Why would you think people in the west would be upset about this?

If anything, the west has armed the shit out of Israel so they can do exactly this. Iran is a major Russian ally/puppet and an Islamic theocracy having nukes would be a very bad thing indeed. That's not to say Israel hasn't lied about why they've done this, because the footage of burning buildings in the middle of cities speak for themselves. They don't look like no "nuclear research facilities" I've ever seen, so we're clearly back to just bombing entire buildings to kill one person (if they were even there).

Iran knew full well what the response would be when they armed Hamas for the October attacks. It would mean Gaza being wiped off the map. Sure, those attacks hurt Israel, but they hurt Palestinians a whole lot more. Iran was just hoping that the resulting genocide stopped the west funding them.

If people in the west want this to stop (and lets be honest, any voting choices are pointless because all our major parties support war in the middle east), then we need to stop using oil and gas, so this whole area can go back to being a chunk of irrelevant desert so that all major players can take their fucking fingers out of it.

The exact copy paste comment is weird

I remember the time before everyone and their mother lived chronically online and were constantly bombarded with (fake) news. Terrible stuff - wars, famine, whatnot - has always happened, now we just know about it instantly.

Not to ruin your moment, but both the Rwandan genocide and the Bosnian genocide happened several years before the star wars prequels

The Last Jedi and and Rise of Skywalker came out during Trump's first term, UK had triggered article 50, natural disasters, North Korea was ramping up nuclear testing, a new age of fake news was taking shape, trade war, rise of Hindu nationalism... you know what you're right, I do miss those times compared to now... But you know maybe this is the second act when things are most dire before... Well depends on the story arc 😅

As if this only started under Trump...

This is one of those cases where both sides really are the same.

good thing I stoped giving a shit if their kids die.

It's an old one. The US has been aligned wirh Israel for decades.

Fuck sexist and homophobic theocracy.

They'll be hitting hospitals next with the same pretext.

I don't know what trench I'll end up in if I get drafted. Greenland? Canada? Panama? Iran?

Right, so more genocide?

How does the attacked country being a "paper tiger" influence your judgement of whether it's shitty or not to attack it? Is it less shitty to attack a country because it's perceived as being weaker? Is it only shitty when the attacked country is able to defend itself? Why? That would make the Israeli genocide on Palestinians "less shitty" too, since you know, "Israel has been beating the shit out of them for years now."

It's an interesting moral compass you've got there.

They literally proved they had munitions that could defeat Israel's air defenses just a few months ago.
