In my mind that would be the main reason why. An sane population wouldn’t stand for their children to get killed and you do nothing. It forces your opponent into action and you can exploit that action.
With some infrastructure and certain targets a response can be delayed. Mass civilian/children casualties mean an immediate retaliation is in order or your population revolts to make one happen.
You see it in Palestine; people with nothing to lose become beligerant. You kill their kids they attack viciously. Much easier to attempt to justify fighting a “vicious rabbid opponent” than a defense less peaceful one. However, if they go the opposite end and attempt peace and calm, they are easy to mow down

The point is, maybe they will all just kill each other world wide. That’s a win for all honest people. /S

I’ll shed no tears for the end of Khomenei or the IRGC. I’ll shed endless tears for Iranian civilians. As I have since 2006, I hope the Iranian people can change the world.

Yeah. I don’t like intervention. I just was taught to always center their opinions before my own wants.
I wouldn’t have chosen any of this. I just hope that somehow this turns out well for them.
I feel like a lot of people misunderstood me.

LOL, ok Cheney. I’m sure this regime change war is different. All those other times we attacked “one of the most horrific regimes in the world” where the good people just needed a little boost to overthrow them it didn’t work out that way because… reasons. This time it’s going to be quick an easy and we’ll definitely be the good guys!
Dude. I’m willing to tell a foreign power my governing regime is horrific and we’d welcome invasion right now. There were Venezuelans asking for invasion, Iraqis asking for invasion, Afghanis asking for invasion. Do you think all those other countries didn’t have both bad regimes and opposition who wanted them gone? How’d that work out for us?

It’s really, really important for people to understand that Iranians wanting Khamenei gone is NOT the same thing as Iranians wanting the US and Israel to bomb their country.

I guess in a fucked up way it’s good to know the Brits and by association the Europeans are just as vile and evil as us. I mean, I know we all have the same capacity for good and evil, but EU smugness is rampant and unhelpful. They need a dose of reality too.

Arbitrary lines drawn by like minds. The UK might not be officially in the EU anymore, but that doesn’t change the fact that you all share the same values and lifestyles as the US. Failed liberal democracies that gave all the power to the owner class that are now welding it to murder children and overthrow sovereign nations. Western civilization is a joke.

no country are angels, but stay focused on what’s happening now. disparaging an entire continent because you’re sad isn’t going to change anything.
I’m not lashing out at all. You’re completely ignoring the point I made of UK and EU righteous smugness being fake performance art. An army means nothing, you’re still sending military force to support a fascist genocidal country commiting a genocide and now open war with its neighbor. You have no altruistic leg to stand on. You’re culpable now too. Get in the pool. The water is warm.

There isn’t even support for this in the US, and you think the EU will help after all the threats, insults and tariff bullying? We have a war in Ukraine where a friendly nation is defending against an aggressor, I don’t see any country willing to support this clusterfuck besides perhaps the UK
Fuck me, this response genuinely makes me feel less safe in the UK.

WTF
Yup, this is seriously heading towards a World War.
Who fighting who?
@madmadbunny@lemmy.ca vs your mum
Yep, that indeed looks like we are heading towards a world war.
Thanks for clearing up the statement by MadMadBunny, and prove the stupidity of it. 🤣
Iran alone fighting multiple powers, that each are more powerful than Iran by themselves.
That’s an insane claim. Nobody will help Iran. Iran has no real friends, not even Russia.
It’s not defence when you’re on the side that attacked, Starmer, you worm.
If you are housing US or Israel military you are part of the attack. It’s as simple as that.
If you’re a human, I blame your species for this.
So Israel and the US attacked Iran. Iran then fired back, the UK now is dogpiling Iran because they are firing back?
uk crawled all the way inside trumps diaper quite a while back, did you not notice that ?
That is a disgusting image. As an Anglophile I am sad as fuck at the state of England.
Israeli military bombs another school (wtf is their hard on for schools in general. They either want to kill them or fiddle with them)
Trump (the biggest terrorist in the world at the minute) declares that he wants to take out the terrorists.
And the UK joins in. On their side.
Fuck off.
Provokation and emotional response.

Makes sense.
The actual act of what they did wouldn’t even register with them.

Oh so Kier Starmer is a liar?
since we already covered that, i’mma move along. hope you feel better soon.
When did we cover that your PM is lying about sending military assets into the region to defend Israel? I don’t recall that conversation.
There isn’t even support for this in the US, and you think the EU will help after all the threats, insults and tariff bullying? We have a war in Ukraine where a friendly nation is defending against an aggressor, I don’t see any country willing to support this clusterfuck besides perhaps the UK
Of all EU countries, I only see Spain officially condemning the attack on Iran.
There is quite a gap between boots on the ground and condemning an attack isn’t there?
The imperial dog is out for its masters
Does the UK still consider the USA an ally?
So, Netanyahu and Trump are lighting the fuse and the UK and others have to help to clean up the mess those morons created.
Wtf?
The EU’s response has been shameful, but at least it hasn’t put us on the side of the aggressors
Fuck me, this response genuinely makes me feel less safe in the UK. What the fuck does the orange paedophile have to do before this utter prick stops siding with him.
Did anyone here actually read what he said, or just reading the headline and jumping to their own conclusion that the UK is joining in on the attacks?
