Russian asset. They’ve been backing Iran from the start.

This time make it a joint announcement immediately from the White House rose garden two beautiful poles before Bibi gets on a plane and changes his mind.

Most people aren’t paying for the education. They are paying for the degree. The education they could get for £1.50 in late fees at the library. This is not something new.

“Get back in that bottle you stupid genie!”

Don’t worry, they are just laundering them through Turkiye :(

Well that’s not good for anyone.

literally no evidence Iran is trying to obtain nuclear weapons

Either incredibly uninformed or abject misinformation:

No ‘credible civilian’ purpose for Iran uranium France 24, 2024

UN report: Uranium particles enriched to 83.7% found in Iran - “Iran has been producing uranium enriched to 60% purity — a level for which nonproliferation experts already say Tehran has no civilian use.” AP, 2023

IAEA Report - “While some of the activities identified in the Annex have civilian as well as military applications, others are specific to nuclear weapons.” 2011

The people who would be most harmed by a nuclear armed Iranian regime are the Iranian people.

This is what Iran looked like before the ayatollahs took over. Successfully removing a nuclear-armed, religious-fundamentalist government is orders of magnitude more difficult for the people. The whole world will suffer, but no one more than the people of Iran themselves.

This could go potentially be a war crime.

I’m likely to end up in the same situation unfortunately. I’m cancelling the card for unrelated reasons, so I don’t really anticipate any way to see my money again.

That’s the nature of monopoly. What are people going to do? Never leave the house?

It’s been too long. Most credit cards only allow a limited period of time to challenge a charge. I stupidly hoped that it would be rescheduled. You know, since Ticketmaster told me it would be. After 60-90 days, the money is theirs whether they deliver a product or not.

Thanks for the financial advice bro.

The point is that they borrow money for free. It’s theft even if they one day refund the tickets. Because that’s how money works. Apparently you should know that since you’re clearly an expert.

Ticketmaster owes me a couple hundred dollars for a show that’s been “delayed” for a year now. Meanwhile, I’m paying interest on the credit charges.

There’s no way to get a refund or dispute the charges.

It should be illegal.

Further proof that scientists are cool everywhere in the world

Almost all of the hostages have been freed through negotiated agreements. Netanyahu pretending that renewed military pressure will solve this is a betrayal of the hostages’ lives. Bring them home now!

The rules of the !News community are enforced with the best consistency we can manage. I do not make moderation decisions based on my personal beliefs, but the beauty of federation is that there are many news communities to follow and contribute to if you don’t approve of moderation decisions.

I have never defended torture of any kind, but feel free to link any comments that I have made if you need clarification.

Lastly, if someone who often supports Israel says this is particularly bad, what does that tell you?

This is a particularly disturbing escalation of rhetoric. For those who don’t know, these types of statements have until now come from far-right leaders propping up the government. This is from Netanyahu’s own party, which he controls with pretty much total authority.

This is an extremely dark option. Creating 2 million refugees in Africa, Europe, or elsewhere in the Middle East is patently bad for the people, bad for the world, and bad for Israel. Literally no upside for anyone (except for real estate developers).

And they should smile more, too. /s

So that’s when America was great. It all makes sense now.
