This is totally different. Iran is working on weapons of mass destruction.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago

I hear Iran is ready to attack us in 45 minutes...

It wasn't before as verified by the US's own intelligence agencies, but it should definitely be working on them now after Israel's unprovoked act of aggression and the US clear intention to bomb it.

I thought this wasn't sarcastic for a split second.

Even the US Intel agencies think they were nowhere near to having them.

Given how long Iran has been working on it, it was probably all bark and no bite.

Now, it's a different story.

Iraq didnt have and wasnt trying to get nukes, according to UN inspectors, etc. Maybe you are young(or an american), but here in Europe almost all media and people acknowledged that.

Iran is trying to get nukes, they are highly enriching large quantities of uranium, whose only purpose is the creation of nuclear bombs.

How close they are to getting a nuclear bomb is debatable.

Isn't the USA on reasonably good terms with Iraq though, all things considered?

[-] Jews4Palestine@lemmy.today 26 points 3 weeks ago

Oh yeah Iraq loves the USA, I mean they only bombed and murdered their innocent family members for 20 years.

[-] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

"why do they hate us?"

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

That's far better than most countries they've recently been to war with.

[-] dudinax@programming.dev 4 points 3 weeks ago

Iraq is friendly with Iran.

[-] NIB@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

After the Iraq invasion, the US wanted to remove all people who were related to the Saddam regime from the government. These people were mostly sunni muslims.

That meant that the shia minority was given control of the Iraqi government. These people were friendly or connected to Iran(which is also shia).

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Backwards. Shia are the majority. Power was mostly in sunni hands specifically because Saddam wanted to stamp out Iranian influence.

[-] NIB@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

You are right, my bad.

Maybe if they finished killing off every Iraqi and moved Floridians and New Yorkers a la Israel, lol. Or if they brainwashed them to be in good terms with these global murderous rapists. But if not I assume they're all chanting "death to America", or at least they should.

?

That's just what they tell you, cause they couldn't possibly say "wars are profitable to the shareholders in the MIC and any politician that goes along with them, and it only costs (other) human lives!"

Assume every take/narrative spread consistently by big, "approved" news station/talking head regarding geopolitics is repeated for the sake of imperialism. The powers that be in the West don't wanna make you feel like a baddie whilst conducting endless wars and massacres around the world and innocents cry for God while they pray for your deaths... so the propaganda definitely helps!
