Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Iran Raises Red Flag Of Revenge (kashmirobserver.net)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Sulvor@hexbear.net to c/news@hexbear.net
 

Last time the flag appeared on the eve of Iran’s unprecedented missile and drone attack on Israel in April this year.

The flag has been raised for the sixth time in Iran’s history.

Rolling ever closer to a wider regional war doomjak

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 61 points 1 month ago (6 children)

This is a revolutionary and decolonial war that we can win. I support the struggle to eradicate Israel

[–] TillieNeuen@hexbear.net 44 points 1 month ago (3 children)

On the one hand, I agree that someone has to stop Israel from continuing to genocide the Palestinians because they're not going to stop themselves. On the other hand, I have very little hope that a regional war will actually make things better

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 53 points 1 month ago

Short term it will likely be worse, long term peace is only possible with the destruction of the genocidal ethnostate

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 53 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

the Nazi concentration camps only really became systematic death camps as the war took a turn for the worse for the Germans on the Eastern Front, before that they were primarily labor camps. Does this mean the Soviets should not have pushed into Germany and destroyed the Nazi state? Allow them to keep permanent labor camps of jews and communist dissidents? Historical justice demands victory and unconditional surrender of our enemies. Anything less is a failure of justice. We are not responsible for the reactionary nature of capitalists, they do that themselves.

how do you think israel is eradicated without a regional war?

[–] TillieNeuen@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago (4 children)

They have nukes and I fully believe they're bloodthirsty enough to launch them.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So? So because they have nukes we all have to sit by as the colonize and genocide forever? That's really the plan? Fuck them I would rather the world burn

[–] TillieNeuen@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Plan? I don't have a plan. I'm just a dummy on the internet, seeing death and destruction on the horizon for a whole lot of people. Again: doomjak

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Lots of wars, including decolonial and revolutionary ones, need to happen and when they start in earnest, need our full support not dooming woe is me stuff. The moment the US involves itself in this regional war we need to bring hell upon the state as a fifth column, prepare for that don't sit around dreading the future that is inevitable

I didn't know they had a revenge flag, that is so cool.

[–] Sulvor@hexbear.net 53 points 1 month ago

It’s honestly such a badass headline it feels a little sensationalist even though it’s just a plain fact

[–] CommCat@hexbear.net 46 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They raised it when Soleimani was assasinated. In respone, Iran launched missiles at some US bases in Iraq. Wonder what will be the target this time?

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 38 points 1 month ago

timmy-pray please god let iran turn the knesset into a molten crater

War with Israel is long overdue and needed. Unironically good for them to be wiped off the earth, it must happen

[–] Yor@hexbear.net 61 points 1 month ago

at this point it should be clear that zionists will never stop on their own

God if they launch the missiles in the next 3 hours I’m not going to get any sleep tonight so I hope they wait at least 4

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

You’re good, they’ll wait till I’m just about to go to sleep

[–] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 43 points 1 month ago

Fingers crossed they over-deliver and don't just hype it up and then deliver a fart.

I mean the last time Iran raised this flag something significant did happen. Iran directly attacked Israel and landed several successful hits on military targets in Israel. The US was forced to help defend Israel and intercept drones and missiles.

[–] I_CAST_BEAM_OF_BATS_I_CAST_BOLT_OF_BATS@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

the heaviest radar+air defense in the world, in addition to the US military immediately intercepting, and they still hit the site with missiles they have a shitton of

while it was reported on as hyper-sonic missiles, that's just in their final stage. it's not like Iran used some kind of glide weapon thing. they have a shitton of these missiles. didn't take many drones to get them through

You are wrong, if I explain why then I will be insulting the intelligence of everyone reading your comment

[–] D61@hexbear.net 38 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Is this the how desperate the c/News com gets when its behind c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns? Risking a regional hot war with the potential of nukes going off just to get the comment count up?

[–] Sulvor@hexbear.net 35 points 1 month ago

They can’t keep getting away with it!

i have always been a flag-skeptical person

despite that i gotta admit "red flag of revenge" has a certain appeal

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 35 points 1 month ago

I should get a revenge flag...
