So here’s the uncomfortable question Australians should ask, especially when our leader Anthony Albanese was so quick to line up behind the strikes: what exactly is the theory of change?
Not the slogan. Not the press release. The real theory. How, precisely, does dropping bombs - or killing a dictator - make Iranian women freer, Iranian prisons emptier, Iranian courts fairer, or Iranian politics more accountable? And how does it secure long-term peace in the Middle East.
If we can’t answer that in plain language, then we are not looking at a pathway to peace and human rights. We’re looking at protracted violence and dysfunction dressed up as virtue.
yes sorry been doing this for 25 years now, i was busy watching cnn live stream tanks going into iraq and before that the explosions as missiles hit afghanistan
Fans of the evil islamic regime are pissed meanwhile there are more than enough Iranians around the world and inside Iran celebrating to tell you all you need to know
Yes I already have been witnessing this daily for 4 years now with the Russian invasion of Ukraine
If you think I’ll stop donating to Ukraine to help it in its fight for freedom because of over 100,000 deaths and a non exact death toll you’ll have to forgive me we have a difference of opinion
Why are you bringing off-topic countries into this thread I wonder. I’ve never mentioned Ukraine just like I never mentioned NK until you did. Why would I object to your donations to Ukraine? Civilians are suffering greatly there. I am all for protecting and aiding civilians wherever they may be.
We see the celebrating Iranians but we are not seeing any interviews with people who object to the bombing of their country. But they are there.
I don’t really care about those who liked the evil regime, iranians have been crying out for change for decades now and the wholesale slaughter of them peacefully protesting last month was one of the most brutal acts of repression ive seen ever
