The US seriously needs to halt all export of weapons to Israel. They're enabling them to start a massive war and painting a target on themselves in the process.
I’m assuming the US wants to have some proxy wars in the Middle East though.
why? this is literally only bad for America, both economically and foreign policy wise.
It's neat how 'western media' is more than America. You know that, right?
Aren't they mostly freaking out because this could be the start of this getting much worse?
ikr? who woulda thought western support for indiscriminate bombing of civilians and land takeover could be start of something much worse? It should have totally gone similar to US invading Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. Without consequences.
but you think now's the start, huh?
Never said things aren't bad right now. Not sure how ya even got there? Things are absolutely disgusting and everyone supporting this can rot in fucking hell. I am saying people are freaking out at this because, as bad as things are now, they can always get fucking worse.
attacks iran
expect them not to retaliate
Of course they expect them to retaliate. That's the entire point. That's why they attacked in the first place. They need Iran to be the boogeyman counterpart in the "help! We're being threatened!" narrative that keeps the extremes in power in both Israel and Iran.
Israel acts on behalf of Western colonialism. It is just one step removed from the direct colonialism of the 19th and 20th centuries. The hypocrisy is not that hard to understand. It would be simpler to understand it as just another Crusader kingdom.
Israel will run the same course the Crusader Kingdoms ran before it. From religiously motivated to geopolitically necessary to the eventuality of becoming a liability and then collapsing. We are just witnessing Israel tip from geopolitically necessary to a liability, it is happening but not yet. Of course, there will still be the Christians zealots like Mike Pompeo who will support Israel even if it meant a nuclear apocalypse.
This world is not binary like your "smart" memes.
Binary good. Non binary bad. Easy.
I'm sick of you liberals who intentionally overcomplicate stuff to the point I no longer understand them and then you call me dumb and do whatever you want. MAGA!
Attention: huuuuuuge /S
For those who are still under the illusion there is equal coverage of both sides;
Isreal bombing Iran got one front page spot for one day. People "died" passively,
Irans counter attack got the front page for three days straight. And we now see words such as "Attack".
Leadership of my country has been calling for a ceasefire and reduction of violence since the beginning. Great to see that we're lumped in with the Americans regardless.
Everyone was very much screaming guy when Israel hit the Iranian embassy. It's not who's doing the bombing that's the difference, it's that Israel and Hamas bombing each other happens all the time, Iran and Israel bombing each other is a step level up in intensity, evidence of a growing war.
No not at all. Everyone was mostly focused on white people getting murdered by israels Genocide. It was a truly eventful day of israeli war crimes after which Joe Biden still fully supports israel and doesn't place restrictions on arms usage.
Biden already told Israel the US will not join Israel in a counter-striker and has asked Israel to take the interception of most of the attack as a victory and let it go.
That doesn't sound like much, but Bush or Trump would have already hit Iran by now and escalated everything.
Biden blocked UN condemnation of the israeli strike on the embassy and according to an israeli journalist America spent 1 Billion dollars to intercept the counter attack from Iran.
Biden provides israel with the jets and weapons to bomb Iran and defends israel against any retaliation.
I would imagine that Americans are chuffed that genocidal Israelis are safe while they can't get health care.
Well, all I could think today when hearing the head of the European Commission (a German, by the way) criticize Iran's attack "in the stronguest terms" and restate her unwavering support of Israel whilst not having said a pip when Israel attacked the Irani Embassy, is that she's doing Russia's work at convincing the Global South that Europe and its allies are two-faced racists that can't be trusted, which will have implications for, amongst other things, the support when it comes to Ukraine (which is globally seen as an European problem).
Way to put the security and even global influence of Europe on the noose for the sake of a supremacist ultra racist country run commiting a mass genocide along etnic lines.
Is someone bombing Israel right now? Im confused.
Israel bombed an Iranian consulate two weeks ago killing some top military officers. It did not receive much news coverage and America blocked condemnation of it at the UN.
Last night Iran launched a counter attack and bombed the israeli air bases that hosted the F35s F16s. Now and our entire collective political landscape loses its mind
