If BBC’s reporting is correct, what we are seeing in Iran right now is the same playbook Israel used in Gaza. They aren’t sticking to military targets. They are targeting society, and the country’s culture and heritage. To what extent US targeting is following their lead is unclear, but hospitals, schools, historic landmarks, and civil infrastructure are being destroyed with the clear intent of collective punishment. It is abhorrent, heinous, and criminal.
@mcnado And, to all the "Iraq is why we needed Trump" MAGAs out there, is far, far worse.

@sayonaraminasan I don’t think that will play out that way for Israel. It will just mean they won’t know who to negotiate with when the non-stop terror attacks start.
@mcnado indeed. They think they can pull a Gaza 2, but the Iranians won’t have it. This war is going to bleed the U.S and won’t have the desired effects for either of the warmongers I reckon.

@mcnado Iran is not Gaza. Iran is a theocratic dictatorship that will and has retaliated against soft civilian targets. They have been preparing for a US attack for 50 years.
Gaza is ethnic cleansing, a crime against humanity, of a small civilian population without a standing army or advanced technology or a massive asymmetric arsenal of drones and cyberweapons.
The US and Israel picked a fight like Putin did with his smug blitzkrieg invasion of Ukraine they were sure was going to be a cakewalk.
Iran isn't Gaza. Trump has learned nothing. -

It is the same terrible playbook for centuries.If you want to destroy a tribe/people, destroy their culture and heritage.

@mcnado That was my reaction, too, when I was reading about what's happening in Tehran — it sounds like Gaza. Hospitals and residential neighborhoods are getting bombed. Food is scarce. How in hell does this align with any of rationales given for this starting this war?

@mcnado that's why rest of the west (bar Spain & Ireland?) are fully supporting it? - not by providing material assistance like they did in Gaza but by not condemning, spreading the same old propoganda how it is the attacked is the bad guy in all of this and doing nothing meaningful to stop it as if they would act say it was China that started all of this. Funny how quickly West 2.0 Marketing guy from Davos backtracked not getting behind a pedo & his blackmailers.

@mcnado Well they are carpet bombing the fuck out of it. This wasn't simply about regime change. Isreal is planning on expanding just like the United states. The Forth Reich is here.

@mcnado Add to this that POTUS has said that Cuba is next, without the merest ripple of condemnation from the “international community”. After that? China? Nigeria? Canada? Spain?
The USA must be stopped. The only questions are when and by whom. I suspect USians themselves won’t do it. Their “allies” have shown their complicity. The contemporary Axis is much worse than the WW2 version. The UN needs to step up quickly.

@mcnado However with the Russians (and probably the Chinese) backing Iran, there will increasingly be a proxy war with the west - and particularly Europe. The west will starved of oil the lifeblood of economic activity.
Once the gulf states are destabilised due to their inability to rely on the income from oil and tourism their populations will revolt.This is likely to be a huge turning point in the world order which is exactly what Putin wants, and the Americans & Israelis are playing straight into his hands.

Iran isn't Gaza. Trump has learned nothing.@pattykimura @mcnado that’s who’s making the calls on this, is it? He has a voice in his ear and trump does whatever the last voice he heard told him to do. Until someone else worms him out this is Israel unfettered. Netanyahu doesn’t need to answer for another countries attack, he also gets free armaments, and non “special” soldiers to throw away. Trump gets to prove he answers to no one and he gets another Epstein distractor.

@mcnado The entire Republican Party and a decent number of Democrats need to be referred to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.

I don’t think that’s gonna fly.
The UN has no army. Until 2017 the US provided the bulk of any armed forces the UN mandated. -

Israel--and ISIS--and now the USA. Same demented, destructive, fanatic-fueled playbook.

@MikeFromLFE @mcnado Everyone can see the real villains are the US and Israël , with most europeans following their lead. To Blame Putin is deflection, and also lazy.

@mcnado Sigh..... Israel. Yes. It's been their plan since forever to take over Palestine, increase lands 30 kn north into Lebanon, then East and South. They even have what they call the Samson protocol to launch nuclear weapons if their enemies overtake them to kill everyone if they go down.
The fucking place is filled with psychopaths.
Who in their right mind gave Israel nuclear weapons. At what point in time did Israel seem competent or stable enough to hold nuclear weapons. They kill anybody.

Yet… Israel is 10 million people and 85 million Iranians is not 2 million Gazans.
That’s not an opinion, that’s counting.
