All military units have an inherent right to defend themselves. That means they can attack without orders if they are attacked or if an attack on them is imminent (missile lock, pointing a gun etc)
I agree, Iran has the right to defend itself against america and jizzraels epstien war
What right does the US have operating its military on the other side of the globe?
According to who?
The same people invading other countries in the first place? Not sure I completely trust their judgment on what's moral but that's just me. 🤷
the oil industry execs, of course: oil low, bomb. Oil high, peace
Except that's granting the narrative that this was in fact self-defense. The fact you're not questioning America's framing on this reveals you're not as neutral as your words suggest.
That is the point of the mockery. There is no such as an inherently right to defend yourself except in the legal fiction that is international/military law.
That would be like me claiming I have the inherent right to defend myself.....even when I've just kicked down my neighbor's door while wielding a rifle.
Law that disregards context, motive, or logic is just a constructed fiction to justify intent.
So basically just position yourself in a way that causes aggression or retaliation & you're in the clear?
* Israel has entered the chat *
U spelled jizzrael wrong
Yup, then they retire and teach cops this heinous shit... (Source: Prior service. My POS platoon sgt became a POS consultant for cops)
There's an entire training manual.
Counterpoint: Most military units can lick my taint.
They'll have to form a line, for operation taint licking.
