Satellite imagery taken after the US strike on Iran’s Fordow site showed smoke rising from the fuel enrichment plant. US President Donald Trump claimed key Iranian nuclear sites had been “obliterated,” while Iran claimed it had removed nuclear material from the sites before the strikes.

    Unless you think about it of course, then you realize in reality actually only one country and its client-state currently goes around bombing other countries it doesn’t even border and slaughtering civilians while celebrating it as “national security”, and that’s the US (and Israel, literal Jewish ISIS).

        I will say this for Russia: they restrict their indiscriminate bombing and terrorism mostly to countries they actually border. I don’t know if that makes it any better, because it does mean they’re occupying a big part of another country and abducting or massacring parts of their population with the explicit intent of genocide, but at least it’s only regional instead of global.

          Only because they don’t have the resources to go further. And considering they span like half the globe only attacking countries they border isn’t as small-scale as it sounds.

      Which country will take America’s place when it falls? America is not the first and while history may not repeat, it often echoes and they won’t be the last.

      Look to all the European fuckery that set up many of these conflicts in the Middle East and Africa.

      The UK, France, Belgium, etc. all have extremely bloody pasts around the world.
