now this. Gonna be a super weird war.

  13. It’s life and death for the regime. For USA it is just flexing and sucking Yahu’s cock.

    Hmm, lowering the recruitment age to 12 makes me think that things might be a bit more precarious for the current regime than most of Reddit would lead me to believe.

    I would have thought that if you are down to recruiting 12 year olds, you’re not in a strong position militarily.

  16. And then the news will be filled with how many children Israel and US are deliberately harming …

    Lindsay Graham would have the US do that in a heartbeat if that’s what it took to keep his palms greasing by Israel and his dick greasing by twinks a secret

  18. > “patrols, checkpoints”

     looks more like they are using them to subjugate their own population, than for war effort. In every totalitarian regime this is more important, and 12 year old kids are easier to brainwash or bribe with food, than 20 year old who knows which regime stole all this food and caused all that is going on.

    Sort of. They’ve opened up “war industries” to children. Stuff like working in factories and hospitals and whatnot. It’s still not great, and it’s a great way to ensure the US and Israel bomb *more* children, but it’s not the same as enlisting them into the army as cannon fodder.

    I can already see the anti semitic left squealing about how the United States is targeting children now.
