The craziest thing about the new war on Iran is they don't even have any clear-cut, manufactured justification for it to give the media. They didn't even bother.

submitted by PunkMonk to chat 50 points | 29 comments ‘Why is the US bombing Iran?’ has got to be one of the most searched prompts on google these past few days. And the closest thing to a current answer you will find is “We attacked them because they were going to have nukes and then use them on us, it’s self-defense.” - There is a lack of evidence for this claim btw. That is like as if you invade someone’s home, shoot and kill them and your defense in court for it is, “Your honour, I had to do it because I had suspicions they were going to adopt a guard dog and then use that guard dog to attack me while I was walking down the street!” Blatant, mask-off imperialism. How anyone can continue to view America and Israel on the right side of history baffles me.
