didn't the UN find that they were enriching uranium past what was required for nuclear power, which indicates they're enriching it for nuclear weapons? To my knowledge this is the first time in something like 20 years that this has happened
to be clear, fuck israel for this escalation and their horrific genocide. There is no justification even if Iran had a fleet of WMDs.
I'm genuinely not sure how similar Iraq is to this
Were you too young for Iraq?
It was a bit different, Americans were baying for revenge after 9/11, but also many people were adamantly against going to war.
I think there was less evidence of any WMD, everyone knew it was bullshit, but someone had to pay for 9/11.
In this case, the USA doesn't really give a shit about Iran, nobody has a score to settle, but the killer is - and the thing I remember from last time - is that at the beginning everyone was like cut the bullshit - but as time went along the media convinced a majority it was a good idea.
The same will happen here, they just haven't had a chance to catch up yet.
What did Iraq have to do with 9/11?
Nothing except that it's in the middle east and is majority Muslim.
That's all the American public needed.
Depressingly accurate I think. It resulted in very large protests that achieved nothing here. I wonder if Iran would lead to even more protesting, or if support will be limited to avoid that.
