Middle East Conflict | Netanyahu orders strikes on Gaza (p1161)

[metalblue]

Lockerbie was Libya.

Debatable.

Can’t see what the long term legitimate objectives are here from Iran.

They know that if the US react it will be on a far bigger scale than the Iranians could manage.

Look if China had military bases in Belgium, France and Holland and had just blown up a nuclear power station in the UK how would you expect us to act.

Cower in a corner or come out all guns blazing, which is what Iran appears to be doing.

 

[metalblue]

Aggression or violence against parties not in a time of war to achieve a political goal?

Again it’s the LITERAL definition of terrorism. And I can’t stand the Iranian regime, but let’s call a spade a fucking spade.

So is the idea that terrorism is whatever I say it is, and a bomb in an arena is terrorism but dropping bombs from a plane, or stealing land isn't.

So is Iran now a terrorist state for firing missiles in to Qatar? Or is it simply a good old fashioned act of war.

 

[Metal Biker]

If internet rumours are true it’s looking like 6 missiles at the US base in Qatar and 1 at a base in Iraq.

If true it’s either a measured response or they just don’t have the missiles left.

Why send them at all, if it's the former.

 

[metalblue]

Are Israeli settlers terrorists?

Probably.

Cock waving for the home crowd.

Cnn reported 10 at Qatar and 1 at Iraq

What sources are these?
It's not as though the Americans and the Israelis have never made shit up to suit their narrative.

Of course. It doesn’t mean it isn’t true. We will never know for sure.

Well obviously the US by doing what they did have declared war on Iran and therefore Iran's response is war.

He answered it better that I could :)

 

[TinFoilHat]

Netanyahu will be loving this. He'll own from the Nile to the Euphrates at this rate.

Whilst murdering a few more Palestinians whilst our eyes gaze elsewhere...

Long term, who knows. Probably not good for them. Short term, they were always going to try to save some face after the U.S. attack.

Except most of the home crowd hates them.
To me all they've done is opened their fly. :)

 

[Indaparkside]

Iran gave Qatar pre warning to avoid casualties it’s just Iran saving grace to there people a token gesture nothing more

 

[Claytop]

Probably a token response, they don’t want America to actually destroy them… but don’t want to look like there would be no response.

 

[metalblue]

Do you realize how stupid you sound whilst defending the most warlike country on the planet.
I'll say it again. Iran has every right to be concerned and involved in its immediate area.
Unlike the US.
Hamas and Hezbollah are the outcome of the US arming Israel to the teeth.

What about the Houthis?

 

[Blue warrior]

All coordinated through back channels so Iran doesn’t look weak

It never ceases to amaze me how a country with a similar population to Scotland is at the epicentre of world political affairs.
ps No disrespect to Scotland.

 

[TinFoilHat]

What about the Houthis?

And the blowfish?

 

[Lowtower]

Why isn't our Keith firing some missiles at France?
