  • This forum is all the better because it doesn’t have genocide justifying fascist scum on it.

    You didn’t say anything that would make anyone think. You posted rants about how ignorant people who responded to you were while ignoring not just their valid points but all of their points.

    You are a failure morally. You’re also a failure at arguing. You wouldn’t convince anyone that didn’t already agree with you in the first place. If you’re posting with the hope of having any impact on the minds of others I would suggest you don’t even bother. You’re just wasting everyone’s time.







  • Their Oct 1 attacks were in response to the assassination of Nasrallah, in combination with a response to the assassination of a visiting diplomat in Tehran from a separate attack from Israel.

    Iran agreed not to respond to the assassination because the US promised that if Iran didn’t respond, the US would secure a peace deal for Gaza.

    The fact that they delivered and the US didn’t is well known to the Persian people, even if it isn’t here. And, the lack of response was considered internally there as encouraging Israeli aggression.

    The whole ‘nothing is more important than the US election’ is far less accurate than you think it is.


  • Iran has it’s own internal politics and factions it needs to appease.

    This is true of most countries too.

    The US invasion of Iraq had far more to do with internal politics than it did with any actions of Saddam.

    The current elected leader of Iran was actually the concillatory to the west candidate, elected when tensions were not quite as high.

    Now that tensions are high, he has to prove he’s not too weak to his own constituency, as the Persian people come together under what they consider to be an unjust attack.

    Again, this is true in general for most countries. Foreign policy is driven far more by domestic politics then most people consider.







  • 100 infantry on the frontline is a lot riskier than support personal on an aircraft carrier nearby.

    In a ballistic missle exchange, air defense is the front line.There is literally a term for it: SEAD

    Any THAAD system will be a target when Iran responds to whatever lunacy Bibi concocts. And, as THAAD systems have to be operated by American military personal, that will mean that American military personal will die by a legitimate military action by Iran.

    Seriously, I don’t know how this isn’t clear.

    You apparently don’t understand the meaning of the phase ‘bad faith’. Not that it would matter, as I’m literally responding to your points. You just don’t like them, so you ignore them.

    The country of Israel is younger than my still living father. To imply otherwise is to ignore all recent history, and the terrorism that was allowed to create the modern state of Israel. A nation, I might add, that has little to do with the indigenous populations. This bullshit of generations is either bad faith attempts at propaganda, or ignorance bordering on criminal. My father is older than this country.

    EDIT:

    This is the literal reason I called your statements propaganda. I’m quoting them here since you seemed to miss it the first time, and ignored the point.

    Time is linear. Ignoring the rogue state actions that the Iranian RESPONSE was a response to is such a bad faith action it has to be propaganda. You can make anyone look good, if you pick the right starting place to tell a story. Not recognizing that that is a classic propaganda strategy is a education problem for you
