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.

After witnessing what Iran is doing to Israel and US, I don't think anyone in the US administration would be stupid enough to pick a fight with China.

I don't think even the US at its absolute military prime can win a war of attrition against current China. China's production base is literally just leagues ahead of anything thr world has ever seen. They're not even in a war time production mode and still out producing the fuck out of NATO combined. Imagine what they can do if they are in a war.
