  1. Are you implying that the US has no national interest in attacking Iran's Nuclear bomb capability? Cops and criminals operate in a system of national civil and criminal laws, which include physically enforceable penalties. International geopolitical relations don't exist in classroom, or a courtroom. They are a jungle. Thinking the ICC, or the UN, have any actual enforceable power, is a fallacy. International law, and diplomatic relations, are great things... up to a point. Once one of the parties has shown they routinely can't be trusted to operate within the principles of the agreed framework, international law is only good for lawyers and idealists to mentally masturbate themselves into believing in "higher standards". It's nice when two civilized nations can negotiate in good faith, and be trusted to uphold their word. Does Iran operate that way? Can they be trusted? No. So they don't get treated like they operate in good faith, or to a "higher standard". I don't like Trump, and Israel is far from lily white in their actions, but them attacking Iran's nuclear bomb plans was a good thing. Whataboutism invoking Israel doesn't move me at all. Iran got what was coming to them, the only complaint was that it should have happened 46 years ago.
  2. Arabs killed a lot of Arab people. The point the speaker is trying to make is that the criticism is much more strident when it's convenient to criticize Israel for perceived inhumanity, but conveniently quiet when it comes to criticizing any other country. Even when the numbers are orders of magnitude larger. What point do you think he was trying to make?
  3. But! But! Hamas! And Gaza!
  4. Oh, there are definitely posters crying in this thread... https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/israel-iran-nuclear-scientists-program-22453fec?st=b9zBBY&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2025/06/iran-china-russia-axis-crumbles/683369/
  5. Careful! I posted the exact same thing, word for word, and Blacklab warned me for a point. Evidently it's ok for guys like Fantana to creep out of the CR and shit all over threads. Were these women and children exposed because terrorists were hiding out amongst them? Hiding in Schools, hospitals, and civilian buildings? Or do you think these weren't just rare occurrences perpetrated by individual units/soldiers who were suffering ptsd from the effects of brutal city fighting. We do know that Israel has prosecuted soldiers for committing crimes on the battlefield... has Hamas? Neg posting because you disagree with the points of another poster? Points posted sans cursing or trolling? Seems mature and even handed. Perhaps you would feel more comfortable in the threads on CR?
  6. Was Israel regularly doing these alleged things before Oct 7th?
  7. Evidently the plan is for the Arabs to pay for it
  8. Yes, his Patreon members get them a week earlier. I'm sure he'll have an update after the bombings, though our mentioned oil independence won't have changed.
