Of course it does and should.

Yet also states have a right to defend themselves.

Israel and the IRGC are and have been at war for longer than just October 7th.
The Iranian regime chant death to Israel and death to America at rallies daily.
This is not a regime that should be considered compatible with a rules based order intended to foster prosperity.

Speak in literal terms man. Say what you mean.

I cant help it if you cant understand what was just said, by multiple people. I explained my position repeatedly. It not my problem that you cant understand the explanations provided.

Your attempts at explaining your own obvious hypocrisy surmounts to utter rambling garbage.

Speak literally and make a concise argument or don't. Both are fine.

There you go again with personal attacks. Its literally your go-to. You call me a hypocrite because you have repeatedly failed to understand my position. Even when I use chatGPT and use a prompt "explain to a 12 year old" you still dont get it. That is a YOU problem, not MY problem.

We are talking about international norms. Your position, by your own words, is that Iran's consulate in Syria is not comparable to any other consulate in the world (presumable inferring its fair game to bomb it). But the fact is, it was a consulate, internationally recognized as such, even if you personally view it differently from every other consulate in the world. Whether they organized terrorist acts against Israel is not relevant (im sure they did).

To bring this back on Topic, it is clear that Russia would not directly bomb a US consulate. It is also clear that the US would not directly bomb a Russian consulate. While the US has scuppered all peace plans between Russia and Ukraine, and is refusing to engage (meaningfully) diplomatically with Russia, nevertheless it keeps its diplomatic mission to Russia open in order to have relevant conversations when the need arises, notwithstanding any conflict that exists from time to time (like now). Yes diplomatic missions are closed down when the shit hits the fan and there is a failure in diplomacy but there is a reason why diplomatic missions are not to be touched.

You are full of assumptions and spend more time throwing insults then providing meaningful conversation. Russia can be condemned for invading Ukraine but the invasion of Ukraine did not happen in a vaccuum. There is such a thing as cause and effect. The fact that you cant comprehend this is again, NOT MY PROBLEM.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict is based on Nato over-reaching.
The Israeli-Palestine conflict is based on one side, over decades kicking its ethnic minorities out.

While there are similarities in each conflict there are fundamental differences. The fact that you dont get this, is, again, NOT MY PROBLEM.

Not at all a personal attack, another one of your go to tropes. I am arguing against your argument of lack thereof. I don't give a flying fuck about you personally. But your positions and arguments are utter garbage and I'm calling them out.
Its the same thing over and over with you. When pressed to explain the obvious hypocrisy you just can't do it.

Make absurd hypocritical condemnation of one actor and simultaneously justify another's identical and even worse behaviour.
Post some chatGPT drivel.
Make some rhetorical abstract explanation.
Refuse to explain in literal terms.
Claim a personal attack.

Rinse and repeat.

Don't post garbage in a public forum if you don't expect to that garbage to be scrutinised.

Am I allowed to giggle at the above ? its not construed as a personal attack right? did he just flame himself ?

You started deflecting, ergo admitting your defeat.

Thanks.

lmao

It's always the same with that user. Hopeless case SMH
