Iranian attack hit water desalination plant in Kuwait

Cannot find a link yet but was on BBC as breaking news.

The fact that you think what's happening to protesters in Iran justifies the consequences of this war for everyone else is worrying. You keep turning up on these threads posting the same thing:

Iran can't have a nuclear weapon
What about women's rights
The Iranian government brutally cracks down on protesters

we know

What's happening now is making the situation worse. The new Ayatollah is more hardline, I doubt that will be good for women. We double crossed them in negotiations, more than once, so they will now see a nuclear weapon as the only way to stop this happening again. Russia and China will play a central role in organising a new security architecture for the ME. The SofH is effectively closed, the disruption to global trade will lead to global economic collapse, job losses, famine and god knows what else. Many people who are nowhere near the region are likely going to die. And we have the risk of a possible nuclear exchange.

Even Macron has acknowledged that military action is counterproductive; he pointed to the failures in Libya, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan to explain why he did not think Iran will turn out better.

How much death, destruction and chaos do you think is justified to try to bring about fucking regime change! Sometimes maximum force is not the solution. They were negotiating, we should have stuck with that.

I just said you can care about what’s happening to protestors and not want the war.

In that post and others. I think you’re mostly arguing with what’s in your head not my posts.

So again, I can post about executions because it’s heartbreaking to see 19 year olds etc tortured and executed daily and say it doesn’t mean you have to want a war.

I can't understand why you are being so cagey. If there are reliable accounts/sources that are getting information out and you are reading those accounts/sources, isn't it helpful to promote those accounts/sources?

I’m sure you can work out how social media can help you find what you’re after.

How do you find information for any international event? Do that.

I look at sources I know to be reliable. Looking via hashtags etc. doesn't provide that.

It's basically 'Do your own research'

With more words. Lots more words

But exactly the same message

No I’m not going to curate anyone’s Instagram account for them. You have thumbs have a look at what you want. It’s all there.

Do or don’t who cares, why rely on mners at all? It’s a separate platform.

Yes. It is really odd. I can only assume ES has no more knowledge than most of us and less than people like @AgingLikeGazpacho whose post was really informative.

You're quite happy to tell people where you have read or heard things on other threads. Just not this one.

I have said it’s best to listen directly to people speaking, not from me interpreting it, because of course it’s better from Iranians.

If you think no one is talking about it on IG and you can’t possibly find it without a random mners help then er ok.

Nope that’s in your head not in my posts.

First I asked what the options are - no replies on this.

And now I feel for people suffering. That’s it Ik better than you do my views.

Of course if it’s the radio or a paper, you can work out Instagram I’m sure.

Do you follow any international events on there? Just use the same strategy for finding what you want without a mner.

OK.

May I ask what you thought of Ageinglikegazpacho's post?

Sorry meant to quote your post @EasternStandard

I have to say that is certainly the impression I get from @EasternStandard whether she intends to or not her posts do read as using the suffering of the Iranian people to justify this war. I haven't seen any acknowledgement that this war is making things worse for Iranian people just the same we mustn't forget that people are being executed etc with no context as to how it is relevant to this war that is helping no one.

Well you don’t reflect what I think so no.

So 'no' what? I'm not sure what you are answering there tbh.

Your post doesn’t get close to how I feel so stick with your views not trying to summarise mine.

This thread is weird.

Of course DT is crAzY 🤪. Of course the IRCG are a cruel and repressive. Of course hitting civilian infrastructure is wrong for all sides.

I think we all agree on these points. I think this conversation gas run its course from my point of view.

Latest TS post (source Donald J Trump)

Interesting, I didn’t report that post.

Thanks to whoever did, I was thinking CITME board is… intense at times.

Of course you didn't!

Well of course you’ll post that.

But no I was surprised to see it gone, happy days re the person who reported and mnhq deleting it.

Don’t let it get to you though, enjoy your evening.

They didn't. I did.
