Republicunts are split between 'let's bomb Iran to stone age' and 'let's try to avoid this war'. Amazing conundrum to be in.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Same with democrats. How many democratic leader celeberated the attack?
Neither Obama nor Biden bombed Iran though.
Many democrats leaders still celebrated israel attacking iran.
Neither Obama nor Biden bombed Iran though.
I didn't claim that they did. You just try to deflect from the fact that in democratic party leadership there is leaders who support republicans and trump when it come to foreign policies excluding the policies about Ukraine
I’m trying to show you the difference with an easy to understand example.
You’re being condescending and stupid which is a funny combo
You started by talking about republicans in general and when i talked about how democrats are devided with many supporting the war on iran thst israel and trump started you deflected by talking about presidents
I don’t know what you’re talking about my first comment was neither Obama nor Biden bombed Iran though.
Sorry i mistaken you for the other person that I reply to. I also talked with the other guy about republicans vs democrats and not Trump vs Biden and Obama.
That's irrelevant...
yeah they are truly peace loving hero's by only bombing yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, libya and syria. true heros!
i actually believe i left out some places too
Russian asset. They've been backing Iran from the start.
Are we going to see how advanced shopping centers are in Iran? 🤣
I bet they even have bread! Amazing bread!
*sniffs it like it's primo Columbian marching powder*
Do you think Tucker will ask if he knows the population of Israel?
.ml users: visible confusion
Why does it have to be him? Couldn't there be one dove in the "liberal" main stream media asking those questions, rather than manufacturing consent for endless war?
He follows Putins orders, he's a part of the ruZZian media arm in America. You know.. a god damn traitor, that needs a new neck tie.
That makes sense. It's funny how people have forgotten the women's protests of a few years ago and are quick to jump to Iran's defense. They may not be the aggressors but as a country they aren't innocent. They have their problems. Russia trying to get their hegemony makes sense.
Nobody was defending Iran reigious autocracy, just iran right to self defense against the agressor. Israel killed 137 women in 12 days. How many civilians was you ready to sacrifice for a regime change to be replaced by a puppet regime? Saudis are as bad as iran would you have supported bombing them?
Yeah, bombing Iran has nothing to do whatsoever with human rights. It's all about Israel's interest and whoever else shares it. If we cared about human rights and couped governments for that, we'd be all up in the Gulf's ass, Israel's (because of Gaza, West Bank), among others. Even if that was the goal, history informs us that the chances of a government that's better for human rights is less likely than a worse one. Some Zionist acquaintances took a week of glorifying Israel's "victory" in Iran, before turning around to shit on Gulf countries and China for their human rights abuses. I'm so done with this shit..
I didn't have a point in my statement. You and everyone else can take it easy with the geoploiticing. I'm aware that generally there isn't anyone completely in the right in the middle east. I was just pointing out how interesting it is that I was condemning Iran not two years ago and wanting a regime change and now Isreal is picking this fight. I was tempering my own mental reaction. Things move fast and we forget things. A western puppet gov in iran might actually be good for its people. I just dont think the US should put troops on the ground. We all sit behind a screen and talk into the void picking sides and arguing about this and that but for now, it amounts to nothing.
In the opposite words of someone much dumber than us, there are bad people on both sides
Yeah it's too bad the phrase "both sides" has become another trigger term for people. You legitimately can't say anything anymore. Tribalism is a real problem online. You used to be able to have opinions that differered from other people. On principle I understand wanting to advocate for human rights. But bad actors have turned what should be a forum for discussion into what amounts to a binary rap battle. It's online gang warfare that's been cultivated to stop communication and growth. It's gross. Life is complicated and we can't always be right but we can always try our best.
Netanyahu has been publicly embracing these protests. I think in the current climate nothing is more deligitmizing for a civil and human rights movement than having the genocidal imperialist mass murderer Netanyahu on your side.
The problem is that any protest movement in Iran is probably also under the influence of foreign interests.
At the same time people claiming Tucker Carlson to just be doing whatever Russia tells him falls short on the positions of MAGA as a movement. MAGA doesnt want another endless war in the Middle East. It makes sense for them to challenge the hawkish and zionist American mainstream media that is replaying the Iraq era propaganda to manufacture consent for the US to go to war for Israel.
This doesn't need an order from Russia. Subsequently it is a logical strategy for Zionist propagandists to emphasize the connections between Carlson and Russia in order to delegitimize the vary notion, that Americans could be tired of having their oligarchy tell them who are the good and the bad guys.
What are your proofs?
"Man caught murdering dog"
You: "where's your proof he did it"
You know rhetoric, damn if I know how to respond to you.
Republicans are more pro israel.This could help the palestinian cause .While Carlson is russian puppet, it is irelevant in the topic of iran
Liberals are the second biggest warmongers after the neocons
Finally, the much anticipated sequel to the interview
