Iran have vastly increased revolutionary guard and mass deployment on irans border This is going to get far worse before it gets better I hope no UK personnel are in Iran right now " "This is going to get far worse before it gets better" Same was said about Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lybia etc. Investing in companies that build weapons is morally wrong, no? I get it, war is profitable. That's why there's so much around the world. How long until it arrives here? | |||

"If Trump and Israel are seriously looking to topple the Iranian regime it will require more than ground to air ordnance to take out the revolutionary guard.. " They have apparently brought in their F22’s so it may be more than just shock and awe.. Apparently they asked the uk if they could use their bases here and in Cyprus to launch operations… UK said no Also the Middle East countries with us bases have said they can’t use weapons based there or their airspace There is a bit of irony in that Israel have kinda proved Irans point about not wanting to their own ballistic missiles when Israel attack them first…. There is no such thing as a preemptive defensive strike | |||

"The current regime exists because of the US assassinating Iran's leader decades ago and installing a puppet. The US wants Iran's resources, same as with other invasions. This also helps Israel expand its territory. The plan for greater Israel. The US can veto any sanctions from the UN. International law doesn't apply to them or any of the founding members. There's bad people on all sides of this." I knew Israel would be to blame somehow.🤣 | |||

"I think the Russians have their own issues in Ukraine. " Losing Iran as an ally could be decisive in Ukraine, and make a peace deal more likely. Imagine if Trump depose the dictator Maduro and the Mad Mullahs, ends the war in Gaza, and gets a peace deal in Ukraine.

So invading Iraq post 9/11 was justified?
You wish Saddam was still in place ?
Did I say that? How about you answer the question:
Do you believe the invasion of Iraq was justified because saddam’s ousting was celebrated? "So you won't answer my question but expect me to answer yours. Sorry, don't play that way.  | |||

Yeah let's make it all about making money rather than the loss of lives.
At least 50000 Iranians killed by their own Islamic regime. I posted many times about this and hardly anyone responded. Of course now the US is involved we'll see comment after comment attacking them. Thankfully the threads are still there to show the truth.
Some comments come over as anything but the West, I think it is more to do with people not being able to disconnect their Trump hatred...
Indeed, and most comments unfortunately. Meanwhile in Iran there are videos of women celebrating the bomb strikes. Such courage and integrity, qualities much of the West has abandoned.
There were celebrations when Saddam was topped weren’t there?

I appreciate it presents a challenging conundrum. None of us would main about the toppling of a dictator, but at what price? "The full invasion of Iraq was not justified either in international law or for pragmatic reasons, and the post Sadaam management of Iraq was a disaster by the Bush administration. However the Iraqi people also bear some responsibility for their own country and the sectarianism there. I doubt very much that the US will invade Iran, nor does that country have the Sunni/Shia divide which has plagued Syria. Iran also has a long historical integrity as a country and culture which Syria and Libya (an Obama/Clinton disaster) lacked. If the US and Israel can remove Iran's leadership and cripple the Revolution Guard then I think there is a good chance a better regime will arise, and their actions will be justified. | |||

". If the US and Israel can remove Iran's leadership and cripple the Revolution Guard then I think there is a good chance a better regime will arise, and their actions will be justified." You can’t justify an action like war based upon the potential outcome though. What if the desired outcome isn’t achieved? Then the war wasn’t justified. That makes no sense. | |||

War can be justified if failing to act would produce more harm than not acting. It is then absurd to say a war isn’t justified because it produced a result that wasn't planned for after the event. | |||

At least 45 others were wounded in the attack, the news agency reported. It provided no further details about the casualties USA killed a lot of civvies on Afghan and Israel will snuff anything Arabic | |||

I think there’s a lot of sensible people involved in the process in the US. Trump might say “shoot” but his generals wasn’t do it. Iran doesn’t have that issue. All the generals are just as fanatical, that’s why they are generals. | |||

"More sandbox shit, as long as they don't drag Britain into it or start another refugee crisis I don't care" Luke Pollard is Defence Readiness minister and Plymouth MP. He’s posted on FB omitting the recently announced ‘planes in the sky’ RAF support given to USA and Israel. Labour took UK to an illegal war in Iraq that led to hundreds of service personnel killed. Another 150-250k dead Iraqis and two million Iraqis made homeless. Three decades of terror attacks in the west have followed. Best Labour keep UK away from this, we don’t want any more synagogue attacks or terror plots. | |||

I’m not comfortable profiting from industries whose growth depends on armed conflict and human suffering. That would conflict with my personal moral responsibility. . Profitability and ethical legitimacy are not the same thing. . Many things can be profitable without being morally acceptable. . My investment decisions aren’t based solely on expected returns, but also on whether I can justify my participation ethically. . For me personally, profiting from war creates a moral conflict. Even if I’m far removed from the battlefield, I would still be benefiting financially from systems that produce real human harm. That’s not something I’m willing to participate in. . I have to be able to live with my decisions. Financial gain isn’t worth compromising my sense of ethical consistency. I would rather earn less and remain aligned with my principles than profit in a way that conflicts with them. . Choosing to invest is an affirmative act. It’s not neutral. It’s allocating capital toward a specific outcome. I take that responsibility seriously." If you have a company pension you will have very little say on the pension investments, ofcourse you can wave your little green flag and request only green and arms free investments and work an extra 20 years until you have enough capital to retire 🤣😂🤣 | |||

"Is there going to be a mass demonstration against the action by the US and Israel in London next week? ### Waits for tumble to clear at Trafalgar Square
Never mind London it's happening in Glasgow Buchannan street right now, all the retards that used to protest shouting save gazza are all now shouting save Iran 🇮🇷 waving their flags with no clue who they actually want to save.
They were there on Saturday and they will be back today making total dicks of themselves whilst disturbing all shoppers "Are we against flags and protest this week? Because a few months ago we were all for them . | |||

Don't make it your business to interfere with Israel and Israel won't make it their business to interfere with you. By building an axis of anti-Israel militias, they drew a target on themselves. You can't really complain about other countries doing to Iran exactly what Iran plotted to those countries now, can you? Had Iran let go of the vision of destroying Israel and the US in the '90s and '00s and not pursued offensive capabilities and enrichment (while reiterating their vision), they wouldn't be where they are now.

Article 2(4) of the UN charter "Right, your confusion makes sense now. You're referring to Customary International Law. "Illegal"is an incorrect term in this instance. You might be arguing that it is an "internationally wrongful act" or an "unlawful act." Even if that is your argument, there are counterarguments with merit, specifically in relation to preemptive self defense. While this might sound hollow regarding the US, it is very real regarding Israel, since Iran has been attacking Israel directly and indirectly, and their rhetoric, if taken at face value, is no different to someone amassing and arming a group of friends outside someone's house, while chanting "we're gonna kill you soon!". And even if it is indeed one day interpreted by some judiciary as "illegal", when facing an existential threat (which Israel arguably is), it's the right thing to do. However, there is a degree of subjectivity here, and you have clearly nailed your colours to a different perspective. | |||
