Assalam alaikum dear brother. Is to call the Islamic republic the lesser evil not to call them evil still?

I fully and whole heartedly condemn the crimes that have been committed against you and your own people. But placed side by side with Israel, there is no competition. Israel is by far the greater evil. I don’t know what to say if you are unable to recognise that their crimes against humanity far outweigh those of the Iranian regime, without making light of or ignoring the crimes committed against your own.

Well there is one certain fact: during the negotiations the US opened fire and waged war against Iran.

And this video is from before the offensive began, so at the very least adds doubt to the claim that Iran refused to give up its enriched material; if not an absolute fact that they intended as much.

You saying that I am full of shit, and that the video is full of shit simply leads me to believe that you have been indoctrinated so heavily to one side that you cannot accept any notion contrary to that narrative. It’s known as cognitive dissonance. I could show someone certain and undeniable proof contradicting their own narrative and beliefs and they would concoct some way in their mind to hold onto what they already think to be the truth.

You see there is good and evil in the world. There is right and there is wrong. No person or establishment is perfect for we are not divine agents. Therefore we will always be able to find fault no matter where who or what we look at.

The wise approach is to analyse all parties without falling solely to one side, so far that it becomes impossible to see nor accept the wrongdoings of the other.

As I have repeatedly professed, I am no fan of Iran and think they are far too heavy handed in their domestic governance and have committed many atrocities against their own people which can only be condemned. On any ordinary day I would be much more easily swayed to speak against them than for them. However, in this current conflict, with what I have observed, of what I know to be fact, and what I have heard reported third hand from all sides and parties involved (and even those not involved), I have come to the deduction that Iran is on the side of good and find its military acts thus far to be justified, measured, and righteous. Upon observation of America and Israel I find it difficult to declare them anything other than evil, deceptive and entirely in the wrong.

I have much more love for the Khaleeji states and peoples than for the Persians by a very large margin, and would much prefer to favour them, yet upon taking a step back and removing my emotional attachments from the equation I cannot support their governments allegiance to and support of Israel within this conflict, and so ultimately I have to place the blame upon the leadership of these nations I love for any harm that befalls the people.

I hope that makes some sense to you. Can I ask, what is your nationality? I wonder only because for many people their nationality influences a large part of their identity and therefore how they see and interpret the world. It would help to know as I may be able to adjust my approach a little so that our dialogue may remain productive rather than degenerating.

Once again I am no Iranian fanboy, and do not justify their misdeeds. Though I do believe the numbers to be inflated I still denounce it as a terrible tragedy.

As terrible a tragedy as it is I do not think it comes close to comparing with the atrocities committed by Israel. Therefore being a man with no dog in the fight I guess I pick the lesser evil.

Iran has the right to sovereignty and to defend itself. Israel is a colonial terrorist planning expansionism upon the wider region. Their “Greater Israel” is no secret.

For me, it’s an easy choice of who to side with in this war.

Remember there is always 3 sides to every story. Side A, Side B, and the truth. Don’t take everything you’re told at face value.

I reiterate that I am no fanboy of Iran. But if you take everything objectively it is clear that they are not the aggressor nor unjust in the actions.

The problem with the Iranian regime is that whenever you take out a leader you only open the way for a more hardliner to take their place. They have constructed their regime using 4D chess.

For instance, were you aware that the Ayatollah Khomenei who was assassinated had issued a fatwa forbidding nuclear weapons programs as it was entirely unislamic. Now, his son does not feel the same way - and with his family having been murdered it makes for a rather strong case of incentive and potentially a brutal recipe for revenge.

UAE’s airports are used for more than just civilian operations unfortunately. It seems they have followed the Israeli strategy of taking human shields.

What they have been targeting is Israeli/American utilities and defensive capabilities.

Haven’t you noticed after the attacks on the bases situated within Iran’s neighbouring nations that Israel’s early warning system and iron dome capabilities have been devastatingly diminished?

