Iran is a victim of aggression

No nation has ever nuked another nation with nukes....ever!
Why would you believe anything Trump says?

This is the same guy who said the new president of Iran asked him for a cease fire. Here is why we know that was a lie. Iran doesn't have a new President; Masoud Pezeshkian has been in the role since 2024.

Not only is he a liar, he is a really bad liar. A stupid liar who does not even bother to look up Iran's president to know who he is.

Err, the US nuked Japan.


And I'm not about to defend Trump.

Give the guy a break. Perhaps he read the new version (Trump’s) of history, why the Japanese surrendered in WW2. 🤔

Read what I wrote. Japan did not have nukes. Nobody did except the USA at that time.

Your sentence was badly written. Re-read it yourself.

Better would have been:

'No nation has ever nuked another nation 'that had' nukes.' - Rather than:

'No nation has ever nuked another nation with nukes.'

Okay. I guess so. But you know what I meant.
It was the USA that nuked Japan. Only because nobody else had nukes, so who was going to stop them? No nation has used nukes since.

Nukes are only good for defensive purposes. That is why North Korea has not been invaded. Pakistan has nukes and they border Iran. There is no logical reason to believe Iran would use a nuke for a first strike. Especially on nuke armed nations like Israel and the USA. Suicidal.

Iran is not a threat to any nation, let alone the world.
Iran has never attacked any country.

It is currently attacking many countries.

In self defense. US bases are in those countries. Iran has never waged a war of aggression in the history of that country.

Iran prefers proxy warfare.


You're pretty much alone in not believing that.

That is an allegation without proof. And even if it were true Israel is a proxy of the USA. Do you want to engage in a debate about proxies and what makes them proxies? Cool. Bring it on!

Define proxy. Then name the proxies of the USA.
You cannot have it both ways. What is the difference between an ally and a proxy? Is there a difference? And if so, what is the difference?

Is Israel a proxy of the USA? Is Ukraine?
If I say Hamas is an ally and not a proxy of Iran am I wrong? If so, why? Hamas is a Sunni sect, not Shiite. Sunnis are proxies of Shiites? This makes no sense, does it?

Hezbollah is not a puppet of Iran. They merely have common goals. They are allies, not proxies. France is a proxy of the British Empire. Right? No? Just an ally? What is the difference between an ally and a proxy? Is a proxy a puppet? Explain.

The USA prefers proxy warfare. What do you think Israel is? The US gives them weapons and Israel uses them in joint military terrorism.

This whole war is based on a lie. Trump said Iran's nuclear program was obliterated. And when somebody questioned that Trump called it fake news.

So Trump started a war based on fake news. Why is it that nobody in the corporate news media will point that out? Because it is propaganda. That is why. And you are gullible for buying into it. Iran should have nukes. That would have prevented this war. Nukes prevent wars. Nukes have never been used to start wars in world history.

Thank god for the bomb. Nobody invades countries that have nukes.
