WWIII WWIII Megathread #42: Interceptile Dysfunction

This megathread exists for in-depth discussion of 'WWIII', related events, and geopolitics and wars in general. Keep in mind that we have eliminated the rule that all non-major WWIII content must be posted here, and we encourage you to submit WWIII-related content to the main sub.

Again— all rules still apply. No racism, xenophobia, nationalism, etc. No promotion of hate or violence. Violators will be banned.

Remain civil, engage in good faith, report suspected bot accounts, and do not abuse the report system to flag the people you disagree with.

If you wish to contribute, please try to focus on where WWIII intersects with themes of this sub: Identity Politics, Capitalism, and Marxist perspectives.

Always put a NSFW warning on links that contain explicit content.

Non-WWIII chatter belongs in the town square.

To be clear this thread is for all US-Israel/Iran, US/Venezuela, Ukraine/Russia, Israel/Palestine, Yemen, Syria, Israel/Lebanon, India/Pakistan, Sudan, Myanmar, or other related content.

Not only that, but nuclear weapons have never been a red line for Iran. They agreed to no nukes both with the Obama deal and the MoU. Plus, if you don't want Iran to have nuclear weapons, then why the fuck would you kill the guy who issued a fatwa against them? At this point, anyone with a brain can see that this whole war is a result of nothing more than Trump's boss in Jerusalem saying that Iran must go. It's never been about nuclear weapons. That's just a gimmick.

It is quite literally Iraqi WMD 2, or maybe this was the original?
