Then, the Iranian empire are a more oppressive Atreides, and US and Israel are the Sardaukar and Harkonnen?

stephen01king@piefed.zipto politics @lemmy.world•Congress can stop the bombing of IranEnglish31·5 days ago
stephen01king@piefed.zipto Global News@lemmy.zip•Why Ukraine will not – and should not – give up the Donbas or any other territoryEnglish2·16 days agoWell, less Shahed drones also means Russia has to rely more on expensive ballistic missiles for the foreseeable future. Whether the balance tilts to Ukraine’s favour or Russia would require more in-depth research than I can perform.
You’ll have to provide some sources when saying Ukraine is already bled dry. That’s not something I can accept at face value.
I doubt Ukraine is looking for a simple ceasefire. And me saying until Ukraine is unwilling to fight does not mean until they are unable to defend themselves any longer.
Obviously, there are competent people in the Ukrainian military that can determine when continuing the fight is more disadvantageous for the long term. That point has not been reached yet.
stephen01king@piefed.zipto Global News@lemmy.zip•Why Ukraine will not – and should not – give up the Donbas or any other territoryEnglish21·16 days agoIn what way would the Iran war benefit Russia outside of increasing the profit margin of their oil exports? Iran is now using up their supply of Shahed drones in the war, which means they would be less likely to have enough to sell to Russia. It just sounds like another blow to their ability to continue waging war against Ukraine.
On the other hand, can Russia keep this up longer than Ukraine is willing to fight? Given that one side is protecting their own sovereignty while the other is doing it for the imperialistic ambitions of the few at the top, I’d say they can’t unless the EU or the US forces an end to the war. Even if you prove that they can, you still need to weigh this over the fact that giving Putin the land will only embolden him to continue his invasion after he rebuilds his army.
stephen01king@piefed.zipto Global News@lemmy.zip•Why Ukraine will not – and should not – give up the Donbas or any other territoryEnglish31·16 days agoNah, I don’t agree with prolonging the war, but I vehemently disagree with forcing the war to end by capitulating to Putin.
We’ve seen what happens when you do and the answer was not long term peace. Doing that again is as stupid as the US starting another war in the middle east.
As long as Ukraine is still fighting, the EU should keep letting them fight. Stopping Putin’s ambitions short is beneficial for them as well as Ukraine.
stephen01king@piefed.zipto Global News@lemmy.zip•Why Ukraine will not – and should not – give up the Donbas or any other territoryEnglish21·16 days agoThe west should’ve, but they didn’t. I never said the west did everything right while helping Ukraine, but you were suggesting that they should let Russia keep the territories that they stole, which is basically giving Putin what he wants.
Remind me what happens the last time they conceded their territory to Putin? It definitely didn’t prevent them from invading again.
Ukraine is not conquering Russian lands, so there is no “has it all” for them. It’s a fight to not let Putin steal their land. The fact that you’re equating the two sides really shows your lack of neutrality in this matter. Where you made your account is simply more proof of it.
stephen01king@piefed.zipto World News@lemmy.world•Iranian missile strikes injure 115 in Israel, officials say, puncturing air defenses and shocking the publicEnglish31·17 days agoTry asking the guy to criticise Israel for all the civilians they’ve killed and you may find that it’s actually not that easy, which is strange, right?
stephen01king@piefed.zipto Global News@lemmy.zip•Why Ukraine will not – and should not – give up the Donbas or any other territoryEnglish44·17 days agoJust like Russian soldiers are forced to fight in Ukraine?
And are you even hearing yourself? They are ABLE to fight because they are sold weapons. The alternative is that they can’t fight back an invasion of their own country and have to surrender it to the imperialistic ambition of a crazy leader like Putin. I guess given the place you make your account, that is exactly what you want.
I just don’t understand all this pretense about caring for Ukrainian soldiers when we all know which side you actually support.
stephen01king@piefed.zipto News@lemmy.world•Iran says coastal attack will lead to full Gulf closure and mine-layingEnglish3·17 days agoDang, they’ve really been preparing for this for a while, haven’t they. A lot more than I can say for the Trump administration.
stephen01king@piefed.zipto World News@lemmy.world•Iranian missile strikes injure 115 in Israel, officials say, puncturing air defenses and shocking the publicEnglish9·17 days agoChecking if the person I’m accusing of being a leftist is a leftist first before posting the comment is not pretending to do research, it’s simply common sense.
