I don't know the game at all. Im just unsure why you have the need to resort to attacking posters who correct you despite saying that's what they should be doing. Kind of proves the point that original poster was making.

It looks like ww3 might erupt in here with all these skirmishes.
Helen Clarke has come out anti US and pro Iran.
I dunno, I quite like it. Differing opinions, good links to stuff on both sides, sometimes gets a bit personal but mostly pretty good. Don't agree with a lot of posters but generally it's pretty civil.
Touched a nerve?
‘Clark said that the absence of an imminent threat to either the United States or Israel meant the attacks on Iran are illegal.
“The Iranian regime is a vicious theocracy which has caused huge trauma to its people. But that isn’t a reason for a breach of Iran’s sovereignty.”
So which side a YOU on?

Actually Wiz, Clarkes part of the UN now, so as far as Israel and the US are conscerned, UN are part of the problem so just ignore them ... carry on til victory is achieved... free the Iranian people from the Islamic regime who "illegally" usurped control of Iran in the first place...Get a grip bro!

I'm on Aunty Helen's side on this one. She didn't say she is anti-American or anti-Isreal. She said they are wrong on this, and I agree that they are.
If this attack was about Iran's nuclear capability, wasn't that "obliterated" by the US recently? If this is about US and Isreal worried about the safety of Iranian citizens who were protesting, what about US govt's treatment of their own citizens like Alex Pretti who were protesting? And why couldn't the US just swoop in and arrest the Ayatollah like they did with Maduro?
I've been to Israel and I lived in UAE for nearly a decade. I have met amazing people in both places. I don't want 100+ school girls killed like today.

Oh come on. Free the Iranian people?
What's the plan here if you aren't putting boots on the ground to run elections? Hope that someone nice takes over from the current regime?
Its now shown Iran has no significant defensive capabilities that can stop US/Israel's stand off weapons. Already 15-40 of the regimes most authoritarian leaders have been killed. At some point you would have to assume pragmatism and self preservation would win out.
Or alternatively the argument is that a good percentage of Iranians are irredeemable. Which I dont believe is the case
I'm beginning to wonder if you need to freed from you own idealistic beliefs.. Seems like you dont care that this reigime murdered 30k plus of its own unarmed people in the last few weeks... and yes its facts... and dont go on about Palestine 70% of the loss of life was Hamas...Oh come on. Free the Iranian people?
Iran and Venezuela were heavily linked

Our experts break down Iran’s ties to Venezuela and the impact Maduro’s capture could have on Tehran’s interests in and outside of its own borders.

Fuck me you're a hallucinating borg. Sorry mate, you and Frank deserve each other. 70% Hamas is outright bullshit. Regime change in Iran for the Iranian people? Delusional.
Next thing you'll be telling me that Putin's the victim in all of this and Covid wasn't real, they made up the jab to control you.
Nah Xi is probably the biggest loser today apart from Khameni and his half family
Notice How Israel’s Banks aren’t controlled by the Rothschilds…hmm
Multiple strikes being reported / recorded in Dubai.
Iran has been attacked by US and Israel when peace was within reach
It appeared that diplomacy was working, but the strikes by the US and Israel now risk destroying any chance of a peaceful resolution of this crisis.
