    These chemical weapons are so bad for the environment, they’re even turning the missiles gay!

    From grok so maybe totally wrong

    The inscription on the pink missile, written in Persian, reads: “در پاسخ به درخواست دخترم انقلابی”

    It translates to: “In response to the request of my revolutionary daughter.”

    The US killed Iran’s leadership and strengthened their resolve. Now a bunch of younger, more creative, and more passionate people have taken leadership positions. Iranian propaganda has proven more effective and internet savvy, and their military decision-making has likely improved due to destagnation. Trump literally threatening to wipe the entire civilization off the face of the earth likely pushes Iranians who are against the regime to reconsider (even if only temporarily while they deal with the bigger threat), and I couldn’t say I wouldn’t make the same judgment if I were in their position. What a colossal failure, but hey, at least the defense contractors are making money, right? I can’t wait for the blowback from this to inspire the next round of interventions, if we’re even still around by then.

    This is funny, but it’s also propaganda. You are viewing propaganda right now.

            Victims can always be bad guys. A burglar that gets shot by police is a victim, but still a criminal. That does not make him a good guy. Just that he did not deserve to get shot, only arrested.

            Saying otherwise is just tribalism and human nature forcing an us vs them narrative.

            The US and Israel uses that to their advantage, as does Iran, the Saudi, the UAE, Quatar, British Empire. They count on it in fact to get support for the bad things they do.

            Regarding legal targets for the war, its worth nothing that none of the participants have ratified the Rome Statute that would allow for them to be prosecuted for war crimes in the ICC.

              A burglar getting shot is not a victim, nor Iran is a burglar on any context. A more accurate analogy would be the US being a burglar that shoots the family of the house theyre robbing. The family shooting back the burglar in no way makes the burglar a victim.
