To think the US was right to bomb Iran? What am I missing?

[Lastu]

I am no fan of Trump. I’m very much left wing.

But am I missing something here? Why has everyone become such huge supporters of Iran? The world is a safer place as a result of removing their capability to develop nuclear weapons? Why is everyone carrying on like Iran is a victim and they were truly just trying to implement peaceful nuclear capabilities? Has everyone lost the plot?

We stopped paying 20 years ago.

I mean, I’d hoped that in Iraq but there we found ourselves… misled.
I guess we can only hope, because if they haven’t, and as you say - they do have enough for nuclear bombs, I dread the retaliation,
And that’s the problem isn’t it. No room for error. And I suspect, that’s why a large number of people are deeply unimpressed by this escalation, (I could be wrong though).

Trump is a very dangerous man. A fundamentalist, a Fascist and an egomaniac. He is driven to make a name for himself - and to make his fortune. He is a convicted felon, a liar and has no respect for the US constitution or International law. He is tied to Israel's apron strings - and their leader is as vile a human as is possible to imagine. Two men who have no moral compass and believe they have a god given right to bomb and threaten their way to claim other people land.
The leaders of the US and Israel have nuclear weapons and they scare me more than Iran. Two extremist lunatics in control of a nuclear button. Two lunatics who see no value in lives that are not Jewish or American Christian. (Third Reich stuff)

It is for me.

Not yet.

"On 23 March 2025, Israel's security cabinet authorised the establishment of an agency to deport residents of Palestine, as part of Israel’s ethnic cleansing of the occupied territories."

Addressing Trump's attack at a press conference today, Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said: 'Humanity has come too far as a species to allow a lawless bully to take us back to the law of the jungle.'

I must admit I rolled my eyes at this. Because the way Iran treats women and girls is so civilised - not.

And the alternative? Doing nothing and it being developed? How is that better than the slight chance Iran was warned about the bombs?

So you don’t think people should be able to take back their home after they have been driven out?

Would you rather seek refuge in the US, Israel, or Iran?

Weird it's not for me.

I know. Hasbara actually is the Hebrew translation of ‘explaning’ but seems to have been twisted to the meaning most anti Israel protagonists associate with it.

I read an article recently about how bad Israeli PR is as they’ve just about given up as they’re damned for whatever they do.

This ‘Hasbara’ has certainly not been effective anyway.

Maybe the idiots in the White House could accidentally add a MNer to their “Bomb the Shit out of the Iranians 💣🤪” WhatsApp group and we could get some details of exactly how this action will help cement world peace

Yes I think Bella Hadids grandparents should have been able to take the house back their Lodgers stole from them.

Getting dizzy by your circles now.
I explained what I’d do in prior replies. You didn’t like it, you said it’s all been done and this was necessary. We’ve moved past that part of the debate now.

But this post tells me you must be a man. Because if you were a woman, you’d know none of these are appealing options right now.

@Chalk111111 see to me it’s still pretty recent

But the lodgers were taking back what was stolen from them. Let’s go round in this circle ad infinitum.

Most of that was driven by Jewish immigration btw.

Funny; I’m definitely a woman (one of the ones who has never had a penis), and I’m looking forward to my next trip to the US. Felt safe there before, and feel safe going this time. Would love to move their permanently and escape the shit-show that the UK is becoming, but unfortunately not independently wealthy enough.

And who can forget this. Just horrific:

None of those - there are more choices in life of where to live.Just like there are more choices in life than to mercilessly slaughter civilians in Gaza and talk about building a beach resort on their graves. Your three options are as repugnant as each other right now

Wow
Settler mentality.

You do know you can't just take stuff the isn't yours. (Well you can if you are a settler but in the rest of the world you can't)

Yes, and you asked whether they could’ve been warned. If they had, how are we worse off?

Gaza City, not the entire Gaza Strip. And even that was by far not one of the most densely populated cities. In this Wikipedia list it's almost at the end, with 6 other Israeli cities being more densely populated.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_proper_by_population_density

The UN press release is saying that there are atrocities taking place in Gaza and that 52535 people have been killed,70% women and children. It also says over 110k have been injured. There are 2.1m living in Palestine - living in ruins, rubble. Food, water not being able to get thru. I live in Brighton - that’s almost the whole of my city living in desolation.

if the UN - an organization formed as a result of nations coming togther essentially to ensure the horrors of WWII would not happen again - is saying atrocities are happening in Gaza, am very concerned.

I am Irish and when IRA were conducting terrorism it would be unthinkable to have a school of thought that permitted the British to conduct the atrocities that Isreal are conducting to Palestine on the reasoning that N Ireland was harboring thr IRA.