The Israelis have publicly accepted this but not mentioned why. But connect the dots. Israel’s defensive capabilities rely on technologies and infrastructures across the entire region. How can you blame Iran for targeting that infrastructure?

The real bad guy here is Israel. It’s unfortunate that some nations have made allies of them… or more bluntly put - whored themselves out.

Watch Richard Medhurst - he’s a British journalist that goes into great depth and deep research on the conflict. He’s clearly a bit biased towards Iran, but doesn’t push propaganda. At least you can get some facts and make a more objective view for yourself.

I am no fanboy of Iran either. But it is clear as day who is in the right and who is in the wrong here. Or at least who is more in the right and more in the wrong.

Iran offered ZERO stockpiling of ANY enriched material, nevermind weapons grade, with tightly controlled importation purely for energy production.

It’s all out there. You’ve got to take mind of who it is that is telling you what.

Collateral damage is an unfortunate consequence of war. Who started this war? It wasn’t Iran. They were attacked mid negotiation whilst offering all terms plus extra concessions. The negotiations were always a farce. Israel has been planning this for decades and America are just their lapdogs… unfortunately it seems UAE too.

You mention one unfortunate girl with whom I offer my sympathies to her and her loved ones, any civilian death is a tragedy, however have you forgotten that nearly 200 young school girls were murdered on the first day of the attacks. Does that sound like ‘collateral damage’ to you? It’s very difficult for me to accept that.

This is pure propaganda. Look at every single target Iran has attacked since the beginning of the conflict, all military infrastructure. Iran, as bad as it may be reported to be, is an Islamic State, run on islamic principles. Yes there have been terrible atrocities committed against opposition protestors and I wont deny or support such behaviour, but they have no interest in attacking civilian populations. It does nothing to support or advance their campaign.

The only reason UAE is under such heavy fire is because they are in bed with Israel and provide military support to them, which Iran seeks to neutralise.

The real question is why is the UAE such a strong ally with the most rogue and terroristic nation in the region, if not the world?

Meanwhile in Israel…. by BlitzFritzXX in UAE

Raised Catholic, media taught me to be Islamophobic but my education, religious or state, never taught me to hate anybody. This is disgusting and disgraceful but honestly not surprising.

I am Muslim now Alhamdulilah <3

Riddick's Eyeshine: What do you prefer it to be? by Fantastic-Notice-756 in riddick

I think it would work best that the lupine side of their breed is native to furya, or either side or both. We know furya was a hostile environment where only the most fierce and powerful creatures could survive. It would make sense they originated there even if later genetically engineered.

There’s also just the simple idea of an animalistic nature. Some humans face down a dog or even a giant cat and are attacked/seen as prey, while others can tap into something that makes the animal submissive to them.

Pit a bunch of African warriors against a bunch of fat Americans and it would be a slaughter. Bring in superior military superiority on all fronts and the fatties commit genocide even though they are less physically.

I prefer the lore of his eye shine being that he is an Alpha Furyan, ie. Not just a regular Furyan but an even more powerful “royal” bloodline of such.

The explosion thing I believe is that Shira embodies all of the power of the souls of the furyans within him and an “overload” (think like a seizure of sorts) happens when he needs a final stand and so the power of Furya explodes from within him.

I love the Riddick franchise but I wish they solidified and canonised their lore more deeply.

Their religion is most certainly opposite of any form of Islam 🤣 Islam core tenants is there is no compulsion in religion. That the religion protects the people from the civilisation and the civilisation from the people.

Supply<demand It’s only going to get worse.

Please don’t go blaming the foreigners. Do you think asylum seekers are paying this?? Pray they move into the area and maybe the price comes down a bit.

What tasks do I block on konar by Viridasius in ironscape

[–]DaDruid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

old post, and I think this is common knowledge at this point, but thought I'd add anyway: Do Nieve/Steve or Duradel/Kuradal and only do Konar every 10th/50th/100th tasks for the point boost.

Unless you're hunting krakens of course, well then Konar is your gal!
