2 countries with the best war technologies on earth must work together to have a war with embargod-country-for-decades.
And those 2 counties are founder of Board of Peace.
- SirFatty 7mo agoyes, yes. Poor Iran.
- Schmerika 7mo agoYes. Poor Iran. Because America and Israel.
- dijit 7mo agoIran are the good guys? What topsy-turvy land have I wandered into? They've funded Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis for decades. They've assassinated dissidents on foreign soil. They sentence people to death for apostasy and flog women for not wearing hijab correctly. The sanctions aren't about race. They're about behaviour.
- bigyabai 7mo agoThere are no "good guys" in real-life. If you as an individual revile proxy conflict, assassination of dissidents abroad, torture and summary execution, then it's hard to stand on the American soapbox and demand change. Many Iranians still remember SAVAK, and are told stories of the last time they tried nationalizing their resources. The US doesn't need an interventionist policy with Iran any more than we need to invade North Korea. Israel needs it though, and their entire strategy is to risk American lives for their meaningless expansion campaign.
- tredre3 7mo ago> Iran are the good guys? Nobody said that. But they are a sovereign country that did not attack America. Bombing them because you find their internal politics distasteful is appalling, to say the least.
- danielxt 7mo ago> find their internal politics distasteful is appalling you call their official slogan "Death to America, Death to Israel" - distasteful internal politics?
- fortzi 7mo agoThat’s not why they’re being bombed. They’re being bombed because they strive for nukes and ICBMs with ever larger range, all the while calling “death to america”. P.S. downplaying their behavior to “distasteful”, is, well, distasteful.
- tovej 7mo agoIran getting nukes would stabilize the region.
- almosthere 7mo ago[flagged]
- NickC25 7mo ago>Iran are the good guys? No. But they are a sovereign nation who didn't directly bomb the US or its allies. >They've funded Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis for decades. They've assassinated dissidents on foreign soil. They sentence people to death for apostasy and flog women for not wearing hijab correctly. You want to know who the US has funded? You want to know who Israel has funded? I mean, shit, the US took out Iran's democratically elected government in the 1970s and was a huge fan of the Mullahs because they let us steal Iranian oil. The same secular Iranian government that was quite literally the first middle eastern country to recognize the existence of Israel, and was a leading secular state in a region of ass-backwards religious nutcases. Israel has refused to acknowledge the obvious existence of its nuclear weapons program while Iran is a full member of the IAEA and allows for full international inspection of its uranium facilities. Fuck, the Israelis engage in massive blackmailing operations of their own "allies" (see Epstien, Jeffrey) , attack their own "allies" (see USS Liberty attack), and have tried to goad its "allies" into carrying out attacks on their behalf. They are a tiny bully that starts shit they cannot handle themselves, and American lives are sacrificed because of it.
- fortzi 7mo agoIsrael is not threatening to annihilate any country, while Iran is vowing to. How can you even make this comparison?
- Schmerika 7mo ago> Israel is not threatening to annihilate any country Oh man, are you gonna get a shock when you look at the news from the past 3 years.
- NickC25 7mo agoThat's because Israel didn't threaten to destroy a country, they simply did so and called anyone who dared question their methods antisemitic.
- deleted 7mo ago[deleted]
- harimau777 7mo agoMy greater concern is the people of Iran. Especially since Iran has conscription so the people who end up dieing in a war didn't even consent to being made soldiers.
- JumpCrisscross 7mo ago> 2 countries with the best war technologies on earth must work together to have a war with embargod-country-for-decades It gives us a regional coalition partner. That's never a bad thing, regardless of circumstances.
- propagandist 7mo agoI'd say being an apartheid state and conducting a live-streamed genocide could possibly be a minor issue. Just a PR issue mind, Lord knows we've given up on our souls long ago.
- JumpCrisscross 7mo ago> conducting a live-streamed genocide For what it's worth, I think the American activists on this issue bungled the messaging to disastrous effect (in the same way we bungled criminal-justice reform). It's a saturated issue with low political salience outside a specific (and increasingly constrained) demographic. A win in Iran will be a short-term boost, in America and in Israel. Then we'll go back to being pissed about rising prices.
- propagandist 7mo agoSure, it's the activists' fault. Not the people who committed this genocide in our government.
- Cyph0n 7mo agoThe activism worked. Polling shows that support for Israel is dwindling especially among the younger population.
- flyinglizard 7mo agoWhen it comes to Israel, polling was always lower in younger populations, although yes - the trend worsened. Israel chose to trade popularity for having real geopolitical gains on the ground. Popularity could be won back later, but removing the Iranian ring of fire around it is a real and tangible achievement that would last decades and change the Middle East.
- croes 7mo agoTo obliterate a nuclear program that they claimed was totally obliterated last year
- NickC25 7mo agowhile repeating the claim that Iran is a week from having a bomb....the same claim the nutty yahoo has made for nearly 3 decades now.
- onlyrealcuzzo 7mo agoBored of Peace.
- IncreasePosts 7mo agoWell. Iran gets a lot of weapons from Russia which spends a whole lot of their GDP producing weaponry.
- NewsaHackO 7mo agoCome on, you haven't lived if you were a high school senior and didn't stuff a bunch of middle schoolers in lockers with your bros for fun.
- gpt5 7mo agoThe reason it is hard is not due to a power balance. Both of those countries could have sent nukes with minimal efforts. But their goal is targeted and precise attacks, that effectively destroy targets based on specific, and high quality intelligence. The other part is that defense against missiles is significantly harder and more expensive than sending missiles. Iran, while relatively poor, has dedicated a significant part of its economy for missile development and production.
- tootie 7mo ago> their goal is targeted and precise attacks Day one and they've already bombed a school and killed dozens of children. The goals, strategy and tactics have not been clearly communicated. You can pray they are using high quality intelligence, but history tells us they are not at all concerned with collateral damage. They likely want to degrade Iran's military capabilities, but they also want them cowed and bleeding.
- gpt5 7mo agoYou are relying on unreliable news sources, the strikes are incredibly precise. See the aerial photo of Khamenei's residence that was bombed [1]. You can see how the surrounding area remains surprisingly clean in face of the utter destruction in the middle. https://www.reddit.com/r/war/comments/1rh2f41/the_residence_of_irans_supreme_leader_ali/ https://www.reddit.com/r/war/comments/1rh2f41/the_residence_...
- LarsKrimi 7mo agoSo in your mind a picture post from a 6 day old Reddit account is a reliable news source?
- gpt5 7mo agoOne nice thing about Reddit, is that if someone posts fake news, people refute it (which is not the case in this post). So there is active fact checking in place. That photo is taken directly from AP news reporting, taken by Airbus.
