    Iran isn’t so much defending itself, as it is establishing consequences for the West by bombing everyone they can in the region (while still holding back to some extent).

        Yea and blocking the straight of Hormuz for ransom all the whole food production is gonna crash leading to food shortages all over the world. Both parties can be bad.

            A Palestinian child throwing a stone at an Israeli soldier and the Israeli soldier shooting the child 355 times are both equally bad /s

          They’re blocking the strait of Hormuz as much as us and Canada block st Lawrence Seaway. You pay a toll and you’re allowed to go. Unless you’re a country bombing them, in that case, your ship gets bombed.

          Only if there are invaders that are housed there because their bases got blown up.
          If those hotels in those vassal countries allow them to be there it’s their fault and a legitimate target.
          Targetting the bootlicker hotels and invaders is a win-win.

          Luxury hotels where US soldiers are hiding.

          Fossil fuel facilities are military targets because why else would the US bomb Iranian oil fields?

        thanks for pointing that out, it’s really crazy this reverse newspeak when they tell you the definition for a verb to deny it

        damn who would think the consequences for their actions would be retaliation???
