They just triggered another 20 years of terrorism
The other person already pointed this out, but resistance against foreign occupation isn't terrorism no matter how much Western governments want it to be.
A good point that the US leaves behind constantly.
Here's another one any action in the middl east always prompts a response from multiple other sources regardless of the territory or regime targeted.
Iran itself has spent decades building networks of foreign fighters who would be classed as terrorists.
It's own soldiers have been caught sponsoring and training these people with the intent to attack and destabilise countries in the west.
I do not agree with the aggression from Israel or the US but do not ever paint Iran as a saint of a country.
"terrorism"
When people don't want to be slaughtered and have their resources stolen by imperial invaders it is "terrorism". When the same invaders are doing their invasions, mass murder civilians, threaten total annihilation and the like, it is "security" or "bringing democracy"...
It can be a just cause and terrorism at the same time.
For example, Nelson Mandela and others used textbook terroristic tactics to defeat the SA Apartheid regime, making them terrorists.
Whether or not the objectively just ends justify the means in the cases of South Africa, Palestine, and other oppressed is separate from whether or not the means qualify as terrorism.
For the record, I don't personally believe that terrorism is justified when there's any other way to fight back against your oppression, but am with you in not condemning the oppressed when there isn't.
Also, the military actions of Israel and the US in the Middle East are themselves textbook cases of state terrorism, which this will ALSO be an increase of.
Hurrah cheap oil! /s
The US really likes to hang about there huh
They get to control a resource rich region AND bomb Muslims and/or brown people. Win / win for the sickest fucks among us.
Will genocide and pillaging always be in the heart of the Western man? Can't we move past it already? 😔
I have to appreciate Trump for one thing: at least this time it's not The West that is at war with the Middle East.
The UK already applauded his attack. Given how Germany acted so far, i expect them to follow suit. While urging to go back to diplomacy and restraint the EU speaker also first said, Iran must not have nuclear weapons, while not saying that countries shouldn't just bomb other countries, whenever they feel like it.
Can’t wait to watch Argo 2
