• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An old excuse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lets put it this way: When was the last time Iran launched a “preemptive” strike on Israel or the US?

  Well, for example: Hezbollah launched attacks on Israel on oct 8th 2023 right after Hamas did their infamous attack, as a show of support. Hezbollah is a proxy organisation for Iran getting their intel, training and weapons from them.

  A1: if Iran is sending members of their military to oversee weapon shipments to groups that attack Israel, or to coördinate with groups that attack Israel, don’t you see that that’s a little bit different from “we’re just peacefully sitting at home and they attack us out of nowhere” ?

  A2: if you’re going to conflate this with the attack on Iraq you’ll ha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An old excuse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We can flip that argument

  I’m happy you’re seeing the light :)

  the US+Israel bombs you anyway

  Well, no.

  Can you give any examples of either Israel or the US bombing Iran or something like you describe that wasn’t linked to their nuclear program?

  For clarity: impotent calls to attack Iran have always been there: from inside the US (remember McCain singing), from Israel (well, Iran is sponsoring the ‘freedom fighters’ in direct conflict with Israel for decades) and even from Saudi Arabia (which was also confirmed in Cablegate).

  But can you give any examples of the US or even Israel directly attacking them since like the 80’s?

  Claims from Bibi with a cartoon that Iran is working on nukes: no attack Strong indications that they are, indeed, working to acquire nukes: Stuxnet, assassinations, negotiations Clear proof that they are ramping up production of highly enriched uranium: negatiotions Refusal to stop their production: attack + pickachu

  Well they could, and I know this is a crazy idea but bear with me for just a moment, not try to make nuclear weapons

  “I need nuclear weapons to protect me from people attacking me because they want to prevent me from getting nuclear weapons” -> somewhere there’s a bit of circular logic in there

  ‘Their sovereignty’ in this case being a religious elite of around 5% that holds the rest of the people as their cattle.

  Sure from their pov they ‘need’ those nukes, but unless you’re on their side it’s a very good thing if they don’t get them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An old excuse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  IAEA made it quite clear that Iran was, in fact, producing highly enriched uranium. There’s no other use for than to make nukes

  Ironically, IAEA reports also supported that Iraq was not doing so back in 2003.

  I’m not really into betting.

  How much do you want to bet that Ubisoft massively overhired personnel when they were making money hand over fist, forgetting to take into account how much money they could actually make from their IP?

  These workers were fools to join or stay with Ubisoft

  Well I read about some camgirls who found out they made more money acting like a gamrgurl. But I’m sure there’s plenty more girls who start out with the same ambition as their male counterparts. I imagine it’s super tough for them to balance on that slippery slope when it becomes your job to get as many subscribers and donations as possible. And even if they don’t there’s going to be plenty of creeps, just like with ‘classic’ celebrities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Muslim states join European powers in backing Trump Gaza plan⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you really want to pretend that religion doesn’t play a part in this conflict, I don’t really see how that would help anyone… It just makes certain behaviour unexplainable for you and, hence, as long as you are in denial of this you won’t be in a position to think of a realistic path forward. Why would Trump have to buy off Malaysia to support his ultimatum and not, say, Brazil?

  Regarding Ukraine, I don’t think that religion is a(n important) driver there. But I suggest you look up what happened within the orthodox christian church in parallel. Or how the church played a role in the recent elections in Moldova and the conflict over Transnistria.

  And in the transition of finding your last sentences the most revealing: what religion do you believe those zero-year-olds were following?
