Global Politics - General Chat

Iran’s unwillingness to escalate is what caused this in the first place. They cannot fake out anymore - the Zionist cancer must be confronted.

Problem is the zionist cancer is backed by the U.S. and Iran is backed by both Russia and China, to say nothing of its proxies and other allies.  Actual retaliation is going to end up being a conflict that spreads well beyond Israel.  The amount of people who would die if such a full blown war were to take place is far too steep a price.

Gaza was already being choked out into a slow death for decades. Lebanon has been held as an economic hostage to IMF and its sovereignty infringed upon by the illegitimate occupation. Yemen has been choked out by despots and combatted by the whole world and proxy states for reclaiming its sovereignty.

October 7th as an act of resistance was inherently accelerationist. If nothing else, it made it clear that lines are drawn in the sand and it shattered the long standing theory of Israeli security; this is an existential fight between us and them and if it was to extend beyond the borders of occupied Palestine - then:

1. It already has, and always was the case.
2. The zionist entity brought it on itself.

These rocket volleys should have happened on October 7th, not today. That is Iran's only mistake.
