Iran

[Ttucke11]

Its changed on here in the last 3 months. This has gone from a right wing echo chamber to not...

Some people understand nuance and don't follow lock step with "their" party. Very good thing imo.

Reading is your friend.

AI isn't 100% but it thinks more rationally than the MAGA gang. Which isn't saying much actually I guess.

I know I’ve written a billion papers for English from copying AI

 

[MontyPython]

We've got a President who's vowing to knowingly and willfully commit war crimes by blowing up the civilian infrastructure of Iran.

Who's the terrorist here?

I thought teachers have methods to discern if papers are AI generated.

If I had know Chat GPT was reliable for arguments on here I would have done it more lol

Seems to be the origin of a significant number of responses.

**** it. Let's kick this sh*tshow off and skip right to the ramifications.

Like a major humanitarian crisis…cholera outbreak….lacking food and clean water. It won’t be pretty

Not if you ask your AI to humanize it and it also helps when you use AI on a different device. I didn’t copy and paste, I used chatgpt on my phone and then typed everything on my computer

This.

Plus Iran will lash out. It will launch missiles at the soft targets (e.g. desalinization plants) of our Gulf allies.

So if we harm Iran, we harm our allies.

This is Iran's plan. And it's a solid plan.

Trump is 100% too stupid to realize that he's already lost this war.

 

[GBO2011]

Either that or my teacher just doesn’t care

 

[GBO2011]

Which should that get its own thread or…

It’s not, I only use it for schoolwork

Made exponentially more disgusting by its blatant lack of necessity.

I wasn't referring to your responses.

 

[Orangeslice13]

I know, I had let @NorthDallas40 steal my thunder a little bit....

It even happens to me occasionally.
That’s what happens with a belief system instead of a party affiliation

Oh sorry, my bad

All the technology we spend billions and billions on, all we're told about how we can put a missile up a fly's ass from outer space, then we hit a school full of little girls and it was just an accident.

********.

There's not a piece of boomer bait that you won't chow down on is there?

Their beliefs change everything. No fanatical behavior from Iran equals no hostilities between them and the US for the past 40 plus years.

NK has been saber rattling since it's inception and far less likely to ever do anything other than that. They understand the term Mutually Assured Destruction and the end game they'll be left with.

Iran has weaponry that can reach all of the ME and parts of Europe. Care to take a guess how many military bases are within the region that places our troops at risk?
How do you know they were not developing a device? Look, I don't believe everything our government tells us either and most of the time they're deceiving us, but to look the other way and believe Iran wouldn't use a weapon if given the opportunity is just nuts.

That’s an assumption that’s not based on reality. What is reality is that even with them being psychotic they weren’t developing nuclear weapons and posed no real threat to the US. NK on the other hand (who I also think is a paper tiger) does have nuclear weapons and has declared the US an enemy and also wants us destroyed. Acting like Iran is more of a threat because their Muslim is funny

Both the IAEA and US intelligence said they weren’t

@RockyTop85 was right - the board has never been more united lol.

But I still maintain (and you will still disagree) that it was never to the degree that many on here claimed. Certainly not the 5 to 1 that was routinely thrown around.

Yeah but the IAEA also said Iraq wasn't a threat, and we saw how wrong they were.

...wait

********.

So we believe the propaganda about the accuracy of weapons until it’s proven false. I’m old but I remember the first Iraq war when they were on every news channel showing how we could fight a war with impunity without taking any damage.
That’s not how technology works. Sometimes it goes bad.

All that is irrelevant other than they deserve the criticism for the lies about our capabilities. But more importantly it’s a distraction from the fact that we absolutely should not be fighting this conflict and we still have not been told a good reason why it’s happening.

I'll get in trouble for saying this but Ive seen tons on the right spam fake info all day but never get the "LeeAnn"/Tull ban hammer...

It was never 5 to 1 but when someone is as much of a fiscal conservative as me was in the most 25% critical, that was kinda telling

That's kind of my point. Either we're the most kickass military with all the best stuff in the world and we intentionally attacked a school, or the bang for our (billions of) bucks is not close to what it should be, because for what we spend it damn well better be close to what the propaganda says. Neither answer is satisfactory.

Yup.
I was more or less just adding to what you said.
