They would if it was only their moral integrity stopping them, but they wouldn't because doing such a thing would destroy their international standing and immediately start a regional war with generous Western involvement if not outright belligerency. In other words: They wouldn't use a nuke against a regional adversary for the same reason North Korea hasn't nuked South Korea. There's a limit to how far you can push nukes and, counterintuitively, actually using them goes beyond that limit. If anything, it's countries with actual muscle like China, US and its allies and to a lesser extent Russia that could actually use a nuke and (comparatively) get away with it.

Because fascists don't care about the law? What even is this question?

When you let Trump off the hook for genocide

So... Never?

Fair, but they said "Hamas supporter," not just "Hamas". I'm just nitpicking, but yeah.

What part of my comment do you take as defending Trump or China? I hate both of them, but I also hate Dem hypocrisy. Do I need to add a footnote saying fuck Trump and fuck Xi whenever I want to criticize Democrats?

To be... Uh... Fair??? they didn't say "terrorist" in that tweet.

Iran isn't good, but the kind of bad it does isn't the kind nukes would have an impact on. Meanwhile a nuclear armed Iran wouldn't be bombed by Israel year in and year out.

Wow, the fucking hypocrisy. Everyone is pointing out the genocide, which is fair enough, but more relevantly the Yemen bombing campaign is pretty much exactly what Trump is doing, only Biden had the sense not to call it a war.

"Now's not the time" is how they got Bernie.

See my reply to the other guy.

I didn't mean these planes as in literally the planes that were targeted (the planes used for this particular war crime are in Cyprus) but rather as in their planes in general. Really bad phrasing on my part so apologies for that. Expecting people to look for the exact model being used to commit war crimes is unreasonable, though. If they didn't want their shit destroyed, they shouldn't have committed war crimes.

but breaking into an RAF base and destroying the engines of multiple planes obviously isn't something that should be tolerated or encouraged.

Given that the British government refuses to stop assisting war crimes, destroying the tools of the war crimes seems like the logical next step. These aren't just Israel's war crimes; they're also Britain's war crimes.

Edit: To clarify, the UK flies these planes over Gaza and gives the intel to Israel, which they use for targeting. The RAF is actively helping Israel murder Gazans.

Edit2: The way this is phrased implies the planes that were sabotaged were intelligence gathering planes used in Gaza. That's not what I intended and is false; these were refueling planes, and the planes used for intelligence gathering for Israel are being flown from Cyprus, not the home isles. I still believe the property of war criminals is fair game.

True, but that doesn't excuse Bobby shooting up brown people in the Middle East. Joining the military and being surprised when you're deployed to fight wars is pure FAFO.

Isn't that more than a year away? If Netanyahu and his stooges have their way there won't be an Iran by then.

Unfortunately, innocent people will be the ones on the front lines, like always.

If you willingly go to shoot up brown people halfway across the world, how innocent can you really be?

Man, couldn't they have missed a little to the west?

common sense isn't always available when conservative is ruling.

It wasn't when liberals were ruling either (see: Gulf of Aden). This is an imperialism thing, not a conservative thing (though conservatives are worse about it).

Why would they, whoever "they" is in this instance?

The only moral abortion is my abortion.

Man, my list of good things Trump did is expanding faster than I thought.
