Tehran “is the principal source of regional instability and terror,” declare G7 leaders in a joint statement.

The leaders of the G7 countries on Monday issued a joint statement saying Iran should not have nuclear weapons and affirming Israel’s right to defend itself.

“Iran is the principal source of regional instability and terror. We have been consistently clear that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon,” declared the statement, issued by the leaders of the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan, along with the EU.

They pledged to “remain vigilant to the implications for international energy markets and stand ready to coordinate, including with like-minded partners, to safeguard market stability.”

    I had a similar response and then saw your comment later after I wrote mine. Just wanted to say I agree and maybe have a shared “annoyance” with the commenter that you have (not really them individually but more what narrative they are repeating from MSM).

    I focused more on trying to agree with the aesthetics of liberals like this while also pointing to why what they do is unhelpful. I don’t know if it connects. I try to push them in the right direction.

    From your comment Id assume you’re not American. So, I just wanted to give you some hope. There are a small minority of us that have learned from the past. A small minority that understand historical materialism and how to apply it to what we see today.

    And, even more so, there are a lot of the population saying “no” out of instinct. Seeing the repeated history of the US and it’s lies and just going with a gut feeling of distrust. I know it’s not not much. But it is something.

    Idk where I was going with this response. But I understand your frustration when someone tries to use civil rights suppression to justify literally bombing that didnt threaten us in anyway.

    We just get verbatim talking points from 2003; that I heard at 12 years old and was skeptical of even then. My best friends joined the military soon after and I did not. Out of “instinct” and nothing more. So, I’d say that “instinct” during this new generation is even stronger. It’s something. Something I hope is strong enough for a better world in the future. Maybe in the shade of the trees that we plant but never get to enjoy.
