    What pisses me off the most about all this is all the crimes against humanity. But after that, the thing that pisses me off the most is the sheer incompetence. You didn’t think they would hit back? Like you SERIOUSLY DID NOT CONSIDER THAT THEY ALSO HAVE BOMBS?

      Classic rookie mistake.

      The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.

    Trump said no one could have predicted Iranian attacks on other Middle Eastern countries. His advisers had warned him

    “They weren’t supposed to go after all these other countries in the Middle East,” he said Monday at a Kennedy Center board meeting. “Those missiles were set to go after them. So, they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait. Nobody expected that. We were shocked.”

    Every single person on the planet knew Iran would respond exactly the way they did, that’s why no past president did it. It wasn’t because they were cowardly, or stupid, or feckless, it was because it was a TERRIBLE idea.

    But terrible ideas are Trump’s superpower, so here we are.

      I’m just saying, the Iranian war song, ‘The World is preparing for another World War’ is absolute BARS and basically spells out that Iran isn’t pulling back from doxxing EVERYONE involved in this war.

    Most likely the real reason for the ceasefire. The US needs some time to review its (obviously failed) strategy. Meanwhile Iran was likely pressured into it by the Asian countries who want their oil to flow.

    The Government of Putin is hiding a lot of shit. For starters, a laundry fire that forced a carrier back to port for repairs. The fucking idiots believed in Ben’s story about a regime change and it turns out the main theater is southern Lebanon for an illegal land grab. The US military officers that were fired or demoted to desk jobs told the drunk and pedo their plan was complete shit. The destroyed forward radar installations, aircraft, etc… need the sticker with “I did that.”

    I absolutely love this for them. I’m glad they’re hitting the USA as hard as they are. Laughed out loud when I saw the E3 broken in half.

            Not as one contiguous nation. What years are you counting, exactly? The land? The people who live on the land? The language the people speak? The name the language has for the land or the people?

            The PRC has only been around for roughly a century.

    The Islamic terrorists are pedophiles (aka. child brides) and religious zealots (aka. Islamic extremism). The US are pedophiles (aka. release the Epstein files) and religious zealots (aka. “Christian” nationalists).

    There is no difference, at their root. We need renewable energy and an abandonment of as much plastics and other petrochemicals as much as possible, so the world doesn’t suffer at the hands of both of these hegemonic terrorists.

      None of this justify the USA and Israel attacking Iran and planning genocide . Canada was fine with decades of the USA imperialism and even benefited from it .

      Canadian industry sold roughly $2.47 billion in war materiel to the U.S. military during the Vietnam era. The same USA who raped underage girls in the war

        As a Canadian, I wholeheartedly agree, and think that we should distance ourselves as much as is possible from the US. We are paying the wages of our sins, namely our complacency in selling our souls for NAFTA.

        We’re in enemy territory seeing the likes/dislikes ratio, lol. “These people just living in their area of the world, like the Koreans and Somalis and etc etc, are just as bad as the world’s rapist and murderer, the US and Western powers in general”. It’s the Western way to feel better about their sins, that speak very negatively but truthfully about their flawed characters. It’s either that or “everyone had slaves!”, “everyone colonized!”, etc etc. Sad but not unexpected.

        More like a Canadian take . Many of Canadian believes we are a moral version of the USA while we benefited for American imperialism and wars , we are backing Israel too, we are allowing the selling of occupied land in synagogues and IDF soldiers speaking in our universities. We even still breaching deals with First Nations regularly

      Yup. And what zionest don’t know is this will be the death of Isreal as a state. The international community will have no choice but to dissolve the state for crimes against humanity. Their population will be relocated across Europe and America.

        No and no. Israel won’t be “dissolved” by the international community; either Palestinians or neighboring states will have to do it themselves in a likely brutal war. Relocating their population is also not going to fly unless you’ll volunteer for that anti-guerilla campaign (setting aside the ethnic cleansing aspect).

        Edit: Don’t mistake this for being pro-Israel because I am absolutely not pro-Israel, but let’s not push for things that’d prove the Zionists right and also produce a Jewish Hezbollah.

          I think it’s about time we stop considering israelians as jewish.

          They are zionists, not jewish. And they are saying this themselves: the moment you oppose the genocide in Gaza, you are antisemitic? No dude, nowhere in the Torah says that Israel is entitled to a genocide. If opposing a genocide makes me anti-semitic, then either you are not a real jew or all the jews opposing your genocide aren’t real jews and I’m inclined to say that those opposing your genocide (because they fucking suffered one) are the true real jews.

          So yeah, I’m fine with jews coming here, because that excludes israelians.

            Old testament is almost entirely the victors account of history describing the victors as divinely chosen for the divine right of genocidal conquest. The 10 commandments is a warmongering statement where admitted demonic liar Yahweh (exodus 6:3) declares to kill all (destroying rather than coveting their idols) who don’t believe there is no god before the demon (not even his father El, which Abraham thought to name his IsraELite children after). The tribes of the Levant had a shared pantheon which the Greeks and Romans considered simply different names for their same gods. Yahweh one of 70 minor gods given custody over the Israelite tribe, who may or (more) may not have been the only tribe self-entitled supremacist divine right to rule over all others, but as victors their story is the one that stuck. Christianity and Islam would both eventually erase their reformist prophets where trinity (Jesus humanist reformist morality, and your conscience, don’t matter at all) means the Emperor/Orthodxy’s supreme right to kill all heretics who might disagree with their divine right to all warmongering excused as god’s will is the only religion you ever need to worry your pretty little head about.

            2 key holes in the story are that it takes 5000 years for the supposed chosen people of Abraham (with infinite power miracle god ) to gain rulership over the Levant, and psalm 82, where the minor demon god Yahweh somehow has authority over the pantheon to sentence them all to death, as the birth of monotheism.
