Syria project was to topple a secular Iran allied government with any other alternative which ended up being ISIS because Israel wanted it and they control the government, mainstream media and have passed laws at state and federal levels so you can’t even criticize them


Doesn’t matter. Once bombs start hitting next to you, you rally around the flag


No, Iran started helping the US against Taliban only to be put on the axis of evil list by Bush. Signed a deal with the US only to be torn and Trump placed maximum pressure.

US foreign policy in the Middle East is run by Israel.

Iran is foolish to have not yet built their nuke.


You somehow blame Iran for a war Israel started, twice. Do you even believe what you’re spreading?


HN really should cut people who actually live the Middle East a little slack when it comes to comments about the Middle East. They seem to be the first to be downvoted off the site.

Iran started the war by three of its proxies attacking Israel for over two years. That's called FAFO.


40K death is fake news. Iran hitting their own school is fake news. Stop spreading lies. Can’t tell if it’s out of malice or ignorance though


That’s a manufactured made up number to down play the future civilian casualties from the war.


That’s a large portion of the western media across the gamut.

Planet labs has also been banned from publishing damages to US bases and Israel.

I suspect it all means it doesn’t look very good for the US


What are you talking about? US / Israel combined haven’t won this war yet. In fact, it’s not looking good for them.


I respect the Anthropic leadership for not being greedy like many others
