Somewhere John Bolton just got an erection.

I'm watching live on YouTube, it sounds like a thunderstorm in Tel Aviv right now as they get intercepted.

can you post some updates. not able to check anything but Lemmy rn.
There's lots of damage from intercepted missile shrapnel all around Tel Aviv, but it appears they were all shot down.
Now Iran will probably say revenge has taken and move on, but we will see.
Just in case this becomes a problem, the title of the article seems to have changed since I posted this.
Whelp...
I guess well deserved after what IDF is doing.
unpopular opinion: no one deserves war. Except for a few people at the top, who usually aren't affected by it all that much.
It’s indiscriminate bombing in response to indiscriminate bombing. No one benefits from this.
Perhaps the one nation that is inextricably linked to the west could stop escalating it then aye.
Like we can’t control Iran, but we should be able to reign in Israel’s bloodlust. Alas, if we couldn’t control them in Gaza then I’m afraid that rabid dog is out of control.
You and I will agree that Israel is escalating this near century old conflict and the US needs to stop sending weapons to them, but nothing good will come from more bombs being dropped in the region.
I think this conflict only started when Israel were given someone else land and decided to take more and more.
But no one back then is still alive.
The planet does.
Fewer humans is *always* a win for the planet long term, the only entity we are basically united as a species in generational war against. The only entity we by actions hate more than ourselves and each other. We're the worst biological catastrophe to evolve since the trees of the Carboniferous period that captured too much carbon before the bacteria that could decompose them had evolved, but unlike those trees that lacked agency, we do the vodoo that we do by choice.
I dislike my species a little more each day, based on our actions of said day. It's quite cathartic in the face of such madness to remember that our mother *will* win that war she didn't instigate against her ungrateful little brat mistake of evolution, and she will recover from that mistake in no time to the Earth, just a couple million years in its 3.8 billion year history of almost entirely homeostatic life. It will be as if all the world's religions and cultures of manipulative avarice never existed at all.
Thats a happy ending. The world *will* have peace once more. Anyway, how bout this October heat?
Not at all. It entirely depends on which humans. There is a very small number responsible for the overwhelming share of planetary destruction.
I mean, I'd agree with you, but the humans that actually aren't a threat to the planet, that lived in homeostasis with the Earth, barely exist anymore, the humans with flags saw to that.
For the record yes, the developed world's quality of life should be much, much, much, lower, and the very concept of economic growth/metastasis should be a widely accepted slur at this point, as it's killing us.
Part of not being a threat to Earth is also not building and maintaining, let alone growing a massive military industrial complex, which means being destroyed by humans that want your shit and don't care about the future doing it, so it's a paradox.
It looks like Iran is focusing on Targeting military targets, while Israel has been attacking civilian targets, killing already over a thousand in Lebanon. On top still facilitating a genocide in Gaza. The only way for this cycle of violence to end is for Israel to stop the aggression, which I only see as realistic when the US stops sending weapons

Yes, I'm aware what the position of the US State Department is. They will always defend America and it's Allies regardless of the situation. I don't know why you would just take them at their word instead of look for independent verification. None of this discredit my points in the previous comment, it does show how far Miller will lie about Israeli operations, which have already killed over a thousand civilians in Lebanon.

Thank you for confirming that Iran did not tell US officials about the attack. Your sources definitely helped me reach the factual conclusion.
And I'm providing substance to the discussion. What did I say that was discrediting something? Unless something in that quote, you feel, attacks one of your points?
You guessed wrong.

You act like he said you deserve it. Which he didn't
I'm sorry, but are the current actions of Israel in Palestine ok? Bombing Lebanon - also ok?
Where did I say thay?
If the imperial news is based on "IDF says", then find another source.
This already happened, and was true. I don't understand the comment.
idf could say the sky is blue at this point and id go outside to check for myself.
K, but considering Iran did attack Israel... Yesterday... And the comment was made just moments ago, I myself find the comment to be misplaced.

The thing is, Israel is seen as 'strategic' to Western (mostly US) interests in the region.
Having a haven for Jews doesn't make sense when they're surrounded by enemies. If people *really* cared about the safety of Jews, they would have pushed to establish communities in the US.
