Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Hate people are cheering on warmongering destruction of the planet and massive militarization by Macron and Merz as if they aren't both neoliberal imperialism shills who enjoy oppressing refugees for fun.

I love it. We need to watch out for each other. We certainly can't rely on the US anymore, even though some politicians haven't accepted this new reality yet.

France has been lending out nukes for ages already.

Give one to Iran. They need it to stop the terrorists.

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Wait, are we pretending that the Iranian government are good people now?

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 1 points 3 minutes ago

No, but we aren’t pretending the US are good people either.

Bad people can get attacked by terrorists.

You mean the guys who when under attack just fired at civilian targets in nearby countries that didn't attack them? Yeah... no.

I can’t tell without looking at that link if you’re talking about Israel or the US.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 hours ago

Sounds like the primary targets were US bases and some allied infrastructure targets like oil production facilities. The article mentions one missile struck a residential area after being intercepted. So unlike Israel, they're not targeting schools and hospitals.

that is bog standard behavior though; the US did it this week.

give iran nuclear power generation and bombs and tell the US to get its bases the fuck back to its own country.

Oh I'm not saying the US are the good guys either. It's just bad guys against bad guys dragging us all in their pissing contests.

Forget it. I was hours out of date here.
