The previous supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, had also issued a fatwa against Iran acquiring nuclear weapons. His son, the new supreme leader, is described as being much more inclined towards them.Probably was before too, but having his country assaulted mid-peace talks and some eight members of his immediately family murdered is not likely to have made him any less radical.
And get super angry when someone smarter tries to tell them what to do and immediately fire them in favor of fawning yes-men who will lick their shoes and tell them they're the bigliest geniuses ever.
Where have I heard this before? Ah yes! Richard "I am not a crook" Nixon's "When the president does it, that means it's not illegal". Spoilers: It was illegal.
Watch, he's gonna stage a publicity stunt where he shows up at the gas station closest to Mar-a-Lardo and sharpies the prices
His administration has already committed a looooot of war crimes. He ain't afraid of adding a few more to the list.
Because that money goes to a buddy of someone in government who then offers kickbacks for it. These people have never been averse to spending money, just averse to spending it on anything that'd help anyone who isn't already rich
Sadly the US, law enforcement and otherwise, isn't exactly renowned for upholding it's end of treaties signed with anyone. Especially recently, but just not in general. But I would love to see a pack of Mounties just show up and in perhaps more diplomatic language tell these ICE hosers to fuck off, eh
He knows he'll never face the Hague unless something *drastically* changes in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Service-Members%27_Protection_Act
No, no, this is just "strategic reorganization of military assets".. /s
As long as it's 2bn of someone else's money anyway. I'm not entirely convinced he'd be willing to pay two dollars a day of his own money.
Prison slavery is already a thing and has been since *checks notes* 1865. Like, as formalized, Constitutional with a capital C legal and 'justified'. This is just them wanting more chattel than they could get from previous methods.
It is. The problem is, there's no real means of enforcing that. Who's gonna drag those genocidal fucks to the Hague in chains, and then risk having to defend the Hague from a literal invasion by the United States because there is a very real law on the US books to use *any means necessary* if the ICC tries to hold them or their allies accountable?
Because Israel has spent a lot of time, and a lot of money, and a lot of intrigue, on making sure that governments across the world will play ball or be declared "antisemites" to tar them on the international stage, and have the taps of Israeli cash cut off, and have their dirty laundry aired. Oh, and the US being Israel's ride-or-die willing to always protect them from any consequences is also a thing.
And the IDF would kill you and your entire community and then blare it all over the news outlets across the world as "SEE WHAT SAVAGES THESE PALESTINIANS ARE, THIS IS WHY WE MUST DEFEND OURSELVES"I'm not saying these Israeli invaders don't deserve a shooting, but just blasting one or two or three won't make it better, I fear.
Wow, it's almost like the US could've moved a bunch of stuff over *before* starting a war, and just used posturing as a "do it or else..!" coupled with the assumption that nobody would be so goddamn stupid as to start this war as cover.Also, nobody said that Iran is nice or that we don't care about women or LGBT folks' rights. You have a real issue with putting on some serious blinders on this topic, I *know* you're smarter than this because I've seen you on other topics.
I doubt I will be, but that is quite something. Still, to name one example, Vasily Arkhipov. The man was on a Soviet submarine off Cuba during the Missile Crisis, getting into an unfriendly encounter with a US navy group. Two of the officers in charge of nuclear release aboard wanted to fire a nuclear-tipped torpedo at the US ships because they thought that the Cold War had gone hot, but Arkhipov insisted that they surface and sort this out without resorting to nukes.
They know they can just buy politicians to ensure that the governments will support them anyway, and the citizens can't actually strike against Israel. And if citizens get so furious as to strike at random Jews in those countries? Even better, it's incredible fodder for Israeli propaganda of how "nowhere in the world except Israel is safe for Jews" to get more people to come in and be brainwashed into the next generation of colonizers.
All the while simultaneously begging for Ukrainian expertise in anti-drone warfare because they had years to watch Iranian drones being used against Ukraine by Russia, but learned precisely zero lessons before charging off to war against Iran themselves.
The single consolation there is that it'd require other people to launch them too. There's no "launch everything immediately" button under the Resolute Desk. And there have been cases throughout history of people refusing to launch.
"I have a bigger stick than you do and will beat you unless you do what I tell you to."That's about it. Or if you prefer, the golden rule - "he who has the gold, makes the rules".
No, they want something stricter than Obama's nuclear deal. JCPOA limited advanced centrifuges and enrichment of uranium to weapons-grade. Trump wants them to just dismantle all their nuclear power plants and get rid of all uranium enrichment, even for civilian-grade use. Because much like his pimp vladdy, trump has a hateboner for allowing other people to have electricity, it seems. See also: Cuba.
.. Ssssure. The US and Israel invading will *definitely* be good for the Iranian people. The IRGC is terrible, but don't fool yourself into thinking that Israel will allow anything good for the Iranian people if they have their way, and the US isn't exactly renowned for helping either.
Breathing? I hear that's nice this time of year.
Also living proof that the whole "Rich people are rich because they work hard and are smart!" is one ridiculous goddamn myth. Guy spends half his day on Twitter and is one of the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet.
Israel's actions make normal people hate Israel. Normal people can detach Israel from Jews. Otherwise you'll be hating every single ethnicity on the planet because somewhere, someone who is a member of that ethnicity is doing something bad.
They got a lot of cruelty done. And for a lot of his cultists, that's what they *really* wanted.
Knocked the nightstick out of his hand and then tried to get away from the sociopath attacking him? Surprised those pigs didn't call in a battallion of Merkava tanks to take down this incredibly dangerous violent riot /sSort of. Fucking Israelis.
Also sadly true
I have yet to see anyone actually offer much of an answer to the simple question of "How is AI meant to make money?"Genuinely. You see the techbros crowing about how it'll do this and that and fetch the moon and stars from the sky.. But how, exactly, will it be profitable?I mean it has uses - non-theft uses even - but I don't see it being the multitrillion dollar business they insist it will be to help with certain niché cases of research for example.
The Republicans would sooner carpet-nuke Iran than accept terms that would see their power wane, I fear.
