> a sovereign country was bombed tonight

IRGC isn’t a sovereign country, it’s a designated terrorist organization

You forgot that IRGC already directly attacked Israel twice in 2024 [1,2], and that’s not including countless proxy attacks and terrorist acts, culminating in October 7th massacres & atrocities

You got it wrong: IRGC attacked and Israel retaliated

US is just helped a little bit their ally

> This stuff isn't OK.

UN, ICC, ICG, etc. all became a $hit show, they don’t work. For 40 years IRGC threatened with Genocide of Jews, and they did nothing. Now when Jews retaliated: * This stuff isn't OK.* ;)

Substance over form

or

De facto vs de jure

Pedantic rule-based systems are easy to circumvent with loopholes and lacunas. That’s why we should look at the substance and not merely a [legal] form

Examples:

- form: a cryptocurrency, but substance: an unregistered security

- “medical alcohol” during dry laws / Prohibition

- “medical marijuana” & patients vs drug users

- etc.

Was Third Reich[1] a “sovereign government” or a front for The National Socialist German Workers' Party?

Was USSR a “sovereign government” or a front for a Communist Party?

Is Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) a “sovereign government” or merely a front for IRGC[2]?

And wasn’t Iran/Persia already a “sovereign government” before IRGC staged a coup d'état (aka “revolution”)?

> "De facto" and "de jure" are Latin terms used to distinguish between what exists in reality and what is legally recognized. "De facto" refers to something that exists in practice or reality, even if not officially established or legally recognized. "De jure" refers to something that is legally recognized or officially established

So China isn't a sovereign government because it's a front for CPP and can be bombed at will...?


If any entity threatens u: u have 3 options: fight back, surrender, or self-destruct

In the first case, u have 2 more options: strike pre-emptively, or wait for them to strike & then retaliate

It doesn't matter what the entity is, it only matters whether they are enemy or not

> So China is not a sovereign state because it is a front for the CPP and can be bombed at will...?

I don't see the logical connection here. I never wrote that countries controlled by terrorist or authoritarian entities should be bombed at will. I wrote that some countries are highjacked by them, & if they attack or declare their intention to attack u, u may as well do it first


The amount of "oh of course we just have to kill them all" I am seeing online in the past day is horrifying.


Attacked Israel as a response to something?
