Reports stating that Israel have launched an attack against Iran
3 replacement F-15s have already left Lakenheath, east
He linked the deaths of 30 people in Lebanon to genocide, I didn't.
No matter your view of Israel, the killing of 30 people in an anti-terrorist operation in Lebanon is not genocide, can we all agree on that?
Is this a strategy to give Israel an excuse to attack Saudi Arabia in the future?
Saudi Arabia could have some form of uranium enrichment within the kingdom under a proposed nuclear deal with the United States, congressional documents and an arms control group suggest, raising proliferation concerns as an atomic standoff between Iran and America continues.
U.S. Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden both tried to reach a nuclear deal with the kingdom to share American technology. Nonproliferation experts warn any spinning centrifuges within Saudi Arabia could open the door to a possible weapons program for the kingdom, something its assertive crown prince has suggested he could pursue if Tehran obtains an atomic bomb.
Q. Do you think Israel committed a genocide in Gaza?
(No answer expected)
I never said he was hiding
Well how about the regime has free and fair elections and then we will find out? Is that something you would support?
And we all know there was a deal in place to curtail Irans ambitions, which was working and working well, until some genius decided to withdraw from it.
The same genius who declared the Irans nuclear programme was "Obliterated" just last June
That's a very expensive mistake.
Maverick would be horrified. There was a guy who flew into Iran, took out a nuclear facility, crashed, stole an Iranian jet, shot down other more modern Iranian jets and landed safely on an aircraft carrier.
They said "never an idle moment for genocide lovers", at no point did they state the attack on Lebanon was genocide at all.
You are purposely and deliberately misrepresenting their statement for some strange reason.
Care to explain why?
Why is all the bad faith posting done by the pro IDF folks?
The attack by the US/Israel is an epic failure? Then what would you call the decapitation strike on Saturday from the Iranian pov? Iran is getting hammered, day and night.
They have a list of targets and objectives and they are going through the list one by one. There won't be much left if this goes on a month or more. Iran has no friends in the region, and Russia and China have no done anything to help.
How would friendly fire have managed to hit them with all of their defensive capability?
I have no idea what I said has confused you.
Here it is again.
The loss of 3 F15s in one day is absolute epic failure.
Shot down by an ally.
Of course he'll go, we need the tax money from their companies. Our leadership is just as hypocritical and fake in its values as any other
It seems to be an unfortuante mixup. No doubt there will be an investigation in how Kuwait targeted these in error. The pilots are fine, and the US have approx 370 of these aircraft in stock, so not exactly a big deal all things considered.
Who is posting in the wrong thread again?
Mod Edit: Warned for backseat moderation
A decapitation strike that takes out children as "collateral damage" is never a success
There is no other reason to mention genocide in relation to the attack on 30 terrorists in Lebanon.
If the Iranians had killed 500,000 of their own civilians instead of 33,000, would the loss of 30 schoolgirls as "collateral damage" be acceptable in a decapitation strike?
The US strikes may actually be saving lives by decapitating the regime.
Can you post links to the widespread revolt of the people in Iran?
The Iranian regime is committing genocide against its own people.
Are you saying you honestly believe that they were calling the attack in the Lebanon a genocide?
You have given no explanation to why you are deliberately misrepresenting what they have said. Why?
"Eye for and Eye and the world goes blind"
Sometimes actions are neccessary but that does not mean killing innocent people is ever a "success"
Any comment on on the civilian areas in the middle east that Iran hit and the people killed as a result?
Since they killed 33,000 of them, they are a little more reluctant to celebrate. Nevertheless, the limited information coming out of Iran (the government there as part of their brutal repression have killed the internet) is that people are celebrating the death of the Ayatollah.
In Ireland there were people celebrating outside of the Iranian embassy, even painting slogans.
Genocide has been used very sparingly. The Nazis and Israel have been accused of it.
When you remove a repressive regime, lives are often lost, that is the price. It is sad and regrettable, but it is also a success if that regime is gone.
By your standards, the War of Independence was a failure.
I'm listening to the Top Gun soundtrack. It seems fitting.
Iran should not be targetting civilian areas and in fact the whole world would be a lot better if the Iran regime, not just the figurehead, was overthrown. If your standard of acceptable behaviour is based on what the Iranian regime does it is not very high though is it.
And again, people seek to suggest any critism of US/ Israeli actions is automatically and endorement of the Iranian regime like as if it is completely impossible for two seperate things to be true
There have been far worse situations over the last 50 years than what happened in Gaza. Rwanda, the former Republic of Yugoslavia several times, Sudan, etc.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_genocide
Some reports put the number killed in Rwanda at 1 million, far far more than those killed in Gaza, but your rabid anti-Israeli sentiment doesn't account for that.
