Iran has told Israel through the UN that it will intervene if the country’s operations against Hamas in Gaza continue, a report has claimed.
Israel has warned 1.1 million people living in the north of the enclave to evacuate ahead of an expected ground operation in Gaza with the IDF planning to strike the territory from land, sea and air.
Iran’s involvement could be through a militant group from Syria or by backing Hezbollah to join the conflict, diplomatic sources told Axios.
Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said that Israel’s operations could cause fighting to expand to other areas of the Middle East which would cause Israel to suffer “a huge earthquake”, reported the Associated Press.
I thought I was too late to invest in war companies, but perhaps that was premature.
Doesn’t that seem unethical, even if it might be lucrative?
If it’s good enough for elected US representatives, it’s good enough for me.
They were talking about ethics, something an elected official would know nothing about.
Yeah but they answered their own question. If it’s lucrative, it’s unethical.
The true answer is unequivocally yes. Fuck everyone who says otherwise trying to justify this ghoulish shit.
I would argue the whole system is unethical. Capitalism has never bothered itself with ethics. That said, it’s arguably even more unethical.
Not really, people have a right to defend themselves, and security is a human right.
Defending yourself? Of course that’s a right. Making bank from WAR? Probably not.
Well, what in the hell are you supposed to defend yourself with if no one makes weapons!? What kind of fucking logic is that?
That’s not what I’m saying tho? You’re twisting my words.
I’m not saying no one should make weapons. I’m saying no one should be able to make lots of money by exploiting the suffering of others (which is in this case, war).
Oh come on, wth is lots of money? And where do you draw the line at some money being made?
Not really at the moment, given how the critical conflicts right now seem to be Israel vs Hamas and Ukraine vs Russia. Western arms companies are in the rare situation where they are on the more good side right now.
Stares at casualties in Palestine yeah… No.
Step 1: go outside
Step 2: touch grass
Dunno why anyone would downmod this
Because when the grass is burning, it’s kind of hard to touch it.
Ethics are a social construct and are subjective. Thus - irrelevant.
Only irrelevant if you don’t live in a society.
Irrelevant in any case. Unless you live in a conservative close minded society and never see any people from other cultures.

So you expect that at some point in the future of mankind, there will be a period with no active conflict and weapons snuggling? 😂 my sweet child…
I think snuggling weapons is weird but one of the best uses for them

Naruto in a nutshell
My mad smuggling, but snuggling also works I guess 😎
I wish
There’s always a lot of weapons snuggling going on in the US.
Elsewhere… It varies, but typically, not so much.
As soon as we can learn to share resources and land.
I wish… Archeology shows, that people have been killing people since before proper tribes where formed. Call me a pessimist, but i don’t see a future where we truly learn to life peacefully.
Well I think of humanity as a “work in progress”, improving over the ages, so my hopes are that we grow up out of killing each other instead of sharing resources and land.
Well, I certainly hope you are right
You and me both.
From a Sci-Fi show about dyson spheres and habitats: “Where man goes, war will follow.” Made me sad, because I guess it’s true.
