Does the US really want to play this game? 90% of Israel’s water comes from desalination plants, and now we’ve given Iran the justification to strike back in a similar manner.
Hitting critical civilian infrastructure like schools, hospitals and desalination plants are all war crimes. As are double tap strikes where you bomb the same place later to kill aid workers. I imagine Israel asked the US to join in Israels ongoing campaign of war crimes so they dont have to be alone in that. When the US whitewashes its crimes in a few years I suppose Israel will hope to blame the US for all of their years of war crimninaity and sleeze their way out of their own accountability.
Few acts say “crimes against humanity” better than bombing a country’s water supply.
There’s a certain dam in Iraq which could have been targeted at any point during the Iran-Iraq war. Doing so would have guaranteed ended the war in Iran’s favor, killing hundreds of thousands of people in a single act in the process.
Some things are not worth doing. Winning like that is not winning.
Ah yes, desalination plants - the top priority military targets when invading a country to free its people.
They also made a wise decision preemptively taking out the elementary schoolgirls.
More dangerous than even Khammaaazzz!
Iran, contact me if you’re ever somehow able to start targeting the US mainland.
I’ll adjust your fire.
Conventions on war crimes are a mutual agreement on restraints both parties place on themselves. They work, as long as neither party wants to lose face or support by being the one to break their word, and as long as both parties can afford to.
Trump never gave a shit about keeping his own word, let alone anyone else’s.
I’m not sure Iran can afford to keep theirs now.
He is actively hoping for retaliatory action from literally anyone so he can justify calling for martial law and suspending the constitution.
and the democratic party establishment will actively oppose him, saying “just wait and see until you lift martial law, we’ll vote you out so bad, and then keep sending money and weapons to israel just like you did”.
Finger wagging intensifies
These don’t work when the aggressor has not civilian infrastructure in the region. gulf monarchies gonna find out why you dont let other countries occupy your territory.
Attacking desalination plants is not a front the US wants to open. Another horribly idiotic strategic decision by the burger reich. Iran is 3% dependent on desalination, meanwhile US vassals in the region are at 40-90%.
Looks like the vassal states are abandoning their US masters.
Just as the US is running from every base there.As an Iranian, I hope that Iran can show restraint here. Please do not target desalination plants, and be mindful when attacking power plants in the Gulf region. These countries are extremely weak and fragile, power outages and water shortages could cause massive widespread suffering that I wish upon no-one.
With that said, pipelines in KSA and Azerbaijan should probably get a visit from a 136 as soon as possible.
Still illegal, still monstrous.
oh absolutely, it’s a war crime plain and simple
I thought we arent supposed to hurt civilians in a war according to international laws but yelp it is indirect and also US is above all those things
The palestinian genocide made it clear that international law doesn’t apply to USrael.
And this nazi genocider bootlicker isn’t the only one.
Shame on the EU too. Mask offOh that’s because this isn’t a war. I mean come on learn the difference.
Since it isn’t a war there are less rules and we ( the USA) can just do as we please with no repercussions at all. None at all.
Oh my bad, i think i read the wrong definition of war. It is a special defensive military operation.
Is it a special military operation?
yes /s
Fucking shitters. There is no rock bottom.
Nothing Says “Trump Rapes Children” like…checks notes…“War crimes!”
a bit weird how the beacon of democracy will bomb schoolchildren and water supplies for the population, but the regime terrorists are only striking military facilities and infrastructure so far 🤔
And even weirder that EU condemns Iran’s attacks and not USA’s. Only Spain had some dignity, the rest are crap.
Get a load of this nazi, Kallas and other bootlickers say the same, mask off

beacon of democracy? when was that? it was always a shitty racist money first country from the beginning
The US briefly tried out democracy during Reconstruction but the white terrorists quickly defeated that experiment.
beacon of democracy? when was that?
They should have put that phrase in quotation marks.
Just because the US calls themselves that doesn’t make it true.
We can already ascertain (I trust certain sources) that the US has likely lost more military personnel than the Iranians, to say nothing of the trade in production (including trade war limits making some hardware functionally irreplacable), cost, depletion of stockpiles, economic leverage of the strikes. They’re really “smoking 'em while they’ve got 'em” since the Mossad network and Starlink strategy collapsed. Seems like they lost hope.
If anything this attack could be one last stab to slow the development of Iran, which is intruding into very high tech industries dominated by the US and western Europe, such as pharmaceuticals and even nuclear fusion in due time.
The west fears having to unleash the power of certified genius women (and men, but it’s much more pronounced how their talents benefit Iranian industrial capacity and affect this war, they are a huge driver of the missile program) the way Iran and China have. Girlbossing and slaying is more about inflating the size of the high value service industry.
The future is bright, actually. Our horizons were limited. I think humanity will become something unrecognizable. One day all people will understand death on their own terms, without metaphor. Do not fear the genius women. Sexual selection is the reason we aren’t scraping bugs out of tree bark. This will be even better.
