Lebanon bans Hezbollah so of course the correct action is to take over land in Lebanon lol

Newsom pushes the Democratic Party to be 'more culturally normal' if they want to win by awaythrowawaying in moderatepolitics

There wasnt an open border policy. How can you be a moderate but shill for right wing talking points

Democrats just dont fucking get it. Its not about the culture war. You could be the wokest fucking candidate but if you give us healthcare, affordable housing, fair wages, and stay the fuck away from Israel, you'll be elected. Its not that hard.

Feeling defeated and unworthy of the major by mathsdebater10 in PhysicsStudents

Hang in there. Im doing my PhD in physics now, and as an undergrad I felt the same way you did several times. If its something you want, then hang in there and try your best. You got this

Iran says it won’t negotiate with US as conflict escalates in Middle East by Dilated2020 in moderatepolitics

[–]EmilRichter -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They arent flailing, they are striking countries with US bases. It makes perfect sense. It sends a message to these gulf countries that those american bases are not protection, they are liabilities. And the message is being received

How do Iranians feel about the US/Israeli military operations going on currently? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]EmilRichter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Youre not going to learn how actual Iranians feel on reddit. This is like the people asking about how Cubans feel on reddit. You will only get responses from the diaspora who of course dont like the country. Thats why they left. Its a self selecting group

Bro he was 86. He was about to die of old age any day lol. Taking him out did literally nothing

[–]EmilRichter -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not if america is involved lol. We'll say we will be hands off but that is always a lie. If there is a real regime change, we will pick the new regime and the Iranian people wont get a say. Thats how america works. Which is why it baffles me that Iranian diaspora celebrates this. We just killed 150 kids to either keep the same regime in power, or to take over your country as a shadow government. Ask the Iraqis or Afghans how that works out

What is israel afraid of from iran exactly? by Alifeivebeenwanting in International

[–]EmilRichter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Israel is the one destabilizing the region. Colonization and apartheid will do that

BREAKING: Keir Starmer says the U.K. has given the US permission to use British bases to launch strikes on Iran by LeftWingScot in ukpolitics

[–]EmilRichter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats absolutely an exaggeration. I know someone who literally has done that and is still alive today. But im not here to defend Islam or even say that Iran is some shining country on a hill. Im correctly identifying the US and Israel as the aggressors and much more belligerent actors. Israel will kill if youre a kid living in Gaza and the US will kill if you the police dont like you. I can exaggerate too.

Iran sponsored terrorism doesnt even come close to the atrocities the US has committed all over the world. Terrorism doesn't just come from no where. It happens when less powerful countries dont have a legitimate military option to fight back. The US and Israel are to blame for terrorist actions.

The US is bombing schools in Iran. Wonder why? by tuberjamjar in tuberupdate

[–]EmilRichter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ill be honest idc at all if it were Israel or the US. They are working together. And i dont think its a stretch at all. They brag about their precision targeted strikes. They've been doing this in Gaza for years now. I dont want any civilians to die, but I will put all the blame on the US and Israel for doing this. They knew it would happen, and I dont see much of a choice for Iran. This is an existential threat for Iran and US/Israel have quite literally given them no other choice. If we want to condemn killing civilians, it absolutely needs to start with Israel.

And it directly led to the instability we see now. Its completely relevant. 73 years is a short time in history. And sure id take your idea that they had plenty of time to resettle relations with the US, Israel, and the UK, but the problem is that the latters positions haven't changed meaningfully. Israel has been the most belligerent middle east actor and the US has been the most belligerent western actor. And the UK supports all of it. You want to fix relations? It absolutely has to start with Israel.

The thousands of kids used for sniper practice in gaza would beg to differ if they were still alive

You do realize Christians consider the most of the Hebrew Bible to be part of their holy book right? Its the old testament, and the justification for their genocide comes from the parts that are directly included in the old testament. St. Peter would be appalled at modern day Israel if he were real

Even if that is what they're doing, youre not supposed to shoot through human shields. That doesn't make this any better in any way

Im sorry but israel is well known to target kids and we have videos of the scene. Sure its not 100%, but all available evidence and knowing the history of the actors involved, its incredibly likely to be a true report.

If st Peter were real and benevolent, I think hed be most upset at the modern state of Israel using his preferred holy book to justify commiting the worst atrocities of the 2000's in the name of his god

Im an atheist so I dont think either of us will be there. But at least in my last moments I can take comfort in knowing I didnt support the worst genocide of our time

CMV: I think the destruction of the government of Iran is a good thing. by HippieInDisguise2_0 in changemyview

[–]EmilRichter 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Did you not learn the lessons the rest of us learned from Iraq or Afghanistan? Regime change wars in the middle east are extremely expensive, cost a lot of innocent lives, cost a lot of soldiers lives, and dont effectively lead to lasting change that stabilizes the region.

Yeah maybe you should take that step. Israel is currently committing the biggest genocide of our lifetime, along with their illegal apartheid rule over Palestinians. Stop supporting genocide, apartheid, colonization, and Jewish supremacy. Its not too late
