    While Iran is run by a terrible regime, their demands from America (and the West in general) are 100% fair and just with the exception of the part about Hormuz. The West has no business deciding how Iran is governed, and Western aggression hasn’t exactly made Iran a better place to live anyway.

      We don’t disagree on those points, technically, even genocide is an “internal affair” if done within the own borders - just that if the UN were to function properly, and less toothless, we’d have a UN blue helmet force that could act upon such major events. Problem is when to declare an uprising against a government (and violent crackdown on protestors) as something requiring UN intervention, especially with all members of the UN having their own agenda :(

        if the UN were to function properly

        The whole point of the UN is to prevent WW3. Its primary purpose is to provide a forum for nations to talk to each other and thus prevent or shorten those wars which can be prevented or shortened by talking.

        Everything else the UN does is just “well, since we have this forum anyway…” extras.

        ~I say this as a big fan of the UN and international cooperation who is a bigger hater if dying in either nuclear hellfire or repeating the stupidity that launched WW1 and WW2~

          I suppose I was optimistic enough 10 years ago to set my eyes on what you call “extras” and now I am about as disappointed again as I was when the Rwandan genocide was allowed to happen.

            Surely you know precisely what I’m referring to.

            I didn’t want to assume that you were unashamedly calling for war crimes, but thank you for spelling it out and removing all doubt. What you are hoping for is morally reprehensible.

            You’re disgusting.

            Hoping someone nukes literally millions of people is an obvious moral failure.

              Aren’t you ever curious about what an enemy soldier inhaling F2 looks like? You won’t find stuff like that on r/combatfootage these days.

              There are so many toxins we have little information on due to lack of testing. F2, H2Se, HN3, H3AsO3, H2SeO4, BeBr2, F2O2, ClF3, CH2F2, Cd(CH3)2. Iran can solve this problem for us.

                Dude, on the off chance that you’re not just a stupid 14 year old troll:

                No, I am not curious.

                First of all, we have a lot of information on those toxins. Read a fucking MSDS if yoy want actual “information” If you just want to watch people suffer, you need to get some serious psychological help you fucking psycho.
