Yes, better to ask the Mullah to stop. They really upped their game recently and the number of their own people dead is guessed at 36500.

The people affected are out in their hundreds of thousands anll over the world and absolutely joyous about this. Their lives shouldn't be sacrificed just so we don't mess with the status quo. Was anyone helping them ?

Dave!

America have been famously great at the restructuring part of the “blow up the middle east” plan.

Was it stable before ?

Murderous oppressive regime which the whole country is dancing about hopefully being over ?

I'll leave it there, I think this is a good thing for the people of Iran and hope it's over as quickly as is possible.

I think oppressive murderous regime could be used to describe Iran, Israel or Trump’s America tbh.

Which one is the moral good?

The one which doesn't murder women who were raped is a pretty good start.

Your moral compass is pretty fucked up.

You’re missing my point here Dave. There are no goodies and baddies here.

They’re all evil cunts and not one of them cares what happens to the average people ground up in their fight.

Apparently (I've not read about it fully yet, so may not be entirely accurate), Green Party deputy leader was in attendance in London yesterday, at a demonstration to show support for the Iranian regime...

Yep saw that too. But left wing politics is all about picking up the Muslim vote and siding with dictators so it’s business as usual there.

I do find it curious they only appear to reserve condemnation when the USA/West or Israel is involved. Brutal dictatorships killing their own people rarely get a mention, if at all.

Curious isn't it.

A lot of very naive people in the world.

I know this isn't the thread for it, but they (Greens, Corbyn, etc) want to dismantle our entire relationship with the USA. Expel American forces from our bases, withdraw from NATO, reduce trade, etc. Seriously!?

What is the real motive here? I think we know - it's what their voters want. Hence the rhetoric switch from staunch environmentalism to pro-immigration policies and anti-USA positions. They've been surging as a result.

I don't disagree with everything they say, but the majority of it is either fantasy or pure recklessness.

They're a huge threat to our foreign policy, and that's before we've even started domestically.

I can’t imagine why the muslim population of the UK doesn’t want to vote for the parties calling them rapists and loudly proclaiming they shouldn’t be here.

Total mystery.

Was it pro-regime or anti war/bombing?

I'm not expecting the Muslim population to come out in a show of support for Farage, but it's more pointing out that Greens have largely repositioned themselves and are now engaging in the culture war politics.

I know they all do it. But the Greens have had quite a sharp diversion into the stance they have now, which wouldn't necessarily be an issue if their policies weren't so alarming.

Bang on. And the lightweights in the media won't call it out for what it is. If the greens get no.10 we are in serious trouble.

So is everyone else, the Greens have to respond to the ridiculous shit the other parties are saying.

The greens can’t win though, they either focus on the environment and are written off as an irrelevance or become a bigger party and get accused of cynically arguing against the cynical actions of the government for votes.

Can you imagine, a political party trying to appeal to voters? Not in this day and age.

Pretty sure the Green party has always been anti war

here’s an article from 20 years ago that took one quick google:
