The failure of Iran’s deterrent invited a devastating regional war. Tehran wanted the benefits of a nuclear weapon without the actual weapon. It wanted the power of a regional proxy network without the discipline to husband it carefully. These contradictions compounded until the structure Iran had built for four decades gave way all at once.
Ok, this does actually have some analysis, but it rather conveniently leaves out Iran's biggest mistake: assuming the US would continue to be lead and governed by rational actors making decisions on real information.
Wanting Iran to have even greater deterrence would be a good take if it came from an anti-imperialist perspective. Instead, this is a very odd tut-tutting from people trying to blame Iran for not pushing back "enough" against the exact people who live in imperialist countries and support imperialism itself, including against Iran. The goal is to create deserving victims.
That "A" needs to be way smaller dude
"Look at what she was wearing!"
They should have built dozens of nukes 30 years ago, yes.
This is the hexbear party line, so not sure why op is upset
Me, shocked: “oh, so you are capable of deeper, granular analysis, and have been this whole time.”
You shouldn't dress that way.
Why do you make me hit you?
You shouldn't have lived where there was oil.
So what they're saying is, Iran should get nukes to effectively deter future conflict?
taps the sign If your opponent accuses you of having nukes, drop whatever you're doing and get nukes
German news has this beat, they're patting themselves on the back for technically opposing the actions of Israel and the US (not enough to not let the US use military bases in Germany, of course), while at the same time arguing the American genocidal war makes Iran the evil regime for not caring enough about its people suffering and dying to surrender
Which outlet? Tageschau, zeit, etc?
the American genocidal war makes Iran the evil regime for not caring enough about its people suffering and dying to surrender
lmao, I wonder if they feel the same way about Ukraine
Leave it to the Epstein Coalition to try to "but did you see what she was wearing?" their way out of punishment for their atrocities
Genuinely it’s a political ideology of sexual assault
Victim blaming is the time honored tradition. No matter if it's geopolitics or SV
Jokerfying, to say the least.
“It’s YOUR fault for being not as big as me! I can’t help but punch people weaker than me!”
"she should have been carrying a taser" ass discourse
Say this about Ukraine and the West loses its fucking mind, despite it actually being appropriate there. Iran has absolutely zero blame in this war.
