its so farcical how other states have to spell out that attacking them is an act of war because the US & Europe are so impudent
There are decades of fucking around, then there are weeks of finding out.
The Scramble for Africa and its consequences will never end before imperialism is dead.
Honestly, that's probably exactly what the US wants.
I'm sure people like Vicky Nuland and Lindsey Graham are salivating for this.
I honestly didn't think we'd go as far as we have to protect Israel, I certainly never would've thought it would be as far as protecting them genociding the people whose lands they stole and are squatting on (hiding evidence of land theft by killing and driving off the previous owners).

TBF- this was always ongoing. It wasn't "blatant systemic destruction of all hospitals, UN offices, and outright deprivation of all necessities of life" the way it has become now, but the genocide has been ongoing for 76 years at this point.
And considering the Anglo-Europeans' history of past and present genocides- in their settler-colonies in the US, Canada, Australia, and NZ to this day, and historically in their support of South African apartheid, Rhodesia, French Algeria, British Kenya, etc... none of this is surprising behavior coming from them.
That they're bringing the world closer and closer to WW3 over Israel on the other hand is maybe unexpected- but honestly? If not Israel, they're in unofficial war against Russia, and blatantly seeking war with China at the moment as well. I suppose at some point (a line crossed by the west long, long ago- perhaps 500 years ago) the pretense of peace stops being an option altogether- and perhaps world war is the inevitable outcome, from having the most warlike nation in history, founded on and still maintained through genocide, slavery (prison slavery nowadays), and global destabilization, having reached the pinnacle of hegemony.
Whatever it is, I hope AmeriKKKa ceases to be a country within my lifetime. Humanity will be all the better off for it.
Let's hope they did.
Israel gets to play the pretend game, after all. Why shouldn't Iran?
Did they have confirmed nukes at any point? I thought they agreed to stop their nuclear program at energy production only.
No. They never had nuclear weapons. They’d have to do tests which you can detect with seismographs and which can be confirmed with testing of air for particles on the borders of the country.
Additionally Isn’treal would have acted differently. Either suing for peace or forcing the US to join it in an attack.
Additionally one of the top Islamic authorities there opined nuclear weapons were un-Islamic.
