> Iranian media now report 40 killed and 48 students injured following the strike on a girls’ elementary school in Minab, as rescue and recovery efforts continue. Congrats America!
The Iranian Government lies as much as Trump does.

#972Re: The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
#973I recall someone (name escapes me at the moment) defining WW3 as ignition in 5 flashpoints between belligerent groupings: - Eastern Africa esp. Sudan, which we all nearly universally ignore - Israel Iran - Russia and a neighbor which we know today is Ukraine - Pakistan Afghanistan India - China Taiwan Plus Plus Attributes that distinguish WW3 from previous world wars were IIRC: Contained conflagration, short targeted…
> The revolution will be live-streamed
I disagree with you on this. The revolution will never be live-streamed because the ability to do so is gated by the same people whom the revolution seeks to overthrow.
What's being live-streamed is the evolution of the status-quo towards growing hostility, violence, wars, and indeed - fascism.
Re: The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
#974Well hopefully this is short, minimally lethal, and leads to regime change for all those involved.
> minimally lethal The US and Israel are involved. The only way it’s going to turn out is maximally lethal to all those not involved at all. See… basically any military operation participated in by those nations in recent history. We got a couple strikes and already managed to hit an elementary school. Nothing I’ve seen in Gaza or Iraq leads me to believe this will be any different.
See Israel’s take down of Hezbollah.
Re: The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
#975Many people might wonder why China doesn't step in to help Iran. From our perspective, we realized a long time ago that the Iranian government is too weak and fundamentally untrustworthy. They would sell out China's interests to curry favor with the United States, so China's cooperation with Iran is kept as free from political entanglements as possible. War is wrong, but at most China will sell some weapons—it won't…
Based on recent events, China seems to be an all-round an unreliable ally. China did nothing for Venezuela when Maduro was kidnapped by the US, did nothing for Pakistan when India conducted airstrikes on Pakistani military bases, and now is doing nothing for Iran. You guys seem more like ruthless businessmen who are in it to solely make money and nothing else, and in that regard you guys are very similar to the Americans.
Re: The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
#976Peace president ah? American terrorists never learn to mind their own business in their own country. Where are all the MAGA clowns? How exactly attacking Iran make their country great? Murdered million children in Iraq and now they started their terrorism in Iran.
I don't think this is terrorism, that's not what the word means. It's a clear and open act of war, so in many ways much worse, but somehow terrorism is a scarier word.
Murdering million children in Iraq, now attacking school in Iran, 2 million people dead in Ukraine, regime change operations across the world, military and economic interventions across the world.
English is not my first language. If you got a better word other than American terrorists and American terrorism, then suggest me one.

I had several conversations IRL about how they wouldn't vote for Kamala because she was the more "pro war" candidate. smdh
Re: The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
#979Even if you don't support US & IL standing in the frontlines against the terror regime, at least pray for the freedom of the people of Iran, 90m people held hostages by the regime. If you are pro-peace, do not be hypocrite, some wars are needed to defeat evil.
This is bad-faith rationalization. Looking at your comment history confirms that you only use HN to steer political narratives.
This might be a bad faith rationalization per your subjective humble opinion. But thank you for trying to educate me.
Re: The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
#980I am just befuddled by how much of this violence is directly motivated by religious concerns, both on the side of Iran and on the side of Israel and USA. I have been reading on the topic of shunyata or emptiness in Mahayana Buddhism, and have been uncomfortably observing just how much of the artifacts we take to be real and substantial in the world are just "made up". They don't have an inherent reality of their own…
You’re mistaking the packaging for the product. Religion is the language leaders use. Power, territory, oil corridors, regional dominance, and domestic political survival are what they’re actually fighting over. Tehran isn’t calculating missile ranges based on sutras. Washington doesn’t position carrier groups because of metaphysics. Israel’s security doctrine isn’t a meditation retreat. Spiritual narratives make cle…
That was very well said. Thank you.
