The Iranian ship was participating in the military exercise last month. This specific ship was nowhere near US or Israel, not even in active combat. Why would they attack it?


where you know it will be defenseless
This is the reason why attacking military and attacking civilians are considered different. Civilians are defenseless. They do not carry weapons. Attacking a defenseless warship, where it went for a military exercise with a non-adversary country is cowardly. Ambush is not the problem here.
Edit: (from the post link)
According to reports, the rules of the exercise stipulated that no ammunition was allowed on participating ships.


Your point being?
Books are great. Also read lots of fiction.
Disagree. It was XP.


Yeah because Iran and Iranians are from Mars I guess.


The son of Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is the frontrunner to replace him as supreme leader, according to reports.
He is not selected yet, according to your linked article. Your post title says he is elected according to reports.


Why are you guys downvoting this post?
I’ll permit you to say
lmao
I wouldn’t call them ‘Trump’ supporters necessarily, but they are shamelessly supportive of US imperialism.
Or you could say all things turn to shit over time…
You’re probably being called a tankie because you’re from lemmy.ml .


Maybe it is because men are bigger?
if you think the citizens who march in the streets everyday against this villainy are the perpetrators of this violence.
OP said “the US state”, not ‘people of the US’.
They probably mean that anyone supporting a genocide cannot be a progressive politician.


I am sorry if I worded this post badly, but my question is why is this phrase ‘go to reddit’ is used? You can simply tell them that their problematic views are not welcome here. Downvote. Report the comment. Why use ‘Go to reddit’ as a slur?


I didn’t mean to say that conservative views are just different views. I phrased my initial post badly, sorry. I mean to say that this retort is used also for differing views. A few days back, I was asked to go back to reddit because I questioned the US-limited view of politics. I don’t think my view was conservative. I was just thinking in what situations this retort is used.
Fascists have this weird tendency to appear as if they are soldiers. Attire, manner, etc. Hitler used to do this too.
