There's a lot to be said here. About all the evil all these countries are currently doing.
I flat out do not think Iran should have nukes and violence is justified to stop them. I think it's simply wise.
Israel is the only one is a position to stop them. That that is a huge reason the US and the West cannot shake their support of them.
I think the same about Israel. Quite dangerous that they have nukes. So who's going to stop this rogue state?
They very likely have nukes there, but if there are they aren't under their own control. The US has to approve the launch, or flat out holds the controls.
Yea, just like Trump "approved" the Iran strikes. Keep dreaming.
Sure, like they are in control of every Israel actions.
Good thing Iran flat out gave up their weapons program years ago and has allowed inspectors in to monitor the civilian nuclear project to verify they arent actually making weapons and were negotiating even more concessions in order to have sanctions lifted before this
These are things I dont expect you to know, internet stranger, but the state of israel explicitly knows this. They knew this and they still killed the nuclear scientists.
It's not about Iran having nukes. It is unjustifiable violence.
So why do you "flat out" think Iran shouldn't have them but you're fine with Israel having them? Or hell, anyone for that matter? What makes Iran so incredibly worthy of sending other people's children to their deaths to stop them? Also will you be willing to go possibly die for this cause yourself?
And when he/she said "all the evil those countries are doing" we must assume that is not talking about Israel nor USA, the major terror states, just the evil arabs. It's so nasty and incongruent that don't even justifies to waste your time to reason with a war propagandist.
You "must assume", then call it nasty.
You're pretty nasty.
I'm absolutely referring to everyone, particularly the US and Israel. That's why I said it.
Thats not what you said, you are defending Israel and the violence they are doing all over. That's why you're just like them, you are ok blowing up everything but them you are acting like you don't.
If you oppose Israel genocide and the violence spiral they and USA are promoting, just do us all a favor and be coherent not justifying Israel's acts. And just in case you want to deviate attention, Iran must not have nuks, thats where we agree, but with these attacks they (Israel - USA) are just saying to Iran that diplomacy was just a joke and putting Iran closer to get nuks to dissuade this kind of military interventions.
