Based on the belligerence and untrustworthiness of the global hegemon (the US) and its client state (Israel), getting nukes is the only rational move for smaller countries like Iran. That is the environment that we have cultivated.

Given how outrageously aggressive Israel is in this region, another unclear power would be an effective check and probably usher in a new era of peace in the region.

RIP to this genocide-supporting loser’s political career.

I really hope that Iran doesn’t fall for it again. There’s no reason to trust anything that the US agrees to. As a nation, we have zero allegiance to our word. We are an entirely malevolent, two faced actor. If they reach some kind of agreement at this summit, I hope that Iran is just doing it as a stalling mechanism so that they can make strategic moves like actually acquiring nukes.

Does anyone have a more punchable face than vance?

I’m not saying that he’s doing it all himself, but he’s the one deciding to do it. This latest ‘stone age’ threat is all him. You’d think that a machine as large and powerful as our military would require more than one guy’s whim to move into action. BYW, I’m not absolving everyone else of responsibility. Everyone who decides to follow the orders is culpable.

I live in a country where this one guy, all by himself, is allowed to just decide to murder thousands and thousands of people just because he wants to, over and over again. And, there’s no consequences, no check, no pushback, nothing that the other 300 million of us can do about it. Why do we tolerate this? Why is this just accepted as normal, even by the majority of people who disagree with him? I just cannot get over what a shit country the US is. Our government, our politics, our media, our culture, the people who live here are just endlessly awful. Will some nation, please just fucking do something about us?

CBS is no longer a credible news organization. You should immediately second guess, and probably entirely doubt, anything being attributed to them.

Well that’s pretty damn disappointing. I’ll never vote for Porter given her mealy mouthed support for the genocide of the Palestinian people. Fuck her and Warren, who I used to support.

Is this how Ukraine supporters generally think? That it’s good to starve out Cuba?

You got to be a special kind of asshole if you’re buying a Tesla these days.

Got it, thanks. Next time I’ll just refer to them more generally as baby killers.

Get ‘em.

Jumping on this thread too, to say fuck these pilots.

Good. Hope they got the pilot.

Edit: pilots

Further edit: fuck these pilots, they deserve endless scorn.

I just love that the US whines and whines and whines about “the largest state sponsor of terrorism”, while it itself just does all the terrorism all over the goddamn place, and no one in corporate media questions it.

Absolutely blame governments. But that doesn’t absolve soldiers from responsibility in a volunteer force. Absolutely blame soldiers for their own misdeeds.

This notion that our service people are somehow these fragile, perfect little angels that deserve nothing but effusive worship is nonsense, and part of how the government enforces its awful, self-serving corruption.

Fuck the soldiers, every single one of them. They signed up to do evil, they deserve to suffer the consequences. Can’t wait to ridicule them when a few of them get back.

Just jumping in here before the bags start shipping back to say fuck every single one of these service people. All of them chose to go. All of them chose to serve this lying, fascist government and do the bidding of their corporate patrons. All of them signed up to bomb children. All of them deserve the consequences. Have fun shitting in a bag the rest of your life assholes.

I appreciate this thread for reminding me why people generally fucking hate Democrats as a party. Y’all cannot stand your base. You have no principled policy stances other than blind devotion to Israel and capitalism, and would rather lose to the fascists than cater to popular opinions (aka being “democratic”). Your refusal to be an opposition party is why trump is where he is doing what he is doing.
