And so we are getting progressively sucked into the US/Israeli ignited war with Iran; and forget the idea these will only be used fro defensive deployments & flights.

Any addition to defensive capabilities frees up other military assets for further attacks.

The UK is now (whatever Keir Starmer says & the Tangerine Tyrant companies about) taking part in the war on Iran.

I'll be clear: NOT IN MY NAME

Whatever I may think about Iran this is not the way forward!

@rozeboosje @hakona @JakeKb @benroyce @roger @Netraven @mcnado There is a quote from Napoleon of all folks that is apt here. Napoleon once ordered trees planted on French roads to shade his troops marching off to his wars. He was told the trees would not grow to maturity anytime soon, his response was "then we must start at once!"
'No, That Is Not Your Job,' Say Critics After Schumer Claims 'Job' Is to 'Fight for Aid to Israel' | Common Dreams

"Seventy-five percent of Democratic voters oppose sending Israel more military aid, as do 66% of independents and 60% of Americans overall," noted one domestic policy expert.

Nothing gives Israel a special right to invade neighbors, bulldoze their homes, and create a DMZ.

US voters must make anyone supporting the Israeli state unelectable until support for this bullshit stops.

An Israeli academic, Orit Perlov, posted a tweet in Hebrew, later deleted, in which she argued that confronting Iran requires a harsh religious approach targeting Iranian children, citing biblical references to the killing of newborns.

She claimed similar tactics were previously applied in Gaza, where over 14,000 children were killed according to UN statistics, and suggested applying the same model in Iran and Lebanon. She also stated that instead of targeting power stations, if top Iranian officials cannot be reached, their children should be killed.

This hardly seems fair

To those upset about bombing Iran: You’re upset about bombing a nation who refuses to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, is hiding 200-400 nukes, blocks UN inspectors, & hides their nuclear facility behind human shields in a residential area?

You’re upset about taking out such a threat?

Ok—well everything stated above is true of Israel—not Iran. Remember that as you hear faux outrage about Iran defending itself from Israel’s illegal attack by targeting Israel’s illegal nuclear program.

@EUCommission and where is your condamnation for schools, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, hospitals, dessalinization plants and other vital civilian infrastructure being "obliterated" right now? Where is your condamnation of genocide being committed right now? Of illegal sieges affecting entire populations right now? Keep on going, and then whine about Greenland and the dismantling of the EU.
