If what matters is the number of people killed, the next two should be Putin and Netanyahu. Yet I have a feeling that will not happen.

- TulliusCicero 8mo agoPretty much by definition, dictators do not allow themselves to be removed by the people through peaceful means, which is why it's easy to draw a line there. If someone's a dictator, it's morally okay to kill them. Always.
- bambax 8mo agoWhy isn't Trump bombarding the Kremlin? Isn't Putin a much larger threat to world peace than any leader of Iran? Also, it's never "morally okay" to kill anyone, ever; the fact that the US still has the death penalty shows how little they understand about morals and logic.

- bambax 8mo agoAaaah thanks, I didn't know that and my question wasn't rhetorical. It's cool we have all those new users on HN who are helping us understand the world.
- devld 8mo ago> Why isn't Trump bombarding the Kremlin? Isn't Putin a much larger threat to world peace than any leader of Iran? Russia is not a threat to the US per MAD doctrine. If Iran had nukes, you might believe that they could actually be mad enough to use them and because Russia has nukes, no one would try this with Putin. > Also, it's never "morally okay" to kill anyone, ever; the fact that the US still has the death penalty shows how little they understand about morals and logic. Never, ever? Even self-defence? Or what would you do if you were living in a hunter-gatherer society that did not have the capability to imprison someone for life and you had a murdering psycho in your tribe? Expel him so he can come back and kill more people? Logic?
- TulliusCicero 8mo agoBecause it's easier for him to bully Iran, it just so happens that Iran's government is worthy of bullying.
