i don't recall the son being gyatted up

They are! The other countries are so far down on the graph they are not visible

I was too young. I realize i'm probably splitting hairs. The differences b/w both situations feel large enough that lazily conflating the two feels incorrect, even though they are certainly similar enough to compare.

Trump is somehow a more stupid, meaner W. There's no 9/11 he can use to whip up nationalistic frenzy. Israel has aggressed first & is trying to drag the world into a conflict that's already hugely unpopular. Maybe I'm hoping Middle East War # gazillion evaporates as US interest does. I'm hoping this conflict is dissimilar enough from Iraq to turn out differently, and for us to have learned something in the interceding 20+ years

Totally agree! This situation is unbelievably stupid

The whole crux of the post is about this idk, I guess I do. Sorry that upset you - genuinely just discussing

didn't the UN find that they were enriching uranium past what was required for nuclear power, which indicates they're enriching it for nuclear weapons? To my knowledge this is the first time in something like 20 years that this has happened

to be clear, fuck israel for this escalation and their horrific genocide. There is no justification even if Iran had a fleet of WMDs.

I'm genuinely not sure how similar Iraq is to this

bad bean muzzle discipline

it's a british/bbc-ism I learned the last time I saw a headline like this
