Topic: Russia launches invasion of Ukraine (*) & use spoiler tags for anything graphic!

[Buster Gonad]

One of those is an organisation, not a country.

I suppose they are but still a major  player who set the current conflict in motion.  And in a way the leadership of a country. 

[Red-Soldier]

Love the mental fucking gymnastics that has people in here and on the internet thinking Iran with its current regime are somehow ever the good guys. Mental.

I don't see anyone saying that they are.

[killer-heels]

Netanyahu has played Biden for a fool.

Quite funny how he said Trump would go to war with Iran, when its now likely Biden got there first.

No one is saying the Iranians are the good guys. No one. But the fact is, they were attacked first.

[Red-Soldier]

Came here expecting to see you giddy and was not surprised. Mustn't have been this happy since October 7th.

That's bang out of order and needs reporting.

Hmmm directly? Yes. Indirectly? No, not true.

Well it's just time and place. Doesn't really matter who's American president. 

[TepidT2O]

You could report it yourself.  But you won’t, and you know why.

[A Complete Flop]

Reuters now reporting ballistic missiles have now been fired from Iran. So that's drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles.

This is now getting very serious indeed. Ballistic missiles will only take a matter of minutes to reach Israel

Properly fucking weird. The internet and the bubbles of affirmation of odd politics it creates have a lot to answer for. Also people getting upset about Seyed Razi Mousavi being killed. If they cared about civilians in the middle east, they wouldn't be parroting the propaganda that killing that murdered is akin to an attack on diplomats

[TepidT2O]

Given that the other Islamic states largely hate the Iranian regime, I wonder how this works out for them ?

[TepidT2O]

What do you mean?  Because the thread will get locked?

You know what I mean.

Presumably they're aiming for everything to reach the air defences around the same time to overwhelm them.

It does seem mental for the US to unconditionally back Israel as it's so open to a leader poking every bear in the vicinity.

[classycarra]

Iran didn't attack an Israeli consulate in a foreign country. That's a serious break of International law, and unheard of. We need to stop making excuses for Israel. They've gone rogue.

Unheard of? Bit gullible aren't you?

Not even the first time Iran have been involved in 2024

This was predicted by most, unfortunately.  This is what happens when you appease/support extremists.

A huge risk for Iran that if this doesn’t cause too much impact on Israel they look utterly foolish.

[TepidT2O]

Which extremists?

[Red-Soldier]

You know what I mean.

I really don't.  I don't want the thread locked, so I wont report it.  I do not condone personal attacks, though.

[killer-heels]

Will they? Its just a cock swinging contest, look what we can do and all that shite. Its about establishing a sort of dominance.

Also its very likely they told America what they were doing. Iran dont want a kick off with the States on this.

[Red-Soldier]

Which extremists?

There are a few here, so yes, the ones I were talking about were the current Israeli government.  It's an extremist government which cannot be appeased and is not doing global stability any favours.

If your cock fails to fire as expected, you're going to look a fool.  See Samie for details!

Is it as extreme as Hamas who called for the extermination of the Jewish race?

Is it as extreme as the Iranian regime?

You need to be careful with your mudslinging. As abhorrent as we think their policies are, it is literally the only democratically eclectic regime in the region.

Same with Iranian. Hence the problem.

(The key difference being the Iranian regime is a fucking horror show domestically aswell - just ask any young woman out there or any actual Iranian whose emigrated to the UK - humanities lecturers in their mid-50s from Basingstoke and the like selling SWP papers don’t count).

(None of the above means it’s not blatantly fucking obvious that Netanyahu is mental and, like Putin, willing to burn the world to save himself)

[killer-heels]

He was pele!

But not quite Jota.

[Schmidt]

Iran is kind of on its own though.

In the region I guess yeah, though Iran/Russia/China/NK all seem to have shared interests. I'm sure the US being distracted from Taiwan and Ukraine is seen as a positive (not that they're helping Ukraine anyway).

[jillc]

Videos on twitter supposedly showing the first drone reaching Tel Aviv.

Yeah they do but they are also fairly separate in how they do things.

Instructive (although was obvious to anyone who reads what you nod along to)

[aw1991]

Nope. First drones are expected in a hour or so. And definitely not Tel Aviv, one of the most western cities.

That's the point though, isn't it.  If the only democracy in the region is behaving like this, we really are in trouble!  For me, it's been obvious for months now, what is happening and the possible implications.

BN is a warmonger, it's that simple and other members of his government are even worse.  Biden should told them months ago, if they don't tone it down, then there will be serious consequences.  He should've spelled it out, plain and clear. 

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Must be a relief for you to have a war widening on multiple fronts so you can drone on about your obsessions on a football based internet forum.

And they can vote them out. Try that in Iran, Syria, Saudi ….etc..

Iran, through it's proxies, has been attacking Israel every day for the last 6 months. Hezbollah has lobbed 1000's of rockets across an international border, forcing tens of thousands of people to abandon their homes, and killing civilians and soldiers.

 But yeah Israel started it. And we should just bend over and take it. After all, Iran are the good guys

Any word on the theocracy launching weapons from multiple countries tonight, no?

"Behaving like this" on a night where the civilians of Israel are being targeted by the country that's been desperate to derail their normalisation of relations throughout the middle east is absolutely textbook/classic stuff from people in the west with your politics. Everything is always framed so predictably.

Seems like you don't have a complaint about that, nor them using their sectarian proxies (as they've done for years) around the various locations of the middle east they've condemned to violence. Not a worry across your numerous posts about civilians being deliberately targeted either. Just 'look what you've gone and done' to the country being attacked again.

[jillc]

Iran is now threatening Jordan, saying it will be next if it interferes.

[killer-heels]

Apparently the Isrealis can neither confirm nor deny that Iran informed them of the form and timing of these attacks.

Its all theatre for the c*nts.
