      They get to control a resource rich region AND bomb Muslims and/or brown people. Win / win for the sickest fucks among us.

        Problem is that as they will get bogged down, they will probably have to sacrifice Ukraine to Russia and South East Asia to China.

        From a strategic point of view, this will turn out as a huge failure for the US.

      “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”…

        I mean they did hijack planes and flew them into office buildings, killing a ton of civilians. It’s not a reach to call that terrorism lol

      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.

      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.
