Blast rocks Tehran after Israel threatened to target area where pro-government rally was being held

For as much as western powers fetishize WW2, you'd think they'd understand this. The bombing of England famously rallied support for the UK government even though they were largely powerless to stop the blitz, but the people running American wars for the last 50 years, from Korea to Iran, seem to think that if we just bomb people hard enough, they'll learn to hate their government and love the people bombing them.

And 10 years of bombing Iraq prior to the invasion.

There's only one way to increase the profits of the companies you've invested in that makes bombs: use up the bombs you have so you can buy more.

Too Many double negatives there to know what you were trying to say.

I think it’s like 2000 times according to the US gov

I’m not sure what you mean. Why did Iran need to accept terms for peace when this war wasn’t started by them? Negotiate for what? The entire planet knows the USA can’t be trusted. Who would try Trump for treason when he already consolidated the 3 branches of government? Any republican congressmen aside from like 2 of them are on his side and the rest of them have had enough death threats to vote along party lines anyways. Kash Patel would arrest him?

“Civilians, leave the area of this planned military operation” is a Geneva Convention obligation, to protect civilians. It’s also a threat against the targeted military personnel, who are not civilians. I wouldn’t say this isn’t a threat, but pretty clearly the goal of this message was to tell civilians not to be near the bombs. Iran is at war. Its military leaders shouldn’t be doing public events with civilians at this time. They also shouldn’t turn off the Internet. Oh and they shouldn’t have killed 30,000 civilians at protests last month, while I’m making a list. I’m not even a big defender of Israel but they’re literally just discharging their obligation to protect civilians here. If Iran gave a shit about the civilians they would’ve canceled the rally.

Semantics matter in a war where all the sides are huge fuckin’ liars. AP should use language that is less slanted.

They thought it was a low percentage likelihood of occurring because they thought it would be all over in three days. There was little to no thinking about this particular attack because Donald ordered "attack now" in the middle of a conversation with Netanyahu .. He then amused himself in the loo, we dont know if he took his cellphone with him.

So whats his bad points? :)

Been a while since I was a teenage WWII nerd but iirc by the time b-29s could reach Japan the US was dominating. Some individual fire bombing raids killed over 100,000 people. That's more than either of the two nukes killed. The underlying theory behind carpet bombing of cities was based on a white paper by one guy during the intra-war period. He surmised there was a formula for tons of bombs dropped per square mile of city that would result in the enemy surrender. Look up "the bomber will always get through." The premise was sound, that the enemy can always spam more bombers than you can shoot down. So theoretically no where was safe, anywhere can be bombed. But the conclusions drawn from it were bunk. I don't think that kind of suffering was worth it.

Exactly. You made the entire populace into combatants because they grew food that ended up in a soldier’s meal. They were “the enemy,” so their lives were meaningless. But to pretend that it was just because some civilian in Japan could work in a factory that justified killing those who didn’t is insane. And even “our” military leaders commanding those strikes didn’t think that. They specifically wanted to immiserate the entire population irrespective of what they did for the war effort.

It’s hard to have a conversation when you block anyone who tries to discuss anything with you, champ

I'm talking about the deliberate targeting and murder of civilians. Yes, people were tried, convicted and hanged at Nuremburg for murdering civilians. The method (bombs or otherwise) is your way of deflecting from the fact that these are war crimes that any ethical society should punish the perpetrators of.

Keep in mind, both sides targeted civilians for military, not ideological reasons. They bombed civilians because those civilians were working in factories assisting their government’s war effort.

I do. I also remember that the people who did it are dead, along with their countrymen in a genocide.  Also, that was a *raid* not an *invasion*. Very different things.
