I'm a bit conflicted about it as well because I don't want a single fucking dime going to the IRGC.

On the other hand we cannot concede the strait of Hormuz to them.

On the other other hand, obviously a dumb war to have and fuck Israel for taking advantage of it.

Where you conflicted when two Nazi states destroyed much more than $300bn and killed a lot of civilians including children in an illegal offensive war, though?

Are you referring to when the USSR and Nazi Germany invaded poland together, or...?

Jokes aside I think Trump is an incompetent buffoon who has only helped the IRGC hold power. The smart play would have been arming and empowering the rebels with food and medical supplies.

Compelling counterargument, let's see if it works.

He blame palestinians and iran for the genocide israel is doing. He is a zionazi and he advocate for a civil war

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 2 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Israel's many crimes, which should be immediately stopped, do not forgive Iran's.

Which part of the genocide convention can be used to say Iran and hamas are responsible for the genocide Israel is comiting with the usa and the west weapons and money?

Because that never went horribly wrong before, right ?

Indeed, didn't the Orange even sent Kurds the weapons for Iran resistance only for Kurds to keep them?

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I believe that was also after the kurds got betrayed a few times too.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And in fact part of thatwas due to Trump favoring yet another dictator scumbag Erdogan of Turkey who waged war on the Kurds.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 3 months ago

Oh didn't know that.

It couldn't go worse than continued IRGC rule.

A while back Tankie complained to me about taking Ghadafi out (which is kind of the same problematic tactic of not supporting a resistance capable of replacing them) because now Libya is stuck an anarchy with human slavery...

But the thing is, Ghadafi started the human slavery trade in Libya.

Couldn't go worse? Pinochet, Branco and all the other dictatorships the US put in place would like a word. America helped the Mujahedeen, which led to the Taliban, Al Qaeda and ISIS for fuck's sake. They are magnitudes worse than the Islamic Republic, it's not even close.

How are the families of our victims compensated and the infrastructure we destroyed supposed to be rebuilt?

I don't want a single fucking dime going to the IRGC.

This isn't a pay-out: it's reparations for wanton destruction via sloppy bombing.

  1. Keep in mind it's not a dime they're getting, but a dime they're getting back.
  2. Regardless of how we feel about the regime, the just decision is reparations (and a war crime tribunal) since this is about who we are and not about whom they are. Unfortunately, human rights is the baseline for interaction that extends to terrible people just like good people because they're people.

Everything that happened to the IRGC themselves was deserved. While I think the Iranian citizens need some aid to build back hospitals and civilian targets struck by the malicious Israelis and incompetent Trump admin, I don't have the confidence that it will be properly allocated to them by the corrupt and brutal IRGC, nor should we allow the IRGC to take credit for any such reconstruction because it will inevitably lead more violence and destruction down the road.
