It would be miniscule compared to the damage Israel inflicted on Lebanon for decades

Iran was "contained" under Obama's deal with them....that Trump tore up....and when he was in the middle of negotiating a new one he attacked Iran who were in good faith negotiations.

The rogue nation here is the US.


> Iran was "contained" under Obama's deal with them

Oh, you mean the JCPOA that Iran violated (before it was rejected by Trump) by failing to disclose storage of undeclared nuclear material at secret sites in Turquzabad between 2009 and 2018 and at Lavisan-Shian, Varamin and Marivan starting in 2003 to early 2000s?

UN watchdog declares Iran in breach of nuclear non-proliferation duties: https://www.iranintl.com/en/202506123029

The JCPOA, had weak stipulations on nuclear constraints that sunsetted after 15 years. The deal did not address Iran's missile program, human rights record or support for proxy terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas.

> Iran was in good faith negotiation

Iran has historically made promises, broken them and lied about it.

"The best time for Iran to have given up the weapons pursuit was after the 2003 embarrassment of being caught clearly lying about its nuclear program, but it did not. Over the years, the IAEA Board of Governors issued several warnings to the UN Security Council about the “possible military dimensions” of Iran’s nuclear program"

Iran treats it's people like shit and chooses terrorism over the welfare of it's own people

Isn't the person you're replying to suggesting people can update the firmware to the trusted version via a website? So it doesn't matter if you get one from 'the next batch' - provided you're on top of updating the firmware.


If only somebody could make a firmware that claims to have accepted the update, but then proceeds to not actually update itself. Read out the version string from the update and save it. Show that when asked what your version is.


And yet millions of people starve, are tortured and are worked to death in the name of Capitalism. How many die or are made destitute due to lack of affordable healthcare in the US alone?

Not to mention the trillions of dollars (and lives) given up in the pursuit of halting what we're told is a fragile, prone-to-collapse form of government for a hundred years now.

Strange that.


> How many die or are made destitute due to lack of affordable healthcare

Healthcare costs are unlimited, and healthcare doesn't solve death.

An equivalent non-partisan question would be "how many people die from lack of exercise"?


I'm not sure where or by whom you you were told it's a fragile, prone-to-collapse form of government, but I wasn't. Communism has a stranglehold on the societies it spawns within because the elite keep it that way.

Show me a country that espouses true Communist principles and I'll show you ten successful Capitalist ones. Don't confuse corporatism with capitalism, the latter which is the free exchange of ideas and goods mutually beneficial to both parties in an open market.

The US's enemies keep Cuba on life support for one reason.

Work a day in the gulag for your pithy apple ration and you'll be begging to sit in an air conditioned office and choose from ten apple varieties at different prices at your local Corporate Grocer.


> I'll show you ten successful Capitalist ones

Could you please list these ten countries even if I cannot show you a country that espouses true Communist principles?

Please do keep in mind though:

> Don't confuse corporatism with capitalism, the latter which is the free exchange of ideas and goods mutually beneficial to both parties in an open market.

Directly stated: the problem I see is that term Capitalism is basically used as a Motte and Bailey. It seems to be the least worst option, and it certainly has benefited us greatly. But that doesn't mean it should escape criticism - especially as it lists further and further into what you're calling "corporatism"


Yeah, in my experience it's typically used by people who can't counter your argument and people who seem likely to be fooled by actual bots. They're the same people, as it happens.


Where's the proof Roaring Kitty is a pump and dump scammer? He made the connections, concocted the thesis and is now taking it to its natural conclusion.

He wields enough power in his position that he doesn't need anyone to bring it about.


Given how he's handled other things, I doubt he's just using e-trafe


He hasn't done anything illegal. He posts his positions after the market closes and he's talked about his thesis for years now.

We're all just getting front row seats to the show.


Does his thesis still hold true? His thesis was when gme was worth way less.


How is it a pump and dump? He doesn't need anyone to do anything.

He has the position and the funds to make the play himself.
