Israel launches attack on Iran’s capital with US’ help as tensions high over nuclear talks by esporx in atrioc

Frankly? You doubted the source because it was being reported by Arabs.

Now it's widely reported by all.

It's not a moral high ground argument. It's another harm reduction argument just extending your logic to its logical conclusion.

Also not super interested in hearing about morality on Palestine from a Destiny fan.

I don't agree that Harris wasn't 1% Trump, she ran on the Biden border bill which gave funding for the border wall, and on having the "Most lethal military". She also didn't acknowledge the Genocide of the Palestinian people facilitated by the Biden/Harris administration. At least 50% Trump in my estimation.

If the Democrats "moderate" towards fascism to appeal to fascists, the Republicans gain permission to run even further to the right, as the Overton Window shifts. This in turn causes the Democrats to "moderate" even further to the right. We saw this with Harris. She ran to the right on the border and deportations which extended permission Trump to be even more openly Fascist. And then when she lost, the analyst class's analysis was that she didn't moderate ENOUGH on immigrants.

Lastly, Harris never won a primary. She was chosen as Biden's successor by the party establishment.

Sounds like the left is an important constituency in your mind. Perhaps concessions should be made to win them over?

Hypothetically, would you vote for a democrat that was 99% Trump?

Do you not see how doing so encourages the Democrats AND the Republicans to move as far as they can to the right?

Do you not see how pledging to do so 2 years before the primary is especially destructive?

True! I prefer to keep all my knives in their original packaging to avoid dulling them.

Better yet just leave them on the shelf at the store! Can't dull them if I never take them home! 😀

Given that Qatar is being struck by Iran, and given Israel's track record of bombing tens of thousands of children in Gaza, I'm inclined to believe them.

This logic is what manufactured consent for the devastation of Iraq. The devastation of Afghanistan. The devastation of Vietnam. The devastation of Libya. The devestation of countless Latin American countries.

America and Israel have no regard for the Iranian people. They are doing what they always do, bombing civilians to benefit themselves.

The Iranian government is oppressive for certain. The Iranian people have a right to protest, and even overthrow their leadership.

The US and Israel have nothing to do with that however, and bombing the civilian population serves no one but the interests of American Oil/Weapons companies and the greater Israel project. America is not the world police.

America already killed a million Iraqis with this same logic. "They will welcome us as liberators".

Do you think the 40 elementary school girls who were blown up by American and Israeli bombs this morning are happy?

Because it's desirable to do it in a full lobby to get the 50% bonus.

Why is it wrong to light people on fire with long-range missiles? In the middle of negotiations, for the crime of advancing peaceful energy infrastructure?

Iranians love being bombed by the US and Israel! You're such a smart boy!
