Current Affairs Iran

[toffee9]

The only ones who totally benefit from war are the billion pound profit making makers of death and destruction themselves......the arms manufacturing conglomerates.......who sell their souls to the highest bidder and who are accountable to no one.

I would never advocate a war. A war would be pointless, but we do have to limit to the maximum extent possible the influence of Iran. This is best achieved by sanctions and ensuring any facilities used to develop nuclear weapons are destroyed.

Lol, more than I thought tbf

Only 23% of American voters can identify Iran on world map

Some respondents said it was located in the U.S.

Yes, only the stable countries like America should be in control of them...cough, cough.

Sanctions don't limit the influence of Iran. All they do is make their population suffer. And numerous UN inspections have concluded there is no evidence to suggest Iran is trying to produce nuclear weapons. Even Mossad would confirm that.

Sanctions to try and get the people to revolt.

Suppose you can't start a war if you're dead.

Franz Ferdinand did.

Should have added

"I say, don't you know"

 

[peteblue]

Franz Ferdinand did.

No he didn’t, he was dead. Someone else started the war......

The Iran deal? Are we still on that? I really would like to know what people think we got out of that supposed deal?

The evidence shows that Iran, with the sanctions lifted, were able to receive resources and assurances from us that it could then mobilise to fund its geopolitical and religious fundamentalist struggles in the Middle East. We may as well have gave them a blank canvas and said paint the darkest, bloodiest and most terrifying picture you can for security. Yes, they didn't develop a nuclear weapon during this time because they were causing even more mischief than they were with that threat in the first place.

Maximum sanctions should be reimposed on Iran as soon as possible. The EU and UK I'm afraid are so out of their depth on this issue. Iran is run as a terrorist state.

We got the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. That's pretty worthwhile.

Naivety runs deep in this thread......

That doesn’t work though

Out of interest, how would you feel if Trump killed a few more Iranians now? Considering they haven't killed anyone and only fired a few warning shots. Would you think it was a bad response?

Yea I would... That would be an unnecessary escalation when their response seems like it was mostly for show. Would any answer I give please you? Because it sounds like a leading yes or no question where both answers would be insufferable to you.

Hyperbolic? I saw a plane had crashed in a place in which ballistic missiles had been fired literally hours before. Pipe down.

Because the when the information was coming out it crashed during takeoff, not two minutes after, and people were somehow bringing an apparent earthquake that happened that same day into it also. It all reeked of conspiracy theorists getting opinions out before any investigation as to what caused the crash has began. So yes, people were getting hyperbolic. Telling me to pipe down is just saying you disagree with me so don't talk. That's ridiculous child like behavior.
