The craziest thing about the new war on Iran is they don't even have any clear-cut, manufactured justification for it to give the media. They didn't even bother. (lemmygrad.ml)

'Why is the US bombing Iran?' has got to be one of the most searched prompts on google these past few days. And the closest thing to a current answer you will find is "We attacked them because they were going to have nukes and then use them on us, it's self-defense." - There is a lack of evidence for this claim btw.

That is like as if you invade someone's home, shoot and kill them and your defense in court for it is, "Your honour, I had to do it because I had suspicions they were going to adopt a guard dog and then use that guard dog to attack me while I was walking down the street!"

Blatant, mask-off imperialism. How anyone can continue to view America and Israel on the right side of history baffles me.

Marco Rubio literally explained why the US attacked Iran. He said that Israel was gonna attack Iran, and Iran was gonna retaliate against Israel and US military bases. So the US had to attack Iran first. Because Israel was gonna attack them. And it was gonna make Iran mad. So the US had to attack it…. And ……. Yeah

why did Iran build their country so close to all those US military bases?

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What military bases? I don't see any military bases

Logically, the real option would be to stop Israel then, so even that doesn't hold up.

Israel found one of the lost scriptures and actually Iran was promised to them 3000 years ago. How convenient that it was actually in Netanyahu's house the whole time!

[–] Lenins_Dumbbell@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 53 minutes ago

They actually found it in Netanyahu's restroom, reports say he actually pulled it out of his ass

I'm only surprised they aren't using the Iran killing protesters line

[–] novibe@lemmy.ml 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Right? What was even the point of manufacturing that??

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 8 hours ago

For bots/propagandists to use later.

Just like the excuse of well have you asked an Iranian if they want usa intervention before protesting???
