That’s a pretty dumb thing to ask someone througb the medium of text.

You just called for his execution, how can you follow that up with “promoting violence, is not the right solution”?

Yeah I think that’s why Iran attacked the US base (might have been multiple, I can’t really remember) iirc.

I think a big part of why the US didn’t respond is that a) they took out Soleimani first and b) an Iranian air defence battery, on high alert expecting US retaliation, immediatley shot down a passenger jet.

The airliner being downed really took the sting out of it, kind of like someone swinging at you, barely connecting, and then immediately punching themselves in the dick.

It’s more likely that they are being sent because they are trained to operate THAAD and sending them is more efficient than training IDF troops to operate it.

Iran launched missiles at US bases in Iraq a few years ago with very little in the way of retaliation.

Operating the anti ballistic missile aystem that’s being sent.

I don’t remember asking you. Oink oink.

Person who posts something on the internet: “omg why would you comment”

Confidently incorrect.

They never implied you were white, they implied you were racist.

That you think there would be outrage highlights your lack of understanding.

International waters are just so. It’s only a problem when a country decides to try and restrict access to international waters, and one way to show that this decision is not accepted is to sail warships through it.

You ok dude? Kinda seems like you’re just screaming into the wind here.

There would never have been any peace treaty, the allies had already agreed that axis surrender must be unconditional.

Japan having one condition would not have matteted, because the allies were not interested in a conditional surrender.

If you ignore the many examples throughout history of more violence being the solution to violence, perhaps you may have a point.

I can go on now?

Everybody always gets hung up on the nukes but I never see anyone complaining about the firebombing which killed many times more people (or the Japanese and their many attempts at biological warfare).

War is inherently bad, and using powerful weapons to end it sooner is the pragmatic and often moral choice. Would you have preferred that the allies invaded Japan, causing millions more to die? Or perhaps simply blocade Japan, causing millions more to die? It’s easy to be moralistic when you don’t have to make decisions that have millions of lives hanging on them.

Coming from the person who said

And I’m not even convinced the earth, on average, is warming rather than cooling

I’m not sure what part of my comment you took to mean I thought anything pleasant about the Ottoman empire but cool thanks for the info?

There was a somewhat peaceful coexistence of all kinds of religions before the collapse of the Ottoman Empire (let’s not get into the genocides the Ottoman Empire committed here).

“If you ignore all of the racially driven genocides, the Ottomans were quite chill”

“Chat shit, get banged”

Heed! Paper! Now!

The party that kicked members out for claiming that Israel influenced politics in the UK is hilariously influenced by Israel.

It’s crazy how scared neolibs were of an actual socialist (Jeremy Corbyn) getting near the levers of power.
