Trump Launches War On Iran

The current bombing of Iran is an example of Israel enforcing international law

No, it’s just Israel being Israel.

They don’t have the power or right to “enforce international law”.

And now, Trump has brought us into the attack on Iran.

With who knows what outcome.

The only thing we can be pretty sure of:
We didn’t destroy their actual uranium supply
We pissed them off and made the US and all US citizens a target for their terrorist tendencies.

What damage we did/didn’t do to their nuclear facilities is still up for debate

Dude **** Trump I don’t believe in war over their programs

This is about Iran, singularly. There's no their there.

Iran, the murderous state sponsor of widespread and lethal terrorism.

Pursing nuclear devices for military use. The identical Iran that said its purpose as a Muslim state is the destruction of Israel. Which means your posts aren't anywhere near what this is about and what's going on.

If it's war your posts are on about it looks like you're going to have to wait and see.

Funny how many people routing against their home countries success and security. Tribalism must be very strong for a lot of people.

77 million at last count.
 
So this morning now that we are learning the strikes might have been wholly unsuccessful, of course Trump is talking about regime change. Cmon, maga - time for new talking points! Tell us how regime change is not war, how it was always on the table, and how eager you are to sign up for military service or push your kids into it to show your patriotism and love of country.

Correct me if I’m wrong - but isn’t it only a few of the Ayyotolahs that actually subscribe to the most radical Islamic theocracy beliefs and are fully onboard with this mentality?

I could have sworn there were more moderates amongst them that are more willing to work with “the west”, including Israel?

(As long as Iran isn’t directly f*cked with?)


I am not asking that to be snotty - I’m just trying to remember things about Iran and am still having my morning coffee

Attacking Iran in the first place was an act of war.

And rightly so. Iran's illegal nuclear program was an act of aggression against the entire world.

Denying aid to civilians in Gaza-another crime.

Fake news. Never happened.

Engaging in genocide. A war crime.

This neonazi hate speech that you posted is really appalling. Falsely accusing Jews of committing imaginary atrocities is a staple of antisemitism, but falsely accusing them of genocide is beyond the pale of human decency.

Smotrich advocating for starving Gazan civilians to death; another war crime.

If the Palestinians are hungry then they should release the hostages.

Shooting and killing civilians trying to get food at aid points; another crime.

That is incorrect. They shot and killed suspected terrorists who were approaching the position of troops who were guarding the aid distribution.

Do tell us how well Israel has observed and obeyed international law, the laws of occupation and international humanitarian law.

Israel is enforcing international law. Thus the bombing of Iran.

And, of course, the Nakba; Zionist terrorists forcibly displacing 700,000 Arabs, destroying over 50 of their villages so that Jews could replace them.

A justified war of self defense when the Arabs tried to destroy Israel.

Clinton remained distrustful and critical of Iran as she mounted another presidential run — saying in a 2015 speech that she would “distrust and verify” that Iran was living up to its obligations under the nuclear agreement. She continued to cite military action as an option, if necessary: “As president, I will take whatever actions are necessary to protect the United States and our allies. I will not hesitate to take military action if Iran attempts to obtain a nuclear weapon.”


did you agree with Hillary ?

I guess much like the Rights thoughts on guns, bombs kill people, but not the people that launch them, ergo, only at war with the Iranian nuclear program.
Could not be more ****ed up and retarded if they tired (and they are trying.)

They certainly do have the power. Go watch the news. They have been bombing Iran for the past week.

They also have the right to do it. Iran's illegal nuclear program is an act of aggression from which Israel has every right to defend themselves.
 
Clueless, again. Keep digging that hole. Nobody is trying to "destroy" Israel; what an idiotic claim.

What about Israel's nuclear programme? Or that of any nuclear power? All 'acts of aggression'? Iran has never threatened a nuclear strike against anyone.
 

Personal insult backed with fiction. Standard MO

Yes, we see them puffing their chests over a failed military strike that's going to get more Americans killed. Just like 20 years ago.

No. Israel's nuclear weapons are legal.

That is incorrect. The Arabs massively invaded Israel with the goal of destroying them. Israel was only defending themselves.

Yeah. The world realized that only a nuclear bomb can serve as a deterrent to aggression from nuclear powers. The only way to deflect the Big Stick is with your own Big Stick.

Just another problem we made for ourselves in the world’s quest for the richest, most powerful person to ever live.
