I'm not supporting their enemies, since they're sided with Iran. But Saudi Arabia's indiscriminate bombing of civilians and other assorted war crimes isn't something to be looked over
Yemen has become a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia to see who is the dominant Muslim power from each sect
and?
The Houthi are basically the original ISIS, and war is war
Both are shitty
But atleast in Iran, there’s a good amount of resistance against the regime
War is not some clean game where you dont get dirty.
Civilians die
Children die
Bombs are not smart, they are indiscriminate.
Also "war crimes" is a fucking joke of a term and i dont respect it
War is when all rules go out the window
It’s why the geneva convention is the most useless thing ever
War is a struggle between two irreconcilable wills. You must break the enemy´s will as quickly as possible if you do not want more suffering.
Bombing civilians has proven to do the opposite
I think it’s also important not to repeat the constant failure of leaving your enemy as your enemy
You should always try to reconcile so future war could be avoided
Which is one of the main reasons for the EU's existence
Accidental civilian death in course of a legitimate bombing is not a war crime
Also, the idea of a 'crime' is that you are being held accountable to a court of law above yourself.
Saudi Arabia has no such thing.
Ok I have to agree with Paul here tho to go to war is to declare that you intend to eliminate a threat only after world war 1 did anyone even care about civvies, up until that point most countries did “war crimes”
War crimes and 'civilians' are a modern invention and byproduct of professional armies relieving the responsibility of national defense from the citizenry
(You may reuse that quote.)
I mean in a lot of these countries there’s a larger population that doesn’t fight but I’d imagine if the us was attacked everyone would be frothing for a fight
Well technically they are accountable to the human rights tribunal
*They ARE the human rights tribunal!*
I always found ironic
That they have a seat
yea it shows that it just a joke
The un as a whole is a joke
Tony “Democracy doesn’t work” Blair
Yeah that seems like a fucking great idea
Why the fuck are these people so retarded
Cameron himself said that the result of the first referendum would be non-negotiable
yea if they go back on it. Democracy is dead for all time in the UK and by proxy a lot of the westen world
If they call a 2nd referendum I call 3rd
