☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆UK regime joins the unprovoked war of aggression against Iran
BananaTrifleViolinThat’s misrepresenting things. He’s said british planes have been in the air protecting british air bases and personnel. They UK has not been involved in the strikes on Iran.
Starmer’s rhetoric however is aggressive, blaming this entirely on Iran when the US and Israel have decided to attack Iran. I’m no fan of Iran’s regime, but I’m not a fan of countries unilaterally attacking other countries, and Starmer is being a hypocrite given he usually talks so much about “international law” but is not condemning Israel and US aggression.
The tankie down vote train has arrived for a quite reasonable take 😂
We all know Israel and US have launched unprovoked strikes thinly veiled as “preemptive” (Christ what horseshit). The axis of evil continues unpunished.
And calling Iran’s retaliations as “indiscriminate” and that they have no right to retaliate is completely absurd.
I am completely confident in my stance that unprovoked attacks are bad, and even handed and equivalent retaliation is unfortunately necessary (the death toll of which is on the hands of the original attacker). Similarly, I can be happy that Ali Khamenei is gone, despite the abhorrent illegality of his murder.
As a child I could see that the Iraq war was horribly illegal and unjustified, in the same way the Invasion of Ukraine in 22 was an unjustified escalation of the Ukrainian civil war.
Fuck imperialism in any form. Fuck murderers. Fuck repressive dictators.
