The US has bombed Fordow and other sites.

Another nonsensical post.

No country has ever "pressed a nuclear button".

By all accounts it’s pretty wild to be denying the US destroyed both Iraq and Afghanistan with its invasions.

We're going to need more kitten pictures @MistressoftheDarkSide

If you don’t think it’s all related you are the one being tiresome and more than a little naive. I’m sure the rest of the middle east who aren’t exactly happy with the atrocities in Gaza aren’t going to be calmly going about their business. Then you get the way Isreal clicks its fingers and Trump jumps even though they are committing atrocities the rest of the world is shouting against…..

Yes I do. I also understand what the thread title says.

We're talking about the countries people choose to talk about. You don't get to censor other posters.

I agree. But if you’re going to make that statement, then rationalising it is important for context. The USA didn’t just drop two nuclear bombs for shits and giggles. It was in defence of the many more lives which would have been lost had Japan not been stopped.

On the contrary, I just understand what the thread title says. Seems other people don't. There's plenty of threads in the middle east section for wider debates.

Well hopefully you understand that what pps said is absolutely relevant as it was the prelude to the US attack.

You’re getting tiresome. Can you even read? My posts don’t mention Gaza.

Were actually talking about a specific country on this thread. The clue is in the title. You don't get to censor other posters either.

This! One wonders what country is next on the Isreal master plan( propped up by the US led by the oh so sane Trump). The fact Trump only listens to Putin and Netanyahu and ignores war crimes is terrifying.

Yes, about three pages ago. Short memory?

And if you look at virtually any thread on MN you’ll see digression and expansion of the discussion. It’s all part of the debate. If you don’t understand and accept that then maybe MN isn’t the place for you. You don’t get to censor other people’s opinions.

Henry Kissinger got one after bombing Cambodia.

Why?

In Afghanistan the Taliban came back to power in 2021 and continued their Human rights abuses.

Iraq is now a Parliamentary Republic and a Federal Democracy instead of a dictatorship.

This sums up how I feel completely (but says it much better than I ever could)

So complain away, the rest of us will post whatever we like and whatever we think is relevant.

And it's the same old, same old.......

This debate is pointless, sadly, as all we are seeing, both globally and here on MN, is human nature at its very worst. Look at you all arguing - look at the rudeness; the insults.

Peace begins at home. Until all of the aggressive posters on this thread, and similar ordinary people around the world, begin to practice that, there is no hope.

Just casually dismissing a genocide.

You cant just go into a country because they have nuclear weapons. We have them, would it be ok for another country to do that to us, or the USA, or France, Pakistan, India, North Korea etc? No, and it would not be tolerated either

I was listening to the radio very early this morning and some "expert" said that this was a war crime, and that the US couldn't claim it was a defensive act because there was no action against the US by Iran. I didn't hear the rest of the discussion, because the thunderstorm stopped and I went back to sleep.

The ICC issuing a warrant for a serving US president would be a first though.

Who told you that? The Daily Mail? I
ran does not have nuclear weapons but Israel does. Israel has been saying that Iran is just about to have nuclear weapons for the last 30 years.

Almost at 90% enriched uranium threshold:

I'm not dismissing anything.

I'm just making the point that Gaza isn't a country. It's actually a strip of land controlled by terrorists bankrolled by Iran.

Palestine and genocide will be getting shoehorned into this thread, whether it’s relevant or not.

Same. I’m really not worried about WW3. World wars tend to be about acquiring land - which is why I am more worried about Russia. Iran will not trigger a WW - although terror attacks in the West may increase.
