Nothing stops you, but I suppose murdering tens of thousands of your own people is a fairly clear delineation that you are not a singular entity?

What do you call a regime which protects cannibal pedophiles?

The Aristocrats!

Man, why that joke gotta be so evergreen :/

OK. I'm not really christian (but grew up catholic) but know a lot and they are all like you. All hate Trump. All seem to hate war (but they do do fundraisers for Ukraine so I don't know if that is supporting war, it's not to me). And all work hard supporting our poor rural community. There's trump christians here too, but they don't define the religion or mean you can make blanket christian belief claims. Condemning…

Fuck it you guys are right, let's endorse bigotry against religions/groups. That should work out great.

Evangelicals aren't all Christians and 80% isn't all. But fuck it, assigning traits we don't like to all members of a community? That is 100% cool for Hacker News discussions. Trash take from all of you. But I'm glad you went hard so it can't be denied.

Hacker News has a blatant bigotry problem against Christians.

> 30K is such an incredibly high number that you really have to be gullible to trust it. Correct; it's a very high number. Yes, either that, or shows how ignorant you are about the extent of brutality of the regime.

I’m ignorant? I didn’t see any more brutality than I saw from US regime and especially ICE. I never saw a person shot in the face in Iran but I saw in the US. Should we bomb US? Also, 30k dead means there would be at least some proof. Once Iran reinstated internet after protests NO VIDEOS of killings showed up. Protesters decided not to record any of the killings?!

> I'm ignorant?

Very.

I'm not gonna debate the obvious with an account with 53 karma who denies the existence of basic stuff or not aware of the obvious who wants to lash out against the west. No videos my ass. I'm not gonna be your Google, so I am out.

"Tehran oil sites on fire as Iran exchanges strikes with Israel and US – video report" You know, the usual independent and objective framing - its "Iran exchanges strikes", not "Israel and US started a war of aggression amid negotiations and bombed Tehran" or whatever

That’s a large portion of the western media across the gamut.

I am afraid that this will bring them closer together. That the people who would welcome outside world to do a magical thing that reforms Iran wont like the practical thing the world actually did. By afraid I am not saying it will happen, it is not a prediction. I think that it is a risk.

After they killed 40k+ in Jan? Perhaps.

That’s a manufactured made up number to down play the future civilian casualties from the war.

Current campaigns will kill way more iranians. Plus regime didn't bomb 200 girls to pieces in their school, did it. Thats extremely hard sell, with cherry on top when you have a literal video of tomahawks hitting that area during that time and trump claiming it was iranians who bombed it... just spits and insults in the face

> Current campaigns will kill way more iranians. Your math is not mathing. 30-40k in 2 days unarmed civilians vs I dunno 6k almost all military in a week? If you look at the stats of executions etc you'll see civilian casualties in Iran go DOWN while being bombed. > regime didn't bomb 200 girls to pieces in their school, did it. Yes, actually they did. It was their own missile. Just like the Ukrainian plane they shot…

40K death is fake news. Iran hitting their own school is fake news. Stop spreading lies. Can’t tell if it’s out of malice or ignorance though
