As shitty as this is, I think Iran is a paper tiger. Israel has been beating the shit out of them for years now. I don’t think they’re going to be able to successfully counterattack in any meaningful way.

    Iran is one of the biggest instigators of genocide in the Middle East. Their proxy terrorist groups have been systematically wiping out religious minorities for decades now.

    No, western proxies did that. Not resistance groups fighting an occupying force

    I think some resistance can be genocidal.

    Resistance can't be genocidal because the only goal is stopping the oppressor from oppressing the oppressed . The only genocidal state in the middle east is israel

    Just to be clear. You aren't saying Genocide justifies Genocide right?

    No, that's not what I'm saying. How did you even get that from what I said?

    You replied to Bristlecone asking:

    Right, so more genocide?

    With some information about how Iran does genocide, does that not imply it?

    Or do you just randomly post history in threads for no reason?

    Do you have a brand new account because your last one got banned for trolling?

    No sadly my old account was on lemme.ee, which was shutdown due to lack of admins stepping up. I was a member in good standing as far as I know.

    Wait a second. You think this is trolling? How long have you been on the internet for?

    Unless you don't think I'm trolling, but you are embarrassed because I correctly called you out. And now you're trying to distract everyone from your bad position by pointing a finger at me.

    Who knows?

    How does the attacked country being a "paper tiger" influence your judgement of whether it's shitty or not to attack it? Is it less shitty to attack a country because it's perceived as being weaker? Is it only shitty when the attacked country is able to defend itself? Why? That would make the Israeli genocide on Palestinians "less shitty" too, since you know, "Israel has been beating the shit out of them for years now."

    It's an interesting moral compass you've got there.

    I read his post as "as shitty as this is, it's not likely to break out into a full scale war we'll get pulled into". It's not about it being morally okay, or at least I didn't take it that way.

    It's the "I'm the center of the world and this does not look like it's going to affect ME so everything is alright" point of view

    Israel is the snot-nosed brat who runs and screams to the US while causing problems for everyone. If the US stopped propping up that sequel to nazi germany, we'd see who's the real paper tiger.

    They are attacking Israel all the time, who do you think is funding Hamas?
