Iran declares U.S. citizens, personnel 'legitimate targets' after strike on nuclear sites
-
International laws have said you shouldn't since they were written, and not a single engagement has followed those laws. I disregard their existence as much as the people who enact war.
To disregard their existence is to pretend they don't matter at all, which is incredibly naive.
There's no perfect compliance, no, but if they weren't respected at all and had no effect, the situations would be different.
For instance yeah, Russia has apparently brought out WWI style choking agents and used them. But there's no widespread use at least, and no mustard gas. Which would be more effective for Russia to do. But they don't, as they want to keep plausible deniability so that Europe doesn't gain an actual reason to mount an offensive.
So yeah, while you are right in that psychotic asshats don't care about them, they are affected by them nonetheless.
Basically ROE says that medics shouldn't be shot, but my brother trained as a medic and one of the first things they've we're unofficially taught was to hide their crosses on the battlefield, as Russians would literally aim at medics. (Finnish army.)

Dear Iran, leave us Americans out of this fight. Your fight is with trump alone, we are hostages of him. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk

Remember what happened the last time a major terrorist strike happened in USA?
The USA responded by attacking the wrong country under the false premise of "weapons of mass destruction "?

Not just one! They got Osama bin Laden eventually though so amazing success

It depends on your definition of "legitimate", I suppose.
My point is that the targeting of civilians is still and always has been common in war. It may now be de jure illegal but it is de facto not policed.
The word legitimate has a pretty specific definition it's not really something that can be reasonably debated.

You voted(or didn't) for him and are responsible. Good luck, leave the rest of the world out of this.
Sincerely the world.

Americans have only ever pretended to care about non-combatants when it's convenient. President Obama even invented the term 'enemy combatant' so he could pretend his drone strikes were killing fewer civilians.
Why would you post such an obvious and easily verifiably false statement.

I admit I failed to press the button that would have solved that

Is Iran mad at me now? Bruh this is why I don't like leaving the house. /s But seriously something has got to give with this maniac regime we have here in the U.S., and I'm afraid we are the only ones who could realistically stand up and change anything. Nobody else is coming to save us.

This is correct.

I know. I have always wished for Bernie to be president but nothing I tried (and I tried) was enought to get my boy elected, nor my local Democrat (I live in a red state unfortunately).

Fuck you, don't assume that shit on me. I voted, I volunteered on phone banks, I tried talking to whomever you listen on why this guy was a bad deal all the way back from 2015, and it was never for that walking piece of human excrement.

The maniac regime has been a maniac for literal decades at this point. Please do something about it, OK? Xoxo

Stand back, everyone. This guy made phone calls. I’m sure MAGA knows better than to show their face in this guy’s neighborhood!

Fellow muricans; stay out of metropolitan areas on July 4th. My guess is that we're going to see the inevitable marriage of military and local law enforcement using the "iranian sleeper sell agents biden let loose in our country" angle instead. Faux news frontpage is laying the groundwork as of yesterday.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]My money is on Iran enacting a terrorist attack on July 4. It isn’t just Iran’s opportunity to enact mere vengeance, but it is a convenient opportunity to have that vengeance become deeply ingrained into the mind of America for a long time to come. Where we would once have celebrated our independence, that celebration would be contaminated by a horrific attack. It's not just about enacting petty revenge, but it'd be about sending a message for generations. Also, the date is conveniently close.
