This is pretty much what I expect. They want to show they're angry so they lob some missiles, which they know have very little chance of doing anything, so they can say they did it. Unless something gets hit and there are more than a few casualties, it's just a show, in my opinion.
In the hyper specific instance, Iran just yesterday made a failairly de-escalatory gesture when Khamenei implied that Iran would not directly retaliate for Nasrallah’s killing and would instead let it's proxy Hezbollah respond.
you threw out the "colonialism" trope but ignore history. carry on.
Got it. Thanks a ton for this response- very insightful. I appreciate you.
Lebanon, Syria, and Iran have also bombed Israel in the past few years. I find it interesting that you always seem to be quick to justify the actions of whatever entity (or terrorist group) is attacking Israel.
Without a doubt, but religious freaks will always deflect the atrocities associated with all these stupid power and mind controlling organized religions.
I'm sensing from you an assumption that culture is epiphenomenal. You see every topic through the lens of class struggle or at least economic factors. I mean, fair enough. There's a long, long intellectual tradition. But it's also an assumption on your part that is just sometimes hard to square with reality.
In 2024, wanting mass quantities of people to die because they don’t believe a certain way to only tied to one extreme of one religion.
Which religion is that? Buddhism in Burma and Sri Lanka? Orthodox Christianity in Russia? Hindu fundamentalists in India? Evangelical Protestants in America?
Too bad General Westmoreland isn't still around to advise him
True that. Amazing really. They've had iron dome for a while which shoots down rockets from surrounding countries. Basically artillery. But shooting down ballistic missiles is a whole different kettle of fish.
Good grief, gt. Did you double post this response when you saw your identical post ended up being the last post on the previous page?
Yep. My bad
