US/Israel conduct airstrikes on Iran again

I am not hung up on how a repressive regime is removed, I just celebrate it.

It doesn't matter to me if it is the US or the people or the man in the moon who gets rid of the Iranian regime, it will be a good thing no matter when or how it happens.

The obsessional anti-Americanism of the Irish left is self-limiting nonsense. It ends up with people like Mick Wallace criticising ordinary citizens protesting in Iran in 2022, Sinn Fein attending the inauguration of tyrants and the poverty of Cuba being eulogised as if it is a good thing. So long as they can give out about the US, they don't care who they support.

If you could point to any government representative of either Venezuela or Iran being interviewed on RTE about the events in their countries please share.

Sigh…

Ireland does not have any Venezuelan embassy or consulates in the country.


If your entire argument is based on this fact, and somehow 'proves; that the entire western media is somehow one homogenous block that is controlled by "someone" then you really need to stop reading conspiracy theory nonsense online.

Do you know who else speaks about Western Media this way? Guys like Tucker Carlson. Well done on being like that dude.

You do realise Maduros regime has not been overthrown, right? You say everything is not black or white but then use extreme language like totalitarian inclined left wing politics. Is it that hard for posters to practice what they preach?

Sure Mark, the army that couldn’t make any gains in 8 years of war against Iran, despite being armed by both sides of the Cold War and using chemical weapons, was about to sweep the whole Arabian Gulf before it!
Is the Iranian army today, the “nothing army” as you call it, less powerful than the Iranian army of the 1980s?

You say “Why else did the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia assemble such a force”. Then recommend others to read a bit of history. 🤦‍♂️

I believe in the legitimacy of the UN. The same country that is about to attack Iran for killing civilians supplied the weapons and support to kill civilians in Gaza. Have a look at what the UN said about that.
You ask about Putin. Trump who is about to attack Iran has put Putin and Netenyahu, 2 wanted war criminals on his “Board of Peace”.

But his regime is still in power. Trump has not overthrown his regime. That is a fact.

Where have I said that “thousands of ordinary people being killed are a figment of the western media imagination”? That's right, I didn’t. I said that the numbers being quoted are being manipulated by those seeking war and it must be said by the regime. For example, immediately after Trump hinted at a red line of 20,000 casualties, CBS News reported 20,000 casualties.

The UN has found Israel to be committing genocide in Gaza but who that are seeking unilateral US intervention in Iran called for or would have supported unilateral Chinese bombing of Israel?

Would you support unilateral Chinese bombing of Israel to stop civilians being killed? If not in favour in Israel why in Iran?

So democratic countries are free to commit genocide if that’s what their people want.
Ok then.

What other interpretation is there?
You said the difference between intervention in Iran and Israel is that one is a democracy and the other isn’t. If a democratic country kills tens of thousands civilians are you in favour of unilateral intervention even if the people support the genocide?

Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar seems happy the EU has designated the IRGC as a terrorist organization. Maybe hope still exists they do likewise to the IDF for it's crimes against humanity and forced starvation against the Gazan people.

A few bone crushing sanctions on them also are well overdue for it's 70 year policy of apartheid and racial hatred.

Let those countries manage their own affairs, they are not there for your or Trump's benefit. If you do want to interfere somewhere then get rid of Netanyahu and stop the zionist ethnic cleansing and genocide. A bully is not a democracy. Cuba has been under US terrorism for far too long and the Western blah blah supports that terrorism with their silence.

Thanks for requoting me.

The problem is that in Ireland we have an extremist right wing minority that fawn over a corrupt lying pedophilic rapist narcissist insane Nero presiding over a dysfunctional fascist regime that is invading sovereign countries and threatening its allies. That isn't okay with me. Hope we're clear. The US and Israel put the sanctions and created distablility in the ME through terrorist acts that caused the uprising and deaths in Iran. For no other reason than for global hegemony. And that that doesn't make me 'leftist' or pro-Iran, those are the plain facts. Ask Libya, Iraq and all the rest…

So, let me see, you are fine with the Iranian regime denying basic human rights to 50% of its population with the second-most misogynistic laws in the world and killing tens of thousands of their own citizens when they protest every few years, yet you draw the line at the US refusing to trade with Cuba.

The hypocrisy of the left-wing agenda has never been so transparently clear and the bedfellows it ends up are the worst in the world.

Is the Iranian army today, the “nothing army” as you call it, less powerful than the Iranian army of the 1980s?

Yes, less powerful.

You say “Why else did the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia assemble such a force”. Then recommend others to read a bit of history.

Yes, history…

Fahd talked at length about how hard he and his family had worked to build a modern country from a backward desert collection of tribes. I wondered where he was going with the monologue when he finally stopped, took a breath, and then said, “Tell President Bush to send the forces. Send them all. Send them quickly. I accept his word that the forces will leave when this is over.”  The decision and its clarity surprised us.
