US & Israel attack Iran

You should, because if the end result of this is the death of a leader, a load of bombing and then the status quo it all seems a bit pointless.
So we have to hope the Iranian people most affected by the regime are able to take control of their own destinies and forge a better future for themselves, installing civli liberties. Like they were pleading and protesting for.
 
Ha, and you call me naive.



As I said, the international community needs to step up.
One way of doing so is to stop letting America lead negotiations.

Oman was negotiating in good faith with Iran and by all accounts were making ground towards a resolution.

Why not let that play out before dropping bombs?
They won't though, and haven't.

That's why I called you naive.

You mean the Revolutionary Guard Corps buildings?

What exactly was the plan of the International Community to stop the murder of Iranians by it's own regime?
Well it’s certainly not this war which won’t do anything to stop it either, but it will kill tens of thousands as a by product for whatever the fuck it is.
 
Well you’re saying the war is about helping Iranian people change their regime which the guys running it say is not the case.
I've not said the war is 'about' anything. I'd like to see where I have stated what this war is about or others intentions for it.

I'm higlighting there's a opportunity for those Iranians who have been oppressed to free themselves from said oppressive regime. I've not made any comment on the intentions the US and Israel have. I leave that for others to argue over.

This is my concern, there doesnt seem to be a plan for the future beyond "we have to hope they take control of their own destinies".

Maybe that approach will work better for all concerned than it has in the past.

Tens of thousands were being killed by the regime itself. Don't remember a lot of outcry on here about it.

There was some tutting... i'll be fair.

That's the hope I have, and at this point that's all anyone has.
It's a lot better than what it has been the last few months; watching and tutting at the regime's heinous actions.
 
As an aside, feels like this conflict is the final nail in the coffin of Twitter/X as any kind of meaningful platform. There’s so much misinformation and endless AI generated videos. Every comment is asking Grok if the content is real, and even Grok’s replies are often not credible. It’s an absolute mess. Nice one, Elon.
Honestly don't think it matters, everyone bar the idiots know it's a mouthpiece for warmongering corporate right wingers, and pay it no heed.

I am more concerned the free press are delivering un fact checked info and passing off the whole thing so comfortably with out criticism or concern.

Only a few hrs ago. the independanta headline was: IDF prepare to enter Lebanon after given permission.

Permission??? fuck sake they make it sound like you are asking to borrow a pen or leave a meeting to go for a piss

Elon made Twitter a much worse platform.

The worst part: anyone can get verified, and users are paid based on the number of replies to their posts. That creates a direct incentive for people to post fake news and divisive content that sparks conflict.

The so-called “Community Notes” system is ineffective because most misleading posts never receive notes, and even when they do, those grifter accounts still gain millions of followers. If Elon were serious about fighting misinformation, he would suspend accounts that frequently receive Community Notes. But those are exactly the accounts that get the biggest payouts, since they’re also the ones generating most profit for X.

In other words, the more misinformation and conflict, the more views and money X makes. The trend is likely to get worse unless there’s some kind of regulation.
 
You need to watch SAS Rouge Heroes and stop panicking mate!

You stand up to bullies!
Who mentioned not standing up to bullies?

I suggested that vulnerabilities in our cyber system could well be exploited and bearing in mind we have people who go out and panic buy at the drop of a hat, a couple of days without the likes of card payments, mobile phones etc would likely not be well dealt with by the general public.

Thanks for the TV recommendation though.

Its not beyond the capabilities of the international community.

So thats what I want to happen. And thats what I believe should happen.

Your hope that this will all be resolved by the Iranian people finding a way to miraculously take control of their destiny will need huge levels of support from the international community. Not just bombs

So. when Israel annex lebanon, then turn their eyes to Jordan it wil lbe for the good of them also, not about oil, cutting off china from resources and cementing influence and power in the region by having every other state in a constant state of flux and tumoil.

Because we all know once the dust settles and if a regiem change happens the Iranian people will be left to whatever factionalism emerges.

Trump has no post war plan, cunts just winging it

So far it has been.

International Community should indeed now step in; UN peacekeepers as the 'boots on the ground', ambassadors of all nations, stationed in Iran, to help forge a new constitution for the people of Iran offering civil liberties and freedoms and protection of freedom of expression etc.

Its never been outside the capabilities of the international community.

What has been lacking is the political will to tell America to fuck off. There are signs that is changing.

What are your thoughts on the negotiations with Oman? Not worth going down that path as an alternative to war?

I haven't said anything remotely close to what you're suggesting.

Again, don't care what Trump thinks or wants, my concern is for the people of Iran. That's where everyone's focus should be. The regime is gone, the remnants leaderless, this is where the UN steps in to ensure a peaceful transition of power over to the people.
 
There won’t be enough Patriot missiles to go round unless they stop supplying Ukraine! The shit will hit the fan once they’ve used them up Iran could be hitting Arab states anywhere they like, if they go for the oil fields big time or shipping the world will grind to a halt.

If they end up a cornered animal and were lashing out in desperation there’s a nuclear power station in the UAE. Those airfields over the other side of the Gulf to Iran suddenly lose their capacity to operate if there’s a radioactive cloud over head.

I imagine the shareholders at Lockheed Martin and Raytheon are buying themselves gold plated yachts with the demand for their product since the invasion of Ukraine and now this crisis. Has left them in a situation where they can’t make them quick enough.
