    So stupid. If they were smart, Iran’s leadership would use this opportunity to gain international support and clout by behaving like the reasonable ones while Israel is going rogue.

        Lol? You’re ok with a nuclear Iran? You’re chill with having another geopolitical actor holding a gun to Europe? Maybe sit down and think things thru before you open your mouth.

          A nuclear Iran to counter an unhinged, nuclear, and genocidal Israel maybe isn’t the worst thing.

            If Iran isn’t paying you for spouting these beliefs, they really should.

            If somebody is talented at something, it may morally be wrong to do it for free. Just saying if you aren’t already in the propaganda business.

              Obviously the US and Europe isn’t up to countering the genocidal lunatics in charge of Israel. How else can we stop the genocide?

              Yes, nuclear proliferation is horrible, but MAD was the basis of much of the last century’s global framework for a reason. When you have a rogue nation like Israel threatening the whole region, I don’t know a better alternative. Do you?

                Why stop with Iran? Make sure we get the nukes into the hands of Hamas.

                That’s what you really want.

                  For all your bitching in your post history about people putting words in your mouth, you sure are quick to misrepresent my position.

                  So, in your opinion, how do you stop the genocidal and regionally destabilizing actions of Israel? How would you fight the psychopaths running that country?

    Biden and Scholz have proven that there is literally nothing that will stop them from supporting Genocide. They really want WW3.

    Israel committed a blatant act of war on Iran and they keep delivering israel weapons and. Biden even blocked UN condemnation of it.

    At some point the Iran cannot conclude anything other than diplomacy with Nazis being impossible. The only reason israel can do unlimited escalation is because Genocide Joe endorses it all.

      That’s a pretty huge detour to take to decide that Iran attacking Israel for an action Israel took is Joe Biden’s fault. Things are allowed to happen in the world without them being the fault of the US.

        Yeah how could an American F35 throwing an American bomb and American blocking of the UN resolution be Joe Bidens fault?

        I cannot figure out how Joe Biden supplying israel with all the equipment to commit this extreme violation of international law and afterwards promising to protect israel against any retaliation could possibly be relevant here.

          A US company selling F35s doesn’t make them responsible for everything that F35 ever does. There were no American decision makers saying to bomb the Iranian embassy. There was a US decision maker when the US (prior administration) killed Qasem Soleimani, blame them for that. You have to see the clear daylight between killing someone with a gun and selling someone a rifle they later use for murder.

          Promising to protect Israel is a tactic to prevent retaliation, obviously. If you asked the Vatican I’d bet they are against Iran retaliating. It doesn’t retroactively cause blame for Israel’s actions to shift to everyone who doesn’t want Iran to retaliate.

            Selling weapons to a person or group which you know will abuse them does actually make you guilty.

            Can you address the party where American blocked condemnation of the strike at the UN by the way?
