Empire is when it's ok to bomb people but "taboo" to talk about it.
I fear in this case it's taboo to talk about it because realistically, what can they really do to fight back?
Iran absolutely has a right to defend itself from the Imperial powers and their warmongering.
But, will the US get involved so that it can finally attack Iran like they've wanted to for years? I mean, Israel initiated and Iran fired missiles back as a response and western media predictably wrote about it as if Iran attacked Israel.
Probably their best bet is a military alliance as a deterrent, but we all know the US doesn't back down from any opportunity to kill, dismember, steal, and colonize, no matter the cost.
The US will not get involved as much as people think. Iran has missiles aimed at the oil.