You somehow think that making comments involves either peer-reviewed science or zero research at all and nothing in between. You also seem to be proud of not double-checking your assumptions at all. From these two observations, I can tell that you have a few issues up there that needs to be addressed.
stephen01king@piefed.zipto World News@lemmy.world•Iranian missile strikes injure 115 in Israel, officials say, puncturing air defenses and shocking the publicEnglish10·17 days agoNo, I simply recognise what I perceive may not be the same as reality and would double check my assumptions before posting any comment so I do less mistakes. I especially do not proudly proclaim that my comments lack any research whatsoever and that I’m completely fine with it like you are doing.
stephen01king@piefed.zipto World News@lemmy.world•Iranian missile strikes injure 115 in Israel, officials say, puncturing air defenses and shocking the publicEnglish251·17 days agoSo you’re making assumptions based on your flawed and biased experience instead of factual data. Got it. I expected that given the quality of comment you provided above.
stephen01king@piefed.zipto World News@lemmy.world•Iranian missile strikes injure 115 in Israel, officials say, puncturing air defenses and shocking the publicEnglish402·17 days agoI’m also amazed at how quickly you blame leftists based on one person’s comment that gave no indication that they are a leftist.
stephen01king@piefed.zipto World News@lemmy.world•Iranian missile strikes injure 115 in Israel, officials say, puncturing air defenses and shocking the publicEnglish122·17 days agoThis comment is why I can’t take you at your word when you say you’re against all civilian deaths.
Not only do you not have any proof to give, which might be explainable by you not getting the chance to make such a comment just yet. But instead of simply explaining why and using this chance to call out Israel for their atrocities against civilians, you decided to focus on one part of the comment so you can avoid criticising Israel while claiming the moral high ground.
This is a very typical Zionist tactic which is convincing me more and more that you are not arguing in good faith. I can still be wrong, but you’re not making it easy for me to trust you.
stephen01king@piefed.zipto World News@lemmy.world•Iranian missile strikes injure 115 in Israel, officials say, puncturing air defenses and shocking the publicEnglish31·17 days agoAnd you’re making this assertion based on which data?
stephen01king@piefed.zipto World News@lemmy.world•Iranian missile strikes injure 115 in Israel, officials say, puncturing air defenses and shocking the publicEnglish71·17 days agoDo you classify them as an untrustworthy source when it doesn’t conform to your world view? I treat them as a source that I compare with other sources.
Do you know how polls are made? 500 people is enough to get an insight into the trends inside a population. There are other factors that affect the accuracy more than having more people surveyed. You’re free to analyze their methodology and come up with an argument for why it invalidates the result.
Like I said, they are more likely to have been Zionists than anti-Zionists, given the proof I’ve provided. Never did I claim they all are Zionists. I also never even claimed murdering civilians is a positive thing. All I did was disprove your claim that the anti-Zionists sentiment here are caused by antisemitism.
Also, you avoided giving proof that you had made comments calling out Israel for killing civilians in multiple countries when the other guy asked for it, so forgive me for doubting your position that you are against all civilian death. The way you argue are far too reminiscent to the way Zionists do for me to take your word for it.
stephen01king@piefed.zipto Global News@lemmy.zip•Why Ukraine will not – and should not – give up the Donbas or any other territoryEnglish86·17 days agoThey’re fighting for their sovereignty, not for the EU. Stop with this baseless logic you tankies keep using.
stephen01king@piefed.zipto World News@lemmy.world•Iranian missile strikes injure 115 in Israel, officials say, puncturing air defenses and shocking the publicEnglish91·17 days agoThere are polls showing the majority of Israelis consider themselves Zionists. For example.
I want to say you’re just uninformed, but I’m way too used to the way Zionists argue to recognise when they are just acting like they don’t know so they can make false arguments that aren’t based on any facts.
stephen01king@piefed.zipto World News@lemmy.world•Iranian missile strikes injure 115 in Israel, officials say, puncturing air defenses and shocking the publicEnglish121·17 days agoIn this case, all the victims are disproportionately Zionists, so what you’re claiming is the less likely thing to be happening here. It’s also very transparent when Zionists try to hide behind the Jew identity so they can avoid consequences for their actions, you know?
That’s just ChatGPT with extra steps.
