Mass grave prepared for the school girl massacre, 165 souls

Pakistan has been exporting terrorism for decades. So has S Arabia. Sheltering some of the worst terrorists. No one suggests bombing them ( rightly so as the collateral damage would be awful).

There are other ways to deal with terrorism. We didn't stop IRA terrorism by air raiding Belfast and bombing catholic schools.

I haven't noticed Iran exporting Terrorism to the USA?

Shall we bomb Russia?

We cannot control a country of 90m people, many of whom will now come to Europe & cross the channel on boats.....

Iran will descend into civil war & even more terrorism, more refugees, more suffering.

Trump has created another even worse Terrorist state.

Absolutely. The black and white thinking on these geopolitical threads is also shocking. Some people seem to think that this is an American super hero movie where one side is 'good' and the other 'bad'.

What evidence would that be?
It's shocking how many posters are so desperate to excuse the US and Israelis, the same countries that are responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians already and pretend that there is some compelling evidence that this absolute tradgedy was an Iranian missile.
It's also shocking how little coverage and general outrage there has been because these were 'only' Iranian girls. If they were Israeli girls or Ukrainian girls or British, imagine how different the Western media coverage and the general public feeling would be.

Quite. Some people seem to have an entirely binary view on the world.

I can both believe that the Iranian regime is evil and at the same time believe the US president doesn't have the right to kill, be it people who disagree with immigration policies with this ICE Force or foreign leaders with his Air Force.

Because he was a soldier. He didn't start or choose the war but soldiers go where they are sent.

Fuck's sake.

Finding US and Israel evil doesn’t automatically mean approving of the Iranian regime..

The American's military has stated they don't have a plan for the long term. Trump has no interest in positive regime change. Let's not forget it was Trump who withdraw American troops from Afghanistan leaving the country in the hands the Taliban.

Even if those countries export terrorism?

Probably 'misunderstood' but somehow virtuous for fighting the evils of western dominance. And infantilized since they don't know better - but clearly it would be better for them to have the upper hand in that region, surely the world would be a better place

👏 👏 👏

Give it a rest

So you pick n chose what you believe?

There is no evidence 10s of 1000s were killed, large numbers yes & one killed is one too many.

The West interfering in other countries has no success, none at all, these countries need to be left to their own devices as much as possible, in Iran's case, the Nuclear element had to be addressed but not this mass bombing, all Trump has done is fuck up the worlds economy, including ours and will lead to many more deaths

How are you finding the Iranian regime?

The Guardian and Snopes reports linked above suggests it was a US/Israel missile. I don't think they targeted the school deliberately but they do not seem to have done the necessary surveillance to avoid it. Trump and Rubio have both shrugged their shoulders at people dying in war - they certainly do not seem to care about the human collateral.

Agreed. Some people on here blow my mind with their ignorance. I do wonder how they get on day to day in life.

What a thing to say to a mother whose son has been critically injured while doing his job. So much for empathy.

I don’t see a lack of humanity on this thread.

I do see an unwillingness to apportion blame illegitimately, though.

um they are pretty evil to be fair, the governments I mean . The US is a joke at the moment , so corrupt and run by lunatics.. I’m not from the uk but I wouldn’t put the uk in the same league at all. I’d be afraid to visit the US at the moment , would rather go to China tbh

This is such a reductionist view of US / Israel - I bet UK and most of EU is also evil because of their colonial past? I guess you'd prefer Iran / China / Russia to be the world superpowers over Western countries because they are less evil?

But no you're right, US / Israel are pure evil because the world is such a simple place

Funny all the people saying “sadly it was an Iranian missile” etc etc when all the news sources are saying the evidence points to the contrary . I don’t know who actually did this but some people just seem determined that Israel can do no wrong. It’s pathetic

They were using machine guns and sniper fire on their own population, including kids.

It’s almost certain US/ Israel/ Saudi have supported the Iranian opposition. They have a long history of it. That opposition is genuine and widespread also.

And, yes, they’ll deserve a lot of the credit if this looks a success in hindsight and much responsibility if this goes badly.

Very few Iranians are Arabs, so am a bit confused by your comment, but sure:

In the past decade Tehran has been by far the biggest killer of Arabs too (Yemen and Syria mainly). Hundreds of thousands of them killed in proxy wars fueled by Iran.

This latest attack may well lead to chaos. But Tehran is a bloodthirsty aggressor that has been killing its own and other peoples by the hundreds of thousands for decades.

They are the serial abuser here. The question is whether and how they can be stopped without even worse consequences.
