‘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.

    This reminds me of when Varg Vikernes was convicted of killing Euronymous. He literally turned up at Euronymous’ flat, chased him with a knife and stabbed him 23 times. His defence was “Someone told me he was going to kidnap me, and torture me to death, so it was self defence!”
