Okay but why is Ikea monitoring Iran's nuclear program?
... oh, I need to new glasses.
what’s different about iran having nukes than say the US having them?
That they say "Death to America!" but don't ask why they say it.
i the same way the US did to japan when they actually did war crimes with nukes?
US introduced Iran to nukes when they were forcing them to Westernize with some agreements that they wouldn’t do XYZ with nukes. Then when the revolution went sideways that power went into the hands of the theocratic Muslims. So Muslim nation bad, Catholic nation good.
The US has USED nukes though - no other nation has. as it is, the US has war crimed with nukes far more than any other nation.
Technically it wasn’t a war crime when they did it, right? The world is trying to limit who has nukes so we don’t destroy the human race.
how was it not at the least a crime against humanity during war? was what the nazis did not “technically” a crime at some point? no. it was always a crime.
the point is that the US has used nukes, they didn’t even need to, but chose to to “scare” the watching communists next door.
I agree with you. It was a crime against humanity. I’m saying g legally it was not a crime then. But to your point, US has proven to be reckless. I think a lot of this goes back to WWI. The western world is afraid of Muslim countries becoming the dominant power again.
Good for them, fuck Western hegemony.
If you don't want iran to have nukes ask other countries to denuclarize
Hey, what other countries? Like Israel which doesn't have nukes? Oh, wait ..
I see that Orange's deal making and negotiations are doing wonders.
I definitely first read it as Ikea Warns Iran and got very confused/excited
Iran: The new uranium is not that rich
Anthony Bourdain:
Excuse tony, he is no longer with us to tell us about all the flavor in the new Iranian uranium.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
