Hooray more death, that'll fix things.

[kasrak]

Do you have a suggestion for a plausible alternative that can stop the IR government from continuing to murder thousands of its own people?

[pineaux]

It's not about the Iranian government killing its own. Then we should have seen a lot more interventions. It's about oil and regional power. The US wants that the region is in hands of their allies and Iran threatens this.

[JumpCrisscross]

Yes. Iran’s territory includes ethnic minorities that could be joined to its neighbors, neighbours who are less brutal. Starting there might be a good first step since we’re now firmly back into redrawing borders with force.

[delusional]

I can accept that I don't have any better alternative while while not exactly being consoled.

And billions spent on weapons that could be healthcare…

[learingsci]

Sometimes it does though, eg Hiroshima.

[delecti]

There's good reason to believe that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were essentially technical demonstrations warning the soviets, given the clearly imminent end of the war, to not start anything with us. There were already signs of a Japanese desire for surrender.

[pineaux]

Probably the worst example, because Japan was probably going to surrender anyways.

[didntfixathing]

Hiroshima didn’t fix anything because they dropped another on Nagasaki.

Furthermore they could have only destroyed only one city if Hiroshima had been an at sea demonstration instead, maybe even destroy zero cities.

Hooray genocide.
