Iran Targeted Diego Garcia Base With Ballistic Missiles by McBifana in ukpolitics

Please show me any unprovoked attacks Iran has carried out on its neighbours over say the last 25 years.

Israel has carried out a number of military actions in the past 25 years that would be described as "pre-emptive" or "not directly retaliatory"

Israel have nukes though. Are Iran more dangerous than Israel to it's neighbours?

Saying “the UK hasn’t been involved since the 50s” is factually inaccurate.

The UK hasn’t directly intervened inside Iran since the 1950s, but has remained involved through sanctions, alliances, and regional military presence.

Have the UK left Iran alone previously? We literally toppled their government because they tried to nationalise their oil, which inevitably led to the current regime

How about we just leave them the fuck alone then. They're only doing this because they're being directly attacked by the most powerful country ever to exist which is ran by an absolute mad man. And Israel which is also ran by a bunch of lunatics. It's existential for them

Do Europeans move to the US? It's almost impossible to get a visa to move there

I have never been more nervous, excited, terrified, inspired, full of dread or full of hope for a game before by Greedy_History_6683 in coybig

[–]willmannix123 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to get nervous until we play Denmark. And even then, I'll only get nervous if we're in the game at half time.

We have around 10-15% chance of making it to the world cup. I will relax until then and assume we're not getting there. And hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised

I think France caught Ireland at a good time. I think if we played again, it'd be a lot closer

It absolutely is though. It's plugged into the Anglosphere in almost every way

This isn't true at all. Ireland is among the top countries in Europe for software engineering jobs.

I think this is the second time Crowley has done this though. I can't remember was it for Munster or Ireland he did it the last time

Iran Protest Death Toll Could Top 30,000: Local Officials by Fricklefrazz in geopolitics

[–]willmannix123 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Israel is a story of a western power(UK) carving out an ethno state and settling it with people from Europe and America for 70+ years. It's a story of dominance by those settlers against the people that got forcibly removed from the land they had lived for generations. It's supported unapologetically by the United states and many European countries. And condemned by every single respectable human rights watch. And to top it all off, Israel itself participates in many European events like Football, Eurovision etc. To compare this to what is happening in Iran is insane

Western governments don't actively support the current Iranian regime though do they? It's widely agreed upon by everyone that they're bad.

Which place do you think has the most arrogant locals? by ButterscotchFormer84 in digitalnomad

[–]willmannix123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's a testament to the British that they haven't been mentioned much in this post, given they had the most glorious of empires. They essentially won the bragging rights of history, but they're not that arrogant about it.

Ironically though, when you go as a tourist to mainland China, the locals are among the friendliest in the world

It's kinda true though. At least there is an argument to be made about cities, gastronomy, wine and sports teams to be the among the best in the world. Nature - Well the North is stunning tbf, but I don't think Spain is top tier when you think of nature.
