Pope Leo XIV says that U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to destroy Iranian civilization is “truly unacceptable” and that any attacks on civilian infrastructure violate international law.

    What’s more worrying is that nobody else is saying it.

    Sure it’s a horrible regime but they’re not the only ones going to be suffering

      I am surprised a lot of people think that being a “horrible regime” justifies genocide. Is this train of thought human at all? Because the Iranians are not going around bombing civilians in other countries.

          I think that there are a lot of ghouls out there trying to use moral relativism to justify mass murder. My answer to them is “We destroyed the nazis for a reason”

              Us and the Soviets

              But only after the other European allies paid the price in blood to hold them for as long as possible.

                Then the US HIRED nazis, for example the

                “I aim for the moon, but sometimes I hit London” Crew

                Those guys later went on to work for Eti Amin (Congo Space Race!)

                And they built Gadahfis bunkers…

                So thanks for employing the Nazis USA

        I personally think the genocide of the human race is justified, but anything short of every single person is just needless slaughter and causes more suffering than it solves.

        But yes, I believe this because as a general rule humans are fucking stupid animals who figured out violence and oppression and then never evolved past that.

        Uhhh…what? They absolutely are. Have you missed the whole Ukrainian war thing? Still nothing justifies genocide and this is all to placate a war hungry megalomaniac with pedophilic obsessions. But Iran has undeniably contributed heavily to Ukrainian civilian deaths via Shahed drone production.

          Ukraine also participated in iraq war along with usa which killed a million iraqi civilians , ukraine prior to russian war supplied weapons to many african countries which commited human right violations aganist people of other countries and their own people, does that mean war on ukraine is justified. Similarly iran government supported russia by providing shaheed drones doens’t justify usa/israel bombing in iran and killing innocent civilians

            Yeah, no shit Sherlock. That’s not the argument. The point of contention was the claim that Iran doesn’t kill foreign civilians.

      also to note, its a regime that is result of UK/US installing the shah and then the islamic revolution happened, so its pretty much the fault of the US AND UK.

    Trump threatening genocide out loud is horrendous. All of the world leaders that barely shrug off the threat if at all are horrendous.

    It’s normalization of the absolute worst.

    In other news, Pope Leo releases an official press release stating that he is, in fact, Catholic.

      Directly? Talk to “God,” and thoughts and prayers for the people.

      Indirectly? He just told around a billion and a half Catholics to resist/disobey illegal orders. That’s not nothing.
