Middle East Conflict

[mexico1970]

If you genuinely think that it’s preferable for Iran to have nuclear weapons over Israel then you’re even dafter than I thought you were.

Presumably you’d like to see Iran provide Hamas with nuclear weapons once they have them as well.

Absolute comedy gold on here.

They are more aligned with the morals of Iran, it's no surprise really.

People talk about Iran and how bad they are in the same way people talk about City and how guilty we are.
Essentially they've listened to propaganda for years and it's become truth in their own heads.
In the grand scheme of things they've caused way less mayhem than the US and Britain. Oh yes and Russia, Germany, France etc
At least since Xerxes was strutting his stuff.

To be fair, Iran is pretty great unless you are a women or you believe in Democracy and the freedom of speech.

Imagine this political sub forum under Iranian censure and what would happen to most of the posters who like to criticise?

All that aside though, it hates Israel, isn’t fond of Jews, are fellow enemies of the West so it’s great.

Like I said. Deterrent theory.

It's why British citizens leaked our atomic bomb secrets to the USSR.

if you want to say only one side should have nuclear weapons, I assume you mean "our side". I'd rather no-one had them, but you can't have it both ways.

Only if you ignore their ongoing support for Assad in Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon and supply of arms to Russia that are being used in Ukraine. And then there’s their support for the Houthis in Yemen and Hamas in Gaza. So yes, apart from all that they’re just sat around at home not bothering anyone (apart from any of their own people who openly don’t want Iran to continue to be a theocracy).

Again you are falling into the same trap. People, not necessarily you, had never heard of the Houthis until quite recently, when quickly we were told they're baddies.
Yes Iran is involved in the geopolitical scene in it's area supporting groups you don't like. However at least it's in their backyard. What's America and the UK's excuse.
I'd also like to know when Iranian paratroopers landed in London and arrested an elected prime minister.

Ukraine isn’t in their backyard yet many Russian drone attacks are using Iranian made equipment. They’ve also been involved in numerous terrorist plots around the world including actual or foiled attacks in Argentina, Thailand, Albania, Denmark, France, India and Kenya. It’s true that most of their activities are within their own region but it’s not true to say that they don’t do anything outside their backyard - mostly using proxies but in many cases using their own IRGC people.

The Houthis have been killing thousands for years and to suggest no one has ever heard of them is ridiculous.

On a thread where posters are up in arms over an alleged massacre and genocide we get the same posters suddenly turning a blind eye to terrorists who are guilty of such crimes and will even go as far as claiming it’s all propaganda against them we are falling for.

Here is their slogan…

God is the Greatest
Death to America
Death to Israel
A Curse Upon the Jews
Victory to Islam

Of course they are against Israel so no real surprise.

Its mind boggling this thread at times watching the mental gymnastics on display.

It's amazing how the Houthis have only started attacking ships since the Genocide in Isreal.

I get it though, Nothing to do with it.