I want to believe in this so I will
You mean there same country that vaporized two cities’ worth of civilians?
Weak virtue signaling, real chuds know the firebombs were worse.
Yeah, firebombing of Japanese towns and cities was more atrocious given the majority of housing materials. As well easier for the USA to do at that time.
They had a satisfactory rehearsal in Dresden before that.
Really makes ya think.
hmmmmmmmmm 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
The strikes against Qatar and UAE are hardly military in purpose though…
Couldn’t be more military.
Took out US radars and equipment and troops and made them run from their bases.
And just now S.Arabia too:Lots of the collateral damage affected plenty of civilians then. I must admit I’ve saw so much about that aspect that I assumed it was intended.
IDK about civilians.
I do know Iran doesn’t target civilians.
But also that the US military nearly completely abandoned their bases in those countries.
They got housed in ‘civilian’ hotels, appartements, etc in those countries.
If you’ve seen so many videos you surely saw the american filming from a flat right? Same happens in ukraine where the news was complaining evil Russia hit a civilian hotel and so many innocent civilians.
While the videos show victims carried away in uniform and 2 days later the ukro army fires the guy responsible for holding a military meeting so close to the frontline. Military using civilian infrastructure makes them a legitimate target.
Iran has very good intel on where they are since the population doesn’t see them as enemies unlike their sell-out governments.
If anything, it’s another warcrime by the US since they shouldn’t put military targets among civilians.
they targeted US bases and equipment in qatar and UAE
Lots of collateral damage then
if the usa didn’t want collateral damage to their allies, they shouldn’t have started a sudden war yet again.
The usa shouldn’t have started this war, for sure, but that’s a pretty heartless statement.
i wish the world was that just. the attacker is blowing up your water supply and you have the right to defend yourself.
Or put military bases and equipment there to begin with
“We are going to help Iranians with their water problems which are caused by their governent!”
Bombs desalination plant
The decade of war crimes
THe US existed much earlier
century*
consequences of letting Israel get away with all their war crimes. they are now normalized.
finally the US is safe from Iranian unsalted water! mission accomplished Orange man
Destroying critical infrastructure like that is a terrible idea. Like, I hate this war, fuck Israel and Trump/GQP but if you’re invading somewhere, you don’t want that infrastructure damaged/destroyed for your own use.
It’s clear their plan is to destroy the region and make it a warzone like Libya.
Following Israeli war tactics. Just destroy it all.
Nobody is invading
Are they trying to invade with the purpose of taking over? I know it sounds stupid, but I consider this all a distraction from the Epstein files. I think they just want to take shots at somebody for a distraction and then leave a mess. It’s the billionaire way.
USSA has been terrorizing Iran long before anyone knew who Epstein was.
That whole cancer country is to blame.Fuck off, thousands of people are dead this is not a ‘distraction’ its peoples lives.
You fuck off. I was putting myself in the rapist president’s mindset. Not speaking from my own heart about the totality of the horror of the situation.
It literally is a distraction. And your outrage at that is exactly parent poster’s point.
The Republican Apparatus (and Conservatives around the world, for that matter) have discovered that they can continuously manufacture new outrage to distract from the actual policies they care about.
With the Tea Party, a couple of decades ago, they mastered weaponized wedge issues to distract. (The “War on Terror” was a manufactured war, and that strategy goes back decades.) But they have since escalated to crimes against humanity.
And it’s working. I haven’t seen many headlines about ICE or Epstein recently because the average American is bored of hearing about it.
Meanwhile, they are enacting policies to further concentrate wealth and power amongst the 0.1%.
I haven’t seen many headlines about ICE or Epstein recently because the average American is bored of hearing about it.
Or more burnt out than bored maybe.
From a US military perspective, this is actually perfectly in line with standard procedure. Holding ground, especially ground so far away, is costly and difficult. So the new strategy these last 15 years has just been to destroy civic infrastructure and collapse the state. It removes a country’s ability to resist resource extraction, it creates a long-term “frontier” combat zone that’s highly profitable for arms companies, and it serves as a petri dish for incubating new proxy forces to be used later, either as goons or scapegoats (or both).
Yup, very well put. The whole “freedom and democracy for the iranian people” speech is just there to keep up appearances, the goal has always been to turn Iran into Libya. Like i havent heard a single mention of Libya in mainstream media in decades.
It removes a country’s ability to resist resource extraction
i’d say resource extraction requires political stability, actually, since mining sites are big and difficult to defend and also immobile, so they can’t just be moved out of the way when there’s danger. and also the long transport lines for minerals are long and therefore difficult to protect.
That low level of area-specific stability can be achieved with proxy forces or mercenaries guarding corporate facilities
i don’t think so
Okay
the only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they’re gonna live.
